There’s nothing wrong with being rich and spending Thanksgiving on Nantucket. Just don’t pretend you are something else, that’s all.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Last week, President Joe Biden followed the White House Thanksgiving tradition of pardoning a turkey. This week, he’s keeping his own family holiday tradition: going to Nantucket.
The president and first lady Jill Biden have long celebrated Thanksgiving on the well-heeled Massachusetts island off of Cape Cod. But with most members of the public unfamiliar with the first family’s holiday history, Democrats are dismissing concerns that self-proclaimed “Scranton Joe” will seem out of touch with the working-class voters he is trying to persuade to cast ballots for Democrats next year.
Biden’s Thanksgiving plans personify a “Marie Antoinette attitude,” according to presidential historian and Ronald Reagan biographer Craig Shirley, as people struggle amid a pandemic-strained economy with record-high inflation.
“Reagan was always disparaged for spending Thanksgiving at the ranch in California, but Biden’s tone-deafness is alarming,” Shirley said. “Yes, presidents have often been criticized for where they spent Thanksgiving, but Biden’s choice is especially egregious.”

Just as “Lunch-bucket Joe” was never real, so too “nice guy Joe” was never real. He’s always been a jerk, and worse.
