“So you have two choices,” she continued. “You have my husband, Joe, who you all know who has integrity, he’s strong, he’s steady, he’s a leader, he’s smart, he’s energetic, or you have chaos.” Jill Biden on 'The View,'
. . . "It’s one thing for a First Lady to use her platform to champion personal causes. Michelle Obama focused on child nutrition, Laura Bush prioritized child literacy, and Hillary Clinton pushed healthcare reform. But leading a cabinet meeting as if she holds actual governmental power is a different story. It doesn’t matter what Jill Biden was there to comment on — what matters is that she was there at all.
"She’s neither an elected nor appointed official. No one voted for her, and she has no political power, which makes her input on policy completely symbolic and essentially an extension of her husband. But when she shows up to a cabinet meeting, it sends the message that she is the one in charge and that her husband is an extension of her." . . .
While it may be true that past first ladies have participated in Cabinet meetings, the optics of Jill Biden at this meeting at the head of the table, looking and acting like she's running the show, are horrible. I'm sure Biden's handlers in the White House knew that.
Fact Check: Did 'The View' advocate for Jill Biden to become surgeon general? - MEAWW News . . ."In 2020, Whoopi Goldberg remarked on 'The View' that the future first lady might assume the role of surgeon general if Joe Biden were elected president, referring to her as a "hell of a doctor."
"I'm hoping Dr Jill becomes the surgeon general, his wife," Goldberg said. "Joe Biden's wife. She would never do it, but yeah, she's a hell of a doctor. She's an amazing doctor." . . .
In which way? I would ask. TD
