Jennifer Rubin is an American neoconservative[2] journalist[3] who writes the "Right Turn" blog for The Washington Post. Previously she worked at Commentary, PJ Media, Human Events, and The Weekly Standard.

Aren’t there any non right wing sources for this speech?

But either way, why can’t you assess her comments as they stand? Because it sure looks like you’re attacking her because you don’t like someone saying something good about Biden.

I am perfectly ok that she highlighted and applauded Biden's speech. Maybe she will pull in the conservative Surburban soccer moms in swing states that are not warm toward Trump but always vote for the republican, to vote for the democrat instead to help right the country.
