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."

Who’s the idiot who decided that he needs to be in front of a camera?

“It started out well but the longer Biden was on the more lost he became.”
The Dems must be putting this poor lost schmuk through these paces so they can easily dump him - for cause - when the DNC is ready to bring out the real Pres & VP candidates.

Being so bored at home hiding from the flu crap I might have to actually watch a Democrat debate to get a few laughs.

The Biden campaign’s technical failures are colossal.
It’s a failure of planning, leadership and execution.

”The campaign also posted an edited version online.“

How convenient. I’m sure this will be flagged as ‘manipulated media’ by the high-tech handwringers who are looking out misinformation and maintaining journalistic standards... 🙄

"Biden has the audacity to criticize Trump's handling of the Coronavirus"

It's worse than that. EVERY SINGLE THING in Biden's coronavirus plan was plagiarized from Trump...and Trump began implementing a lot of it in January!

I don’t believe there were any technical glitches. I think they canned the live stream because it was obvious to anyone watching that Biden is losing cabin pressure.

Yep. I finally caved in and purchased my “Angry Joe” AR14, Dog-faced pony soldier” lower receiver today from Palmetto State Armory. 8-10 week delivery and only 5000 to be manufactured. Torn between just holding onto it “as is” for a collector item or actually doing a build with it...we’ll see when it gets here.

Joe can memorize lines. I’ve seen it.

If they ask him to freelance, he starts talking about naked women walking in the room, his incarceration in Africa, and how he taught Corn-Pop a powerful lesson.

You should watch. Biden might call Bernie a Pygmy warrior, there’s no telling.

That’s our bad

God help us. I hate the left for all it is but the opposition needs to be competent and not a bunch of children because it is a certainty that they will regain the presidency eventually because the GOP is going to give it right back.

I didn’t realize that a Presidential candidate who wanders aimlessly away from the podium, and goes off-screen, while conducting a town hall meeting was considered a glitch.
