The Wall Street Journal’s opinion editor defended the publication’s recent article calling on Jill Biden, wife of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, to drop the “Dr.” honorific title, and accused Democrats of mounting a coordinated attack on the paper based on identity politics.

“There’s nothing like playing the race or gender card to stifle criticism,” Paul A. Gigot wrote in a Dec. 13 op-ed entitled “The Biden Team Strikes Back.” In the piece, Gigot questioned the motives of the Democrat response to a Dec. 11 op-ed by Joseph Epstein, who argued, “Jill Biden should think about dropping the honorific, which feels fraudulent, even comic.”
