Democracy vs hypocrisy: Biden’s ‘Summit for Democracy’ | The Bottom Line
Summit for
Democracy:Biden's Summit for Hypocrisy!
US President Joe Biden had been in office for a few days when
he announced that he would hold a virtual "Summit for
Democracy" to "push back authoritarianism's advance"
worldwide.
But after the world watched the disregard for rule of law,
expansion of executive power and mistrust of elections spread
throughout the United States, the question is: What moral
authority does Washington have to lecture the rest of the world
about democracy?
Host Steve Clemons speaks with former US diplomat Daniel
Fried, Foreign Policy magazine columnist Elise Labott, and
Progressive International Coordinator David Adler about the
prospects for the summit.
