House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is calling upon Joe Biden not to debate President Trump.
Pelosi claims she isn't casting aspersions on Biden's debating ability, but Trump's distant relationship with the truth. Yet she has not called upon Kamala Harris to refrain from debating Mike Pence.
She further argues that Biden shouldn't "legitimize a conversation" with Trump. Like it or not, Trump is President of the United States and to defeat him Biden must stand up to him. Lies must be confronted with the truth instead of being left unanswered.
Pelosi's intervention is unhelpful because it gives Trump ammunition that Democrats don't have confidence in Biden as has been demonstrated by supporters like Andrew Pollack, Sean Hannity and Dinesh D'Souza.
Joe Biden would be wise to ignore Pelosi and prepare for his first debate with Trump a little over a month from now. He must do this for his own sake and the sake of the country.
