Instead they chose to embrace him with more devotion than ever, despite the fact that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=49023\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">he has become America&#8217;s Biggest Loser<\/a><\/strong>. Republican members of Congress have been making the mandatory pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago to kiss Dear Leader&#8217;s &#8211; let&#8217;s just say ring.<\/p>\n<p>Chief among the obedient faithful is the Senate&#8217;s number two Republican, John Cornyn of Texas. And to demonstrate his loyalty to Hair Trump, Cornyn posted a tweet that he intended as a slam on Biden. It said that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The president is not doing cable news interviews. Tweets from his account are limited and, when they come, unimaginably conventional. The public comments are largely scripted. Biden has opted for fewer sit down interviews with mainstream outlets and reporters. [&#8230;] Invites the question: is he really in charge?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Invites the question: is he really in charge?<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Senator John Cornyn (@JohnCornyn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JohnCornyn\/status\/1381559881816227840?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 12, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>First of all, it needs to be noted that Cornyn&#8217;s tweet was cut and pasted, without attribution (plagiarism?), from a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/04\/12\/biden-white-house-press-strategy-480930\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Politico article<\/a><\/strong> by White House Correspondent Eugene Daniels. But more to the point, Cornyn is apparently appalled that Biden doesn&#8217;t regard his duties as President to be ranting endlessly on Twitter and posting clips of himself on Fox News (between rounds of golf at his own resorts). In Cornyn&#8217;s acutely warped Trumpism, Biden is neglecting his job by spending all of his time actually doing it.<\/p>\n<p>The excerpt from the Politico article was not meant to be critical. It was merely descriptive of a president who isn&#8217;t a pompous braggart that needs to be the center attention at all times; who isn&#8217;t at war with the free press; and who expresses himself with simple honesty. Biden views the presidency as a sacred duty to serve the people, rather than his own ego. And he sought to be a relief from the reality TV melodrama of the Trump era. That point was made by Daniels later in the article:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;During the campaign, the Biden team sold themselves as a return to calm. Their commitment to that pledge since taking office makes clear that it wasn\u2019t just a show for voters but an actual strategy. It is a head-spinning departure from four years of President Donald Trump, who was his own surrogate and aspiring assignment editor, tweeting changes to policy and taking the typically adversarial relationship with the press to a full-on war. [&#8230;] But Biden aides believed that simplicity and restraint was the best approach. He won the election.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The stance by Biden and his administration is a deliberate departure from the madness of Trump &#038; Company. What&#8217;s more, it is what the American people want and voted for in droves. Biden&#8217;s press secretary, Jen Psaki, stated it succinctly when Cornyn&#8217;s comments were raised at the daily White House briefing:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Reporter:<\/strong> Sen. John Cornyn has called Joe Biden&#8217;s tweets &#8220;unimaginably conventional&#8221; and said that his comments were &#8220;largely scripted&#8221; and questioned whether he was really in charge. Does the White House have any reaction to that?<br \/>\n<strong>Psaki:<\/strong> Well I can confirm that the President of the United States does not spend his time tweeting conspiracy theories. He spends his time working on behalf of the American people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"cy\" dir=\"ltr\">Jen Psaki owns John Cornyn <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5dkdkfMIxo\">pic.twitter.com\/5dkdkfMIxo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/atrupar\/status\/1381651267215364099?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 12, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Working on behalf of the American people?
