I watched the “Beltway Boys” last evening and Barnes was anyhting but complimentary towards Biden.
My take is the panel is under orders not to seem biased in the slightest toward the libs. They want to maintain their Pew Research rating of actually being “fair and balanced”
Maybe I misunderstood Barnes. What I heard was he liked Biden personally, saying that a few times, but went on to say he opposed some positions.
