In a Letter to the Editor to the New York Times, Politico founder Martin Tolchin argued against investigating Tara Reade’s sexual assault allegations of Joe Biden, citing fear of losing the 2020 election. Tolchin said he wants “a coronation of Joe Biden,” not an investigation into the former Senate aide’s rape allegations.

“I don’t want an investigation. I want a coronation of Joe Biden. Would he make a great president? Unlikely. Would he make a good president? Good enough. Would he make a better president than the present occupant? Absolutely,” Tolchin wrote.

Tolchin continued to say he was not interested in justice for Reade, his priority is winning the 2020 election.

“I don’t want justice, whatever that may be. I want a win, the removal of Donald Trump from office, and Mr. Biden is our best chance,” Tolchin said.

Tolchin worked for the New York Times for 40 years, founded The Hill, and helped launch Politico. He won many journalism awards including the Everett M. Dirksen Prize for Distinguished Reporting of Congress.

So much for the Democratic Party being, well, “democratic”. But we already knew that.

That memory is rapidly fading.

I still remember that scumbag Walter Cronkite telling us of our defeat during Tet. It was total bullsh*t then and not much has changed.

Note to add: I find the use of the word: “Coronation” to be quite interesting as well as concerning.

We all know that IF the Commies somehow prevail in November, this experiment is over.

Well, there you have it in plain English. No interest in the truth or justice, only in winning an election, come hell or high water. It’s the old canard, ‘the ends justify the means.”

The fact that justice for Tara Reed is not of any importance to him or the country; nor does he care about the fact that the country elected Trump in 2016 and for 4 years he has endured false accusations and one investigation after another. Also, his supporters have been insulted and demeaned. None of this matters to him. What a selfish lout, he is.

The use of the word “coronation” makes this guy worse than just being biased. Kings and emperors have coronations. They don’t bother with pesky little things like free and fair elections.

Politico was going harder on this story than any other outlet last week. Tolchin must not have much influence there anymore.

Somebody needs to tell, that DUNCE who wrote that article that KINGS & QUEENS have “coronations”. and that the USA is NOT a MONARCHY.

further, somebody should tell the DUNCE that the 2020 election is OVER for all intents & purposes as the DIMocRATS Party has NOBODY who has a prayer of defeating Donald J. Trump. = NOBODY at all.
(What the DIMocRATS so-called “leadership” does have in excess is a surplus of: LOUDMOUTHS, FOOLS, HYPOCRITES, BIGOTS, HATERS, LUNATICS, SELF-RIGHTEOUS MORONS, ANTISEMITES, RACISTS & SELF-IMPORTANT CROOKS/CREEPS.)

Sadly for the DIMocRATS but GREAT for the USA & for LIBERTY, every day more American adults can no longer stand the thought of voting for such SKUNKS & CROOKS.

The General Election on 03NOV2020 will be a humiliating BLOODBATH for the DIMocRATS.

Yours, TMN78247
