Biden Fails to Congratulate Argentina’s New President, Libertarian Javier Milei

Joe Biden has always been Johnny-on-the-spot whenever a radical leftist has gotten elected in Latin America.

But for Argentina’s new president, elected by a ten-point-plus margin?

Crickets.

He’s said nothing at all to Javier Milei, Argentina’s first libertarian president, on his quite truly historic victory in an undoubtedly free and fair election, with 30 million hand-counted ballots, their validity approved by both parties and delivered on election night, that made Milei president. He could have congratuated just the election if he couldn’t stand Milei, which we know he can’t as a fair-minded formality, but of course, he didn’t. The White House web site is bereft of any pretense of congratulations from hoary old Joe.
