It was for your own good. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce coordinated with a bevy of left-wing activists, unions, and others to “fortify” the 2020 election for Joe Biden. The Chamber is getting the open borders it wants and the soft-on-China policy it wants, all to the detriment of working families. Of course, in the Time recounting of a year-long initiative that pulled every lever of power in the country, the Chamber’s motives were pure, to ensure a fair and unquestionable election.

Newly-minted Chamber CEO Suzanne Clark is talking about the importance of getting help to businesses and families who need it. She served as president of the organization during the 2020 election, so it is not as if she is unaware of its activities. Still, her sympathy for struggling families is just touching. And, of course, we need to get the children back in school.
Take it with a grain of salt. The Chamber partnered with the AFL-CIO in…
