This douchebag, Ron Klain.
New York Times profiles Biden’s inner circle, omits Ron Klain’s lobbying work
Being a lobbyist for failed housing giant Fannie Mae seems like a relevant resume item for an intimate adviser of the president.
Yet somehow, in a 2,500-word profile on Biden insiders the New York Times brands as “the strategist, the guru, and the confidant,” the word “lobbyist” never appears. Nor does the article discuss Ron Klain’s past as a lobbyist.
Klain, “the strategist,” is described as the man who keeps President Joe Biden focused and prepares him for debates. Here’s the New York Times’s treatment of Klain’s pre-Biden past:
“He was not always by Mr. Biden’s side. … Mr. Klain was briefly chief of staff for Vice President Al Gore and oversaw the recount effort in Florida in 2000. (He was later portrayed in a movie by Kevin Spacey.) He was involved in John Kerry’s 2004 campaign and spent some years as an adviser to Steve Case, a founder of AOL.”
Omitted from this biography: Klain was a corporate lobbyist at O’Melveny & Myers for years.
