Joe Biden’s shadow government is desperately trying to sell the lie that the 2020 election was completely on the level. That’s what makes Joe’s Chief of Staff pick seem so strange. Ron Klaine has a long history of challenging presidential election results and firmly believe they are rigged. He is a liberal so that probably means elections are rigged only when democrats lose them, but the optics are still bad.
As news came that Ron Klain would be Biden’s pick for CoS, Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) said, “Ron Klain is a man who matches this moment in terms of the background, the experience and the wisdom we’re going to need.”
Let’s review some of that experience and wisdom, shall we? Klain was once Al Gore’s top aide and led the former VP’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. As you know, according democrats and Biden, even suggesting that the results of an election on not on the up and up destroys democracy and kills kittens.
That’s what makes this Twitter exchange by Klain from 2014 seem a bit off message:
68% of Americans think elections are rigged. http://t.co/duqMRiV8x9

Since the election democrats and the liberal media have been calling President Trump “literal Hitler” for saying the same thing. It certainly doesn’t look good for Joe’s campaign to sell the legitimacy of his election win to have an election results skeptic as his chief of staff.
While we’re on the subject of Klain’s experience and wisdom, he was once Obama’s “Ebola Czar” and he had some interesting thoughts on the coronavirus pandemic earlier this year:
On #COVIDー19: If you want to do something useful today, go to Chinatown — buy a meal, go shopping. The virus attacks humans, not people of any ethnicity/race. Fear is hurting Chinese-American owned businesses, baselessly. Let’s fight the disease AND let’s fight prejudice.

That tweet came after President Trump banned travel form China in an effort to slow down the spread. Klain’s tweet was part of the liberal effort to paint Trump’s move as racist, something Joe Biden also attempted.
And finally, Klain’s experience and wisdom included overseeing Obama’s “recovery” plan that gave $535 million to solar power company Solyndra, which promptly went bankrupt, sticking taxpayers with the bill.
Joe Biden has been on the wrong side of every issue in his 50 years in Washington, so it makes sense that he’d pick a Chief of Staff with the same record of failure. It would actually seem weird if he chose someone who knew what the f*ck he was doing.
All of this is pointless as Joe Biden will never be President of the United States. The scheme to steal the 2020 election is unravelling and will ultimately give President Trump the win he earned.
Still, Biden will probably never admit he lost and will try to run a shadow presidency from his basement bunker. Klain be on hand to bring him some warm milk and his dementia medications as Joe tries to remember just who the hell he is. For that, Ron Klain really is the man that matches the moment.
