Liberals blaming Republicans for Ukraine war is act of desperation

 Fox News:

American pundits and liberal journalists have bent over backward to compare Ukrainians getting bombed and killed during Russia’s ongoing attack to the plight of Americans under Republican rule.

Ukraine has been devastated since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion that has resulted in civilian deaths, destruction of cities and over 1.7 million refugees as women and children attempt to flee the war-torn nation. While Ukrainians are fighting for their lives, some pundits have been equating literal war to things such as voting rights and the Jan 6 Capitol riot.

"This is a disservice to the American tradition of productive debate, and it is a disservice to the Ukrainian people who would gladly trade their problem for ours," Hallberg said.

"This is an attempt by the far left to continue with the faulty narrative that our democracy is under attack. They make these comparisons because there are little to no Biden administration victories to highlight, so they are trying to win midterms by keeping Jan. 6 and voting laws in the news," Hallberg added. "But it will be to their own detriment as the American people see very clearly what war is and what it isn’t."

While the American people might realize the difference between war and liberal talking points, many members of the corporate media haven’t gotten the message.

MSNBC anchors appeared particularly peeved that Biden didn’t tie Russia’s ruthless invasion of Ukraine to what the liberal network considers threats to American democracy.

Joy Reid said Biden had an opportunity to "take a really solid hit at Republicans for having supported Vladimir Putin," but whiffed on the chance.

"He did not mention the January 6 insurrection," Reid added. "If you want to talk about a profound hit to our democracy, there’s nothing more profound than a violent physical attack on the very building he's standing in. That did not make it into the speech, I found that interesting."

"There are critics, including Democrats, some really wanted him to tie the fight for democracy in Ukraine to the voting rights struggles and the challenges with American democracy here at home. He did not do that," correspondent Yamiche Alcindor said.

Democrats are at war with voter integrity measures and making bogus comparisons to real war.  It is an absurd argument but appears to be all they got to cover for the incompetence of the Biden administration.  No legitimate voter will be blocked from voting by the voter integrity measures.  It will be hard for Democrats to manufacture votes and stuff drop boxes, but that is a good thing for democracy.  What Democrats want is the ability to thwart real democracy.  It is more evidence of how biased much of the mainstream media is.
