Doggett slams Biden: Sexism & Slightsgalore!

Doggett's call for Biden to resign is an egregious display of disloyalty. It is a stunt that undermines our democratically elected president and the will of the people. The congressman's actions warrant scrutiny and accountability. We demand better from our representatives!

Lloyd Doggett, a Texas Democrat, publicly asked President Biden to withdraw from the presidential ticket. In doing so, he embarrassed the leader of his own party.

"Being the first congressional Democrat to publicly ask Biden to quit may be 77-year-old Doggett's last opportunity for a footnote in history. It's his last chance for relevancy, even if it's for a despicable act of disloyalty."
Rand Nolen, Houston

This is a political stunt, and a deplorable one at that. If Biden decides to step down or loses, this will be seen as a desperate move by Doggett to leave his mark on history. It is a disgraceful display of disloyalty and an embarrassment to the Democratic party.

The Texas Democratic delegation should condemn this statement and stand by Biden, who has dedicated his life to serving our country and has achieved greatness.
