So here is a story I don't get. It's very common for people with a doctorate degree to go by 'DR.' This is very common in academics. Nothing strange about that at all. You can bet I would think it was ridiculous if Mrs. Trump had a doctorate and went by Dr. and the left was making fun of her. Well, that works both ways. I think this is kind of a petty partisan thing whether it was from the left or the right. This time it's from the right. Lots of things to report on about Biden and attack but one of them is not the fact that his wife goes by 'Dr.' IMO. And I don't see the whine in the article either.

Jill Biden Whines About People Making Fun of Her
In an interview with "comedian" Stephen Colbert, Jill Biden breaks silence about everyone's reaction to her "doctorate" degree.
"You once said in your own memoir, 'The role I always felt most at home in is Dr. Biden,'" began Colbert.
"Now, some people have recently taken upon themselves to question that title of yours. Do you have any reaction to those people?" he asked.
According to The Daily Wire, Colbert referred to a Saturday op-ed in The Wall Street Journal by Joseph Epstein's, "Is There a Doctor in the White House? Not if You Need an M.D."
Epstein is a former Northwestern University lecturer who also served as an editor of The American Scholar from 1975 to 1997. He argued that the former second lady, who obtained her doctorate in education in 2007 at the University of Delaware, should drop the "doctor" title.
"Yeah, that was such a surprise," replied Jill Biden.
"It was really the tone of it that I think that — you know, he called me 'kiddo.' One of the things I'm most proud of is my doctorate; I mean, I worked so hard for it. And, you know, Joe came when I defended my thesis."
Joe Biden interjected that he's proud of his wife having a doctorate. He said that Jill had two master's degrees yet, still keep going to school while teaching at night. He then suggested that she should get a doctorate and "make us some real money." Joe claimed that Jill got a $2,000 raise thereafter.
"But look at all the people who came out in support of me," continued Jill Biden. "I am so grateful. And I was just overwhelmed by how gracious people were toward me."
Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson was one of the people who unfavorably reacted to Jill Biden, comparing her to "Dr. Bill Cosby."
Carlson's comments came after the controversial op-ed written by Epstein. The former lecturer advised Jill to not go by "Dr." since she is a doctor of education and not of the medical profession.
The Fox News host echoed Epstein's assessment and mocked Jill Biden. Carlson said that Jill is "a doctor of education, which means basically nothing."
