If you’ve been following the news, you have undoubtedly noticed that some media outlets, along with a lot of Democrats, are in a total state of denial about what is unfolding around Joe and Hunter Biden.

Some liberal media outlets are ignoring the news outright, while some Democrats pathetically try to spin Joe’s involvement with the things Hunter did.

There’s a simple reason for this.

Admitting any of it would implicate them too. The same goes for much of the intelligence community.

A political consultant named Shane Harris recently wrote at the Association of Mature Citizens:

The National Scandal That Is Too Big To Break

Conservatives looking to expose the full extent of the Biden family’s corruption have a problem: the scandal might be too big to break.

Typically, there are three main entities involved in taking down a politician over a corruption scandal. First, there is the media, which broadcasts the details of the scandal, eroding public support. Second, there is law enforcement, which investigates and, if necessary, presses criminal charges. Third, there is the party establishment, which ultimately abandons the politician as a matter of self-preservation, signaling that it’s “game over.”

But what happens when a scandal is so big that the people responsible for breaking it are implicated in it as well?

That is the situation which now faces the mainstream media, the federal intelligence bureaucracy, and the Democrat Party. For years, they have all parroted Biden’s lies and created an echo chamber of denial about wrongdoing by the president and his family. Now, with it all beginning to crumple around them, they’re seeing that the downfall of the president spells the end of their own reputations and careers as well.

That’s it in a nutshell.

Do you think anyone at CNN, the New York Times or the Washington Post are ever going to admit that they got everything wrong? It’s impossible. They can’t face it.

The country is suffering through this madness because these childish actors can’t face the truth or admit their role in it.

Former Vice President Mike Pence issued a statement Tuesday evening on the indictment of his former boss and now presidential campaign rival President Trump for contesting the 2020 election and lobbying state officials, Congress and Pence about the election. Pence said he has not reviewed the indictment.

Trump strongly lobbied Pence to accept challenges to state election results and give those states time to review their elections when he presided over the joint session of Congress on January 6, 2021. Pence rejected Trump’s pleas, disagreeing with Trump’s saying he had the legal authority to do so under the Electoral Count Act of 1887.

Today’s indictment serves as an important reminder: anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States

I will have more to say about the government’s case after reviewing the indictment. The former president is entitled to the presumption of innocence but with this indictment, his candidacy means more talk about January 6th and more distractions.

As Americans, his candidacy means less attention paid to Joe Biden’s disastrous economic policies afflicting millions across the United States and to the pattern of corruption with Hunter.

“Our country is more important than one man. Our constitution is more important than any one man’s career.

On January 6th, Former President Trump demanded that I choose between him and the Constitution. I chose the Constitution and I always will.

“As your president, I will not yield an inch in defending America, our people, or our values, and I promise you: I will do so in a way consistent with my oath to the Constitution and the character and decency of the American people. We will restore a threshold of integrity and civility in public life so we can bring real solutions to the real challenges plaguing our nation.”

Republican voters’ support for Pence’s candidacy against Trump is mired in the low single digits while Trump’s support is well over 50 percent in recent polls.
