The Biden political machine has turned its guns on a former aide who has spoken critically of the increasingly unpopular president’s reelection efforts.
The message from Biden’s mafia-style enforcers to current and former members of the president’s political circle is clear: break the “Biden code of silence” and get blackballed from Democrat politics — or worse.
A report from Axios observes “an unusual load of West Wing dirty laundry is being aired about former staffer” Michael LaRosa, former press secretary to first lady Jill Biden.
“A surprising number of President Biden’s current and former aides — at least six — are lining up to tell backstairs tales to The Daily Mail,” the outlet reports.
The timing of the stale allegations is no accident. The Axios report continues, “Colleagues bit their tongues for over a year, until LaRosa recently started criticizing the White House on cable news programs and social media.”
The charges levied against LaRosa, over a year after his departure from the East Wing — include leaking information about Willow, the Biden’s cat, to tipping off reporters about the Biden’ upcoming travel — a common occurrence in scoop-hungry Washington.
Sources also told the Daily Mail that during a state visit to Ukraine, LaRosa attempted to bring a male date to his hotel room in violation of security protocols before security forces intervened. LaRosa, who is openly gay, denies he violated any rules or disobeyed any instructions from Secret Service agents and disputes the characterizations of the unnamed sources.
The sources also paint a picture of LaRosa as a hothead, with one source telling the outlet “He was talked to about his behavior and told you can’t yell at colleagues, that you have to modulate your temper.”
Yet despite the new charges against LaRosa, at the time his alleged actions took place, they apparently did not trigger Biden’s clearly stated punishment for such behavior. Biden publicly told his staff “treat another colleague with disrespect, talk down to someone, I promise you I will fire you on the spot.”
In addition, current and former White House colleagues have attacked LaRosa’s credibility, deriding him as a low level staffer despite his closeness with a first lady and an immense amount of influence with President Biden and across the White House.
NBC News reported White House aides call the first lady “the decider,” claiming she has “unparalleled influence and impact on the president.”
LaRosa’s criticisms of Biden’s reelection efforts that triggered the Biden retaliation are hardly unwarranted.
Biden is polling behind former President Trump, a notion once unthinkable among Democrat operatives. His approval has reached historic lows, with his approval rating in the mid-thirties in various polls. And his popularity with key demographics Democrats have long tsken for granted, including young people, blacks, and Hispanics,… Read More
