Miranda Devine writes for the New York Post about Democrats’ latest attempts to shift blame for their misdeeds.

As the world teeters on the edge of nuclear catastrophe, the Democrats are doing what they do best: projecting. 

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, opined Adam Schiff in Rolling Stone on Friday, “hammers home how despicable an act it was to treat Ukraine as a political plaything.” 

Well, yes, but treating Ukraine as a political plaything has been a reckless Democrat obsession for a long time, not least when Schiff, as chair of the House Intelligence Committee, led the impeachment of Donald Trump over a phone call to President Volodymr Zelensky. 

The hypocrisy makes me faint! 

Other Democrats were quoted peddling the same narrative. 

“I sense the first impeachment sounded kinda obscure to some people,” said Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii. “But withholding lethal aid was both an actual crime and a moral crime.” 

Except that Trump did send lethal aid to Ukraine, unlike the Obama-Biden administration, which sent blankets and goggles. 

And do Democrats really think Americans have forgotten Joe Biden’s boast that he withheld $1 billion in aid from the Ukrainians unless they fired the prosecutor who was investigating his son Hunter’s oligarch boss at the corrupt energy company Burisma. 

This was the scandal that Trump, in his clumsy fashion, was trying to get to the bottom of. He was impeached for pressing Zelensky to look into Biden’s quid pro quo. But Biden’s bullying of Ukraine was far more sinister and consequential. Trump got nothing. The Biden family got millions of dollars from Ukraine.

Biden was Obama’s point man in Ukraine, and often flew into Kyiv to deliver lectures about corruption, at the time his son was earning $83,333 on the Burisma board. …

… Frightening times. 

Yet the priority for the Democrat brains trust all weekend was to spin the war to their own political benefit.
