Abigail Disney, the granddaughter to Roy O. Disney, who cofounded The Walt Disney Company, told CNBC on Thursday that she plans to withhold donations to the party she has funded for years until Biden drops out. The president has said he has no plans to withdraw from the race, despite calls for him to do so.
“I intend to stop any contributions to the party unless and until they replace Biden at the top of the ticket. This is realism, not disrespect. Biden is a good man and has served his country admirably, but the stakes are far too high,” Abigail Disney said in a lengthy statement to CNBC. “If Biden does not step down the Democrats will lose. Of that I am absolutely certain. The consequences for the loss will be genuinely dire.”
Which isn’t exactly something new. Sitting presidents haven’t often had primaries challenging them.
And that’s when it should have been done. If everyone was so worried about his age and health, that was a good ways back at this point.
It’s jist stupidity, the same love of stupidity that has plagued the democrats leadership for my lifetime. Occasional successes, but vast stretches of horrible decisions.
