I don't know which reporter asked, dared really, Joe Biden yesterday if he were afraid of taking his oath outside but whoever it was she was either knowingly or merely stupidly daring him to risk the, we now know, very real possibility that by doing so he will be a target of a very credible assassination attempt, putting Kamala Harris and every other person who will be on that ceremonial balcony at risk, as well. While I think she was merely being massively stupid in the way of the DC press corps, I can't help shake the memory of those who challenged The Reverend Martin Luther King jr. to stay at a cheaper motel rather than a more secure one on the night he was assassinated.
I hope that Biden will realize the far more dangerous moment the country is in right now and opt for an indoor oath taking without any higher risk events surrounding his inauguration, considering the fact that we are in the midst of a pandemic which the Republican-fascists within the government are doing everything they can to spread EVEN AMONG MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH they should be excluded from any gathering.
If there is an attack on an outdoor swearing in, I hope that idiot reporter is grilled for possible collusion in it.
