President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden were the topic of rare scorn by Politico over their handling of their dogs that have actually consistently bitten several White House staffers.
Commander, the two-year-old German Shepherd that changed previous very first dog Major over aggressive habits, bit a tremendous 7 individuals in a four-month duration, according to internal Secret Service interactions obtained recently by the New York Post. An event from November 2022 resulted in a Secret Service officer being sent to the medical facility for treatment after being bitten in the arm and thigh.
On Friday, Politico senior editor Michael Schaffer penned a scathing piece entitled “Don’t Blame the Dog. Blame Joe Biden,” calling out how the firm “designated to take a bullet for the president end up taking a German Shepherd’s teeth rather.”

Schaffer concurred with the belief from one White House staffer who composed in an email “If it wasn’t their dog he would have already been put down – freaking clown requires a muzzle.”
“The representative might well be right,” Schaffer composed. “Pets aren’t expected to bite individuals, whether those individuals are visitors or postal providers or next-door neighbors walking past the backyard. Morally — and lawfully, too — it’s the owner’s job to make sure that this doesn’t occur… For routine folks, occurrences like the ones with Major and Commander would at the minimum result in an undesirable check out from animal control and a stern message: Get your dog under control.”

The Politico writer recommended the media protection towards this debate may have been “completely various” if it happened in another White House.
“Consider: The most effective family in the nation appeared to sit by as their dog consistently alarmed ratings of confidential individuals who work for them. The dog resides in the executive estate, with all the custodial staff who include it. He has access to all sorts of training programs, and, most likely, to doors with pet-proof locks. And yet a scared Secret Service representative needed to wield a chair like a lion-tamer to safeguard versus yet another bite,” Schaffer informed readers. “If Commander had actually come from, state, Nancy Reagan, the Marie Antoinette story would have composed itself: Look at that entitled elitist, smiling for the video cameras while her dog intimidates the help!“

They’re not plutocrats like the Trumps or intellectuals like the Obamas or aristocrats like the Bushes, all of whom may have been more seriously singed by a news cycle including their ill-behaved dog assaulting workers who then need to fret about the right method to submit injury documents,” he continued.

Schaffer made a dig at conservative “Biden opponents” who have actually kept up “complicated conspiracy-theory things” including claims of a tried cover-up of the biting occurrences within the White House, recommending they’re missing out on the larger image which “all of this represents some extremely insensitive habits by the first family.”
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}} “Having a dog that bites the staff isn’t corrupt. What it might well be is inconsiderate and entitled and careless. That’s not the things of impeachment, however it’s kinda poor all the exact same. Yet even Biden opponents can’t rather paint it that method,” Schaffer composed. “Like another surreal story of this summer season — Biden’s evident rejection to acknowledge his seventh grandchild, an out-of-wedlock child of Hunter Biden — it’s a case where the power of a long-established track record (Joe Biden, married man) faces truths recommending the contrary… Given the history of political family pets, it’s likewise just natural that this type of cognitive harshness would use to a story about a president’s dog.”

He later on included, “Commander is revealing the limitations of our canine politics. Loving their dog might reveal the Bidens’ just-folks tastes, and dealing with their dog’s habits might even make them relatable. But having a dog that resides in a public estate and gets to bite individuals once again and once again is proof that they’re not actually all that similar to us, after all. If your public image is focused around being Middle-Class Joe, that’s not a terrific appearance.”
