Yesterday was the 235th anniversary of the Constitution of the United States. It’s one of the most influential documents in history and the world’s oldest active codified constitution. Yet you would have never known, given the deafening silence on the social media accounts of our country’s president and vice president. While they often pander to crowds, touting the importance of the Constitution, neither President Joe Biden nor Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to acknowledge Constitution Day on their social media accounts.
The Constitution is one of the greatest documents in the history of the world, so it is a little peculiar that our country’s leadership failed to acknowledge Constitution Day on any of their social media platforms. Instead, President Biden and Vice President Harris spent the day tweeting about the need for abortion, the Inflation Reduction Act, and climate change. Considering both made multiple posts across different platforms celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month on Sept. 15, just two days earlier, it’s a telling sign that neither posted about the significance of Sept. 17.
Yet this lack of patriotism and appreciation for the Constitution did not stop with Biden and Harris. This slight appeared to be widespread among the Democratic Party. Neither the Senate Democrats nor House Democrats’ Twitter accounts acknowledged Constitution Day. Neither did the Democrats‘ Twitter account. However, all managed to post about National Hispanic Heritage Month.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) also failed to acknowledge Constitution Day but did acknowledge National Hispanic Heritage Month — multiple times. But somehow, he managed to find time out of his busy day to tweet about something called “Passport Month.” But when it came to Constitution Day, Schumer’s Twitter had a deafening silence. And, probably to no one’s surprise, neither Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) nor any of the “Squad” members appeared to acknowledge Constitution Day.
This was in stark contrast to the Republicans, and honestly, this revelation shouldn’t be surprising. Unlike their left-wing counterparts, the House Republicans and Senate Republicans‘ Twitter accounts tweeted about Constitution Day and the 235th anniversary of our country’s governing document. Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rand Paul (R-KY) were among the many, many Republicans who tweeted about Sept. 17. Oh, and Republicans also tweeted about National Hispanic Heritage Month, effectively showing it was possible to tweet about both. Republicans decided to do so. Democrats chose not to.
But this is quite odd given the Democrats’ constant rhetoric about constitutional rights. It’s even stranger that 16 days after Joe “Soul of the Nation” Biden gave the most hateful and divisive speech by any president in our nation’s history, at the site where the Constitution was ratified, he did not mention anything about its 235th anniversary.
The same goes for Vice President Harris. Count how many times she uses the phrase “constitutional rights” in her speeches. Yet she couldn’t find the less than five seconds it takes to send out a message on any social media platform commemorating the Constitution of the United States of America.
Then again, given that Biden and the Democrats repeatedly fail to follow the Constitution’s principles or adhere to many of its guidelines, maybe this slight wasn’t unintentional. Perhaps it shouldn’t be all that surprising that Democrats failed to celebrate Constitution Day on social media like they did National Hispanic Heritage Month — or Passport Month. Clearly, Democrats have shown their priorities.
Biden, Harris, and all the Democrats that failed to acknowledge this date should be ashamed of themselves. It’s disgraceful. It’s indicative of the lack of patriotism the Left has for the country. When the cameras are rolling or it benefits them politically, they tout the Constitution. Yet, when it comes to honoring one of the greatest documents in human civilization, Biden and his Democrats largely were nowhere to be found. On the date that honored the 235th anniversary of the Constitution of the United States, Biden, Harris, and many others on the Left revealed their true colors — and they weren’t red, white, and blue.
