Letter to the editor: Biden's gaffes a pattern, not coincidence

It is my opinion that news media disseminators are ever so quick to point out that many of Joe Biden’s words are just mistakes or he misspoke, misspoken words taken out of context, or they are just misinterpreted or just coincidences. They are forever defending him and making excuses. On any given day you will see the same excuse on every news broadcast, almost as if there is a hidden grapevine from which the press gets its marching orders.

With that in mind I believe this quote from the book “Magpie Murders” by Anthony Horowitz sheds a much better light, especially about Biden’s proverbial coincidences. “Everything in life had a pattern and that a coincidence was simply the moment when the pattern became briefly visible.”

Shortly after his disastrous presidential debate with Donald Trump, Biden on July 8 delivered a forceful message in a private call with his National Finance Committee, which includes hundreds of top Democratic donors and bundlers: “I have one job, and that’s to beat Donald Trump. I’m absolutely certain I’m the best person to be able to do that. So, we’re done talking about the debate. It’s time to put Trump in a bull’s-eye.”
