The father has no place in today’s Democratic Party

Published October 31, 2021 4:00am ET



In yet another desperate attempt to sell the public on his failing multitrillion-dollar spending agenda, President Joe Biden released a slideshow Thursday that inadvertently betrays how the modern Democratic Party views the family. And the news isn’t good for fathers, mothers, children, communities, or the nation.

In Biden’s slideshow, we meet a cartoon “Linda” from Peoria, Illinois. Linda, we are told, is pregnant with her son “Leo,” but we are never told where exactly Leo’s father is. We see one slide in which Linda and Leo benefit from Biden’s direct payments to parents. We see another slide that shows the government helping Linda pay to put Leo in daycare. And we see another slide in which Leo is placed in government-run pre-K. But again, at no point do we see Linda or Leo with the father. It is as if he doesn’t exist.
