“No comment.”
It is true that the modern obsession with performative politics in times of tragedy has resulted in the somewhat bizarre expectation that politicians immediately descend on the site of any disaster as proof not only of their control of the situation, but also of their deep and unwavering compassion.to behave otherwise, regardless of their previous actions or work behind the scenes, is widely demonized … if they’re a Republican.
Yes, this reaction is entirely emotional — it’s hard to argue that Cruz was going to roll up his sleeves and personally get the electricity working again — but it’s also important to acknowledge that roles of supposed leadership and representation come with some level of expectation regarding displays of camaraderie.
But given the political tarring and feathering of Cruz and the political crucifixion of Bush, how is Biden able to get away with the response of “no comment,” let alone the fact that his entire brand is empathy, empathy, and more empathy?
