Time to face the truth
“This is not who we are,” said Joe Biden on Wednesday, as armed insurrectionists freely roamed the Capitol:
“Let me be very clear: The scenes of chaos at the Capitol do not reflect a true America. Do not represent who we are. What we’re seeing are a small number of extremists dedicated to lawlessness.”
I like Joe Biden. I’m glad he won the election. I want him to de-escalate, to soothe, to uplift. I want him to empower the better angels of our nature.
I also want him to speak the truth. I want him to face with relentless discipline the reality of the society he has just been certified to preside over as President.
I want him to lead.
Because the truth is that this is who we are.
