    Jeet Heer Retweeted Joe Biden

    This is a good tweet but it's undercut by the fact that the policy Biden is rightly criticizing here is advocated by one of his economic advisors. Biden needs to distance himself from the austerity advocates in his own camp.https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1259855842041565186 …

    I have a better idea: give people coronavirus economic relief and don't hold their hard-earned benefits hostage. https://twitter.com/JStein_WaPo/status/1259542211789717506 …

        He’s got dozens of economic and public health advisors. How many fall into this category?

        God forbid “one of his economic advisors” have a differing opinion. C’mon already with the purge urge..

        So Biden is doing the exact thing you are saying he should be doing, and he’s doing it in the exact tweet you are quoting. Hmmmm...

        And he would also need to distance himself from his entire political career.
