Biden campaign apologizes after virtual town hall interrupted by technical difficulties, gaffes
Washington Examiner ^ | March 14,2020 | Andrew Mark Miller

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign issued an apology after his first-ever virtual town hall was interrupted multiple times by “technical difficulties" and perceived gaffes.

“Tonight, you tuned in to our first ever virtual town hall. And unfortunately, we had some technical difficulties. That’s our bad,” his campaign explained.

“We’re working every day to make this campaign better. And in this new era, we are experimenting with new technology. We promise to do better next time.”

The campaign also posted an edited version online.

The town hall, which was held online due to fears about the coronavirus, was widely panned by news media and social media users.

The Verge labeled the event as a “technical nightmare,” and Fox News’s headline read, “Plug pulled on Biden 'virtual town hall' after technical glitches, miscues.”

A CNN Twitter post describes the event as a “technical calamity.”

Liberal activist and political consultant Jordan Uhl referred to Biden’s performance in general as “bizarre.”

“In a bizarre, meandering livestream put on by Joe Biden's campaign today, he forgets what year it is and when, if he doesn't lose, he would be in office,” Uhl said on Twitter. "At another point, he seemingly forgets he's on a live stream and walks out of frame. The feed cuts away to a logo instead."

It was absolutely hilarious! This guy and his team are the Washington Generals to Trump’s Harlem Globetrotters.

It started out well but the longer Biden was on the more lost he became.

When he forgot he was on the air and wandered off, well that was just sad.

I’m looking forward to the battle of the geezers debate between Slow Joe and Politburo Bernie. It will be the first presidential debate in history where the two candidates will be hooked up to ventilators rather than microphones

It’s particularly funny that it seems Biden thinks he is totally lucid and on target and his mannerisms and follow through helps drive this home. He says something totally disjointed, but he has a smile and confidence through it all while methodically speaking his nonsense words.

If you could see a competent politician from a South American country, but didn’t know Spanish, you would perceive the speaker was on his game, with the way he looked around and at you. This is Biden, with what he thinks is English.

Biden has the audacity to criticize Trump's handling of the Coronavirus but he cannot manage a simple livestream. That is, his people can't. The old fool is a technical midget, he can barely use a telephone.
