The left wing media’s wish casting continued Wednesday afternoon with a bizarre opinion piece from The Washington Post’s editorial board written as a withdrawal speech from President Biden.
Following Biden’s disastrous debate performance, left-leaning media has been working double time to try and get him to bow out of the race. But while The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Economist and others have been practically begging Biden to leave the race, none have gone so far as to actually write his concession speech. That is, until now.
“My season of service is nearing its close.

The paper went from calling anyone who posted a video showing Biden’s clearly deteriorating mental state a spreader of disinformation to animating a hyperbolic version of Biden who admits he’s not up for the job. Zero editorial consistency.
“At this moment, the nation needs something I cannot provide: a leader with the energy to run a vigorous campaign and then to work for America, at all hours, for the next four years,” the WaPo piece continued.
Well, there’s at least one aspect of the piece I agree with.
