'Journalists who cover national politics do us a disservice when they overlook or minimize significant missteps from our country’s leaders.' More from danschnur in our Perspectives section:
Another example: after an ultra-conservative government was elected in Italy recently, Biden was harshly critical of the results and warned an audience of Democratic governors that “democracy is at stake” around the world. This is Italy’s farthest right government since Benito Mussolini’s two decades of fascist rule and earliest iterations of the “Brothers of Italy” party have some links to Mussolini himself .
But incoming Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, while much more conservative than Biden, has been a strong supporter of Ukraine throughout the current war and Italy has been a key member of the western coalition. It’s not clear whether Biden’s warnings about her new government were scripted or spontaneous, but there are legitimate questions about whether such peremptory criticisms are the best way to keep an important ally in the fold at such a critical point in the war.
This was obviously just a slip of the tongue: there’s no question that Harris is very familiar with our relationships on the Korean Peninsula and knows that the “Republic of Korea” is the official name of the nation of South Korea. But the criticism would have been loud and harsh if a previous vice president – of either party – had made such a mistake.
I am not a Trump acolyte. I believe strongly that the seriousness of the events of January 6 and the controversy over the Mar-a-Lago classified documents far outweigh these less consequential mistakes. But they still deserve attention and news coverage. And the journalists who cover national politics do us a disservice when they overlook or minimize significant missteps from our country’s leaders.
