In an Associated Press report on Tuesday, Nov. 10, Joe Biden alleged President Trump’s claim to be the rightful winner of the presidential election, “an embarrassment.”

The true “embarrassment” is Joe Biden making this allegation in front of a large blue backdrop emblazoned with the words “Office of the President-Elect.”

While providing for impressive optical impact, the “Office of the President-Elect” doesn’t exist. It isn’t real. There is no constitutional, statutory or regulatory authority establishing such an office.

It is pure political theater and nothing more.

For Joe Biden to continue to use this fake office as the venue of his policy pronouncements is irresponsible and unbecoming of one claiming to be the president-elect of the United States of America.
