Big Rat leaves the White House blubbering
American Thinker ^ | 2 Feb, 2023 | Monica Showalter

When rats jump ship, we don't usually hear them crying about it.

But then there's White House chief of staff, Ron Klain, a.k.a. Joe Biden's "Big Rat" who couldn't stop bawling as he exited the White House.

According to the New York Post:

WASHINGTON — Outgoing White House chief of staff Ron Klain broke down in tears over and over again Wednesday while handing over power to his successor Jeff Zients — going so far as to praise President Biden as a role model for parenting and Vice President Kamala Harris as a great officemate.

“This is the best job I ever had,” the 61-year-old Klain blubbered as he began his remarks at an East Room transition celebration, forcing his 80-year-old boss to supportively rub his shoulder as he regained his composure.

In the moments when he wasn’t crying, Klain seemed to confirm that Biden is running for reelection in 2024 and acknowledge PR woes for Vice President Kamala Harris, who has received bad press as workers flee what’s been described as a “toxic” vice presidential office.

It's almost as if he didn't want to leave.

Klain let out a slew of whoppers in his exit speech, one of which calling Kamala Harris "the best vice president in history," which we hope was faint praise, given the trifling job. Not to worry, though, Kamala would buy it as some kind of compliment and puff with pride, and the old rat had to have known that and snuffled to himself with satisfaction.

Klain had oodles of praise for Biden himself, comparing him to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Dwight Eisenhower, and Harry S. Truman, citing his boss's legislative wins, and then he let out this howler:

I’m sure he is sad, leaving the job of actual co president without even having to run or campaign. Scr*w him.

If the speculation is true that the deep state is the origin of the “evidence” of the recent Biden “classified documents” scandal, because they and the DNC and the Obamas want Biden out BEFORE the 2024 elections, then I would also speculate that THEY are behind Ron Klain leaving Biden before things get worse, making Biden even weaker, on purpose. Why else would Klain be so emotional? Wouldbn’t he be more inlined to stay, because in spite of all the Biden problems, they and the DNC do think the Biden-Pelosi double team on the GOP Congressional minority was very successful, as far as THEIR objectives were concerned. Klain was a big part of that. I think Klain is so sad because there is some sort of hidden hands forcing him to leave now.

I think he's auditioning for a role in Hollywood that demanding convincing crying at the drop of a hat. Only problem I saw was that the crying seemed contrived and insincere.

But he will probably still get the part, because Hollywood standards have been lowered along with every other standard that used to be in place.
