Biden fails to congratulate Argentina's new president, libertarian Javier Milei
American Thinker ^ | 11/22/2023 | Monica Showalter

Joe Biden has always been Johnny-on-the-spot whenever a radical leftist has gotten elected in Latin America.

But for Argentina's new president, elected by a ten-point-plus margin?

Crickets.

He's said nothing at all to Javier Milei, Argentina's first libertarian president, on his quite truly historic victory in an undoubtedly free and fair election, with 30 million hand-counted ballots, their validity approved by both parties and delivered on election night, that made Milei president. He could have congratuated just the election if he couldn't stand Milei, which we know he can't as a fair-minded formality, but of course, he didn't. The White House web site is bereft of any pretense of congratulations from hoary old Joe.

That stands in striking contrast to his swift congratulatory message to other countries that have elected radical leftist leaders.

He congratulated Gabriel Boric, an antifa-style far-left student protest leader in Chile who got elected president in 2021, calling Chile's results "a powerful example" for the world.

He congratulated Gustavo Petro, a former communist narcoguerrilla and Hugo Chavez buddy, when he got elected president in Colombia in 2022, commending that election as "free and fair" and reaffirming "U.S. support for Colombia."

He congratulated Luiz Inacio "Lula" da Silva, a radical left-wing union organizer, who got re-elected president in Brazil in 2022, in what many Brazilans called a fraud-filled election, hailing the "strength of Brazilian democratic institutions following free, fair, and credible elections"

That election sounded like ours, which of course is why he really liked it. It takes one to know one.

What does Biden have to gain for the U.S. by not congratulating Milei?

It's shocking, really. Other than condemn election fraud in the states, Milei has never said a bad word about Biden. He has expressed only the warmest words of admiration for the U.S.

Instead of congratulate this man, just as a formality if nothing else, he chooses to join the ranks of Nicolas Maduro, Daniel Ortega, Luiz Inacio "Lula" da Silva, the Iranian mullahs, and all rogue states in withholding congratulations, even as Pope Francis (whom Milei has insulted as a communist) and other world leaders engage and extend congratulations.

Our government is part of an International leftist movement and it is really a threat to world peace and prosperity.

biden is an sob. He’s mad that he can’t sic the FBI on Milei, or order a raid on his house, or order him arrested on false charges.

I hope Trump turns the tables on biden when he gets into office, and shows biden what true retributive justice means.

This is ALL Obama. Remember how he treated the Dalai Lama? Remember how he treated Netanyahu when they were at the White House?

Maybe “fails” is the right word ... Biden only does or doesn’t do what his handlers tell him to do.

The biden regime and our corrupt media will do everything in their power to ignore Argentina publicly. Meanwhile the CIA and DOJ are most likely working on taking out Mileo. I’d bet my house on it.

Biden and his leftist crew want a totally communist South America. Wherever there is a country that believes I freedom and fair elections there exists a spotlight aimed at the rotten administration here.

Milei should make a public speech inviting Biden to come to Argentina to learn how to be a leader and the Pope to come to Argentina to learn how to be a Catholic.
