Ron Klain, the White House chief of staff, drew mixed reactions on social media
late Sunday night when he retweeted a post that called 2021 not "all bad."




Klain, who is known to stir debate on Twitter, retweeted a column penned by
Albert Hunt, the former executive editor of Bloomberg News, which was published
in The Hill. The title was, "Let's Be Honest: 2021 Wasn't All Bad."

The White House official retweeted the post, writing, "A look back at 2021!"




Hunt's column was optimistic but acknowledged the many issues that the
administration faced. The coronavirus outbreak has been a challenge for every
world government. Hunt wrote that for some, the "most positive development"
could be the fact that Donald Trump is no longer residing at 1600 Pennsylvania
Ave.

Hunt said the "economy is humming" with an unemployment rate at 4.2 percent and
"total wages, including extra hours of work, are slightly outpacing inflation."
He also pointed out that the Biden administration has been "scandal-free,"
before comparing the Trump administration to the Corleone family in "The
Godfather," only "without the skill."



LIBERAL DEM URGES BIDEN TO USE EXECUTIVE ORDER TO REVIVE AGENDA

"The Biden team is more honest, also more competent," Hunt wrote.

He acknowledged that the withdrawal from Afghanistan "was painful" and
"politically costly" for Biden, but his contention is that-- after 20 years--
there was no chance that there was going to be a "good ending."

HARRIS FIRES BACK AT DEMOCRATS’ CLAIMS SHE’S BEING ‘SET UP TO FAIL’



Klain's retweet came at a precarious time for many Americans. Omicron infections
are raging in the country. The New York Times recently wrote that the new
variant "caught the White House off guard" and "cases have far outstripped the
government’s ability to make tests available."




Reuters pointed out that the U.S. has lost more lives to COVID-19 in 2021 than
in 2020. Klain did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox
News.

His tweet was embraced by Biden supporters who look at the president as a steady
leader after what they considered a reckless and cavalier approach to governing
by his predecessor. 

"A tough year with a very good president," one person responded.




Biden’s detractors have criticized the president’s response to the crisis on the
southern border and the fact that consumers have been facing the fastest
inflation in decades, according to Bloomberg.

They also call the withdrawal from Afghanistan a disaster. Sen. Bill Hagerty,
R-Tenn., told Fox News at the time that there was a "palpable frustration" with
Biden's handling of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and that foreign
leaders were "shocked" at the result.



Biden and his defenders have maintained that leaving Afghanistan was the only
option after Trump's negotiations with the Taliban. They also argue that there
was no way the withdrawal could have been handled well, and that the U.S. will
still be able to battle terror with "over the horizon" technology, including
manned aircraft and drones.




Matt Whitlock, a Republican communicator, retweeted Klain's post and wrote,
"Shoot for the stars."
