Biden supporters aren't motivated by a desire to see him in the WH so much as they are committed to seeing Trump removed from it. As such any Biden flaw even fatal ones in other circumstances is not just overlooked no matter how well supported by facts the idea of investigation prompts attacks from the faithful.
Quote:
One columnist declared that former Vice President Joe Biden could boil babies and she would still vote for him. Feminist leaders have said they believe Biden raped a Senate staffer but they still endorse him. Good government advocates have opposed any investigation into prior sexual harassment or corruption claims against Biden. It seems politicians and pundits alike have discovered the glory of the “Presidential Bull.” In this instance, Biden is akin to a papal indulgence that allows writers, members of Congress and journalists to forgive any sin in a holy crusade to retake Washington.

How appropriate the term papal bull has been adapted to the shield erected by the Resistance and so-called media investigators. Now it's a Presidential bull protecting Biden but it's bull nonetheless.
If the insistence that we skip investigating Biden for allegations of sexual assault and get on with the coronation was extreme, read on.
Quote:
Now the 2020 election has become the ultimate crusade, and President Trump’s critics seem to be enjoying indulgences in tossing aside moral and ethical considerations. The freedom that is Biden is nowhere more evident than in a recent column by The Nation’s Katha Pollitt, who wrote about the allegations of sexual assault made by former Biden staffer Tara Reade. Pollitt dispensed with any struggle over feminist or moral qualms, declaring, “I would vote for Joe Biden if he boiled babies and ate them.”

That's right, Joe Biden could literally indulge in canablism without losing support. But the indulgence is not limited to eating babies. Any pretense of moral conviction is discarded.
Quote:
Women’s rights attorney Lisa Bloom said she believes Biden did rape a female staffer and has lied about it publicly but she still will endorse him for president. She tweeted, “I believe you, Tara Reade ... sorry.” To use Pollitt’s language, defending a rape victim is now a “luxury.” Likewise, Linda Hirshman wrote an opinion piece in the New York Times entitled, “I Believe Tara Reade. I’m Voting for Joe Biden Anyway.” She explained. “Democratic primary voters knew all about Mr. Biden’s membership in that boys’ club when there was still time to pick someone else. Alas … I’ll take one for the team. I believe Ms. Reade, and I’ll vote for Mr. Biden this fall.”

The article goes on to detail the many others discarding their supposedly cherished ideals for Resistance zealotry.
