Joe Being Joe: Biden Finally Does Presser, Awkwardly Only Takes Questions From Pre-Approved List of Reporters
RedState ^ | July 29, 2020 | Mike Miller

Posted on 07/29/2020 10:30:18 AM PDT by sickoflibs

The good news: After 28 days, presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden finally held a news conference on Tuesday. The bad news: He only took questions from a pre-approved list of reporters.

After opening comments, Biden wearily looked around the room as he took the list from his coat pocket. “I’m happy to take your questions,” he said; “Let me get my list.” (He looked anything but happy.)

“I’m supposed to call on people,” he said at one point, again referring to the trusty list — no doubt provided by a breath-holding staffer.

GOP Rapid Response Director Steve Guest tweeted a short video clip of Biden pulling the list from his coat pocket and studying it for a few seconds. “Joe looks a little rusty in understanding how press conferences work,” he said. (See: “understatement.”)

Joe Biden has gone 28 days without holding a press conference.
He's finally taking questions.
“I'm happy to take your questions. Let me get my list here.”
Joe Biden sounds a little rusty in understanding how press conferences work.

So the questions came. Oh, those hard-hitting questions.

Yup, the soon-to-be Democrat presidential nominee was “drilled” with some pretty hardcore Pulitzer-worthy stuff, as White House Press Secretary Kayleigh MacEnany — who is shredded by the TDS-riddled “mainstream” media on a daily basis — wryly mocked.

“Shredders” they were not.

Kayleigh McEnany
Speaking as someone who often takes tough questions, the questions Biden receives are an embarrassment to journalism...
-Are you running against realDonaldTrump or for President?
-Where do you think the race stands?
-Why Delaware?
-Walks off to applause. MUST BE NICE!

I suffered through all of it that Fox covered.

What a mess!

Do Demonrats think this was a good idea after watching it?

Joe was PATHETIC! I (almost) felt sorry for him. /s

He was all over the map, especially Florida. He went from Tallahassee to Jacksonville in a flash after the reporter corrected him.

He rambled on about nothing the whole time. I guess they wanted to prove that Joe could give long non-answers to short questions.

They bring him “out of the basement” FOR THIS! A non-presser just outside of his basement?

Anyone watching will see for themselves why President Trump calls him “Slow Joe”.

You made some good poInts. Perhaps I should have said instead that Biden is not as evil as Hillary.

There's something very familiar about this story. My Google-Fu isn't strong enough to find it, but I recall reading just about the same thing, including Joe's quote about the list, about a month ago.

Aha, my Google-Fu pevails! Video clip posted June 30, 2020:

If anyone has not seen this Biden campaign 1988 video, please give it a look:

Before he was senile, he was a liar’s liar—a pure sociopath.

In 1988 the mass media did its job—and destroyed him.

Thanks for the commentary... a canned event for the basement dweller. Does he get to consult cue cards as he's talking to Putin or Erdogan? Biden is taking the teleprompter to a new level of de-personalization. He's a great fit for Covid-19.

The press corps has been paid off by Biden's partner in crime: the Chicoms.

That’s the 2nd time he’s done the list when taking questions from friendly reporters.

His press handler obviously requires reporters to submit questions in advance so they can select certain ones and provide Joe with the replies he has to give.

LOL!

It’s just silly for the media to try to hide that they are collaborators with the Dems.

Agree. ...I’ve posted here on FR a similar message many times for many months. .........No one in the media or GOP has expressed any thoughts about vetting Harris’ eligibility.
