You’ve just hit a bases loaded home run.
I want to amend my ‘home run’ though. I previously left open the possibility Biden spoke without being aware of the rammifications of his answer. However, since they don’t let Joe talk to the press about anything, including what he had for lunch, without scripting what he says there’s no way they ‘let’ him try to defend himself in his own words. I believe they coached him to make these exact statements to ensure the 25th.
