Last month, Democratic Party leaders forced President Joe Biden to end his reelection campaign in one of the most ruthless acts of age discrimination in modern history. "What I find interesting is the issue is more around ageism, ableism, and not what this president, President Biden, has done," Rep. Steven Horsford (D., Nev.), chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, complained in an interview with CNN days before Biden, 81, withdrew from the race and endorsed Kamala Harris.
We're happy to report there are at least some political elites around the world who reject the Democratic Party's heartless and discriminatory approach to governance. Earlier this month, the president of Bangladesh appointed Muhammad Yunus, an 84-year-old Nobel laureate, to lead an interim government after deadly protests prompted the resignation of female dictator Sheikh Hasina, sometimes referred to as "the Hillary Clinton of Bangladesh."
Yunus, who was sworn in last week, faces a much tougher task than Biden. Several weeks after celebrating his 84th birthday, he has been tasked with restoring law and order in Bangladesh and cleaning up the "complete mess" left by "the monster" Hasina. Biden, by contrast, has been relaxing on a beach in Delaware while Harris, who once described his presidential legacy as "unmatched in modern history," prepared to unburden herself from Biden's policies.
It must be particularly frustrating for Yunus to watch the Democratic Party conduct their shenanigans and denounce a man three years younger than him as "too old" to run for reelection. Yunus won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for his pioneering work in the field of microfinance and lifting millions out of poverty. Three years later, he had to watch Barack Obama win the Nobel Peace Prize for winning an election, apologizing to Muslims, and making American liberals feel good about themselves.
