The vice president is trying to cast himself as the middle-class Everyman

Vice President Joe Biden, America’s textbook Beltway barnacle, still labors under the illusion that he is America’s middle-class Everyman. And now, he has gone and dragged his adult children into the land of Democratic make-believe. This is a BFD: a Biden Fabulist Dud.
As usual with White House class-warfare demagoguery, reality doesn’t fit the wealth-bashing narrative.
At the International Association of Fire Fighters’ 51st Convention in Philadelphia on Wednesday, Biden stoked passive-aggressive resentment of the 1 percenters. “The wealthy,” he sniveled. “God bless ’em,” he snarked. “I wish my kids would become wealthy,” he sighed, before railing against tax relief for all those evil, privileged rich people earning more than $250,000 a year.
Does Biden have kids we don’t know about? Because his three children with wife Dr. Jill Biden all appear to be, well, doing just fine. Way more than just fine.
Daughter Ashley, a social worker in the Delaware state bureaucracy, graduated from Tulane University and has a master’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania. She is married to an otolaryngologist/plastic surgeon at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals in Philadelphia. Along the way, Ashley’s husband also racked up a Ph.D. and snagged a slot as an assistant professor of otolaryngology/head and neck surgery and as a director of the Herbert Kean Center for Facial Aesthetics.
