NBC’s Guthrie: Biden Governed to the Left, Not as a Centrist
Breitbart ^ | November 6, 2024 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 11/07/2024 4:26:24 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

On Wednesday’s broadcast of NBC’s “Today,” co-host Savannah Guthrie stated that President Joe Biden “had always been something of a centrist.” But he didn’t actually govern like one and “There was a sense that he was trying to do more than, perhaps, people had voted him into office to do.” And that Democrats constantly talk about identity politics. She also stated that people might not have expected Biden to run for re-election at first since he ran to be a transition figure.

Guthrie said, “Well, it’s also interesting, too, because Biden ran kind of — first of all, as a transitional figure. So, people weren’t expecting that he necessarily would run for a second term — but also, he had always been something of a centrist. But I don’t think he governed that way, right? There was a sense that he was trying to do more than, perhaps, people had voted him into office to do.”

NBC News Senior Washington Correspondent Hallie Jackson responded, “Yeah, more than people were comfortable with here.” And said that Vice President Kamala Harris tried to move to the center on issues like the border in the way Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) did.

Earlier in the segment, Guthrie said that Democrats are “always” talking about identity politics.

Savannah and Hallie are both easy on the eyes. That is the best thing about them.

Biden didn’t do anything other than nod in agreement and hold a pen.

People obviously aren’t interested in the left.

Lol name a single centrist policy Biden has stood for since he game to DC in 1972?

This is like saying the Stalinists were more centrists then the Maoists

Democrats come in 2 types. Obama/Biden/Clinton crafty evil. Harris/Walz/Newsome crazy evil.

Biden may have been a centrist in an earlier life but as “President in Name Only” he was never in control of his own destiny.
He was nothing more than a puppet for Obama, serving only to provide O with a third term to continue his pursuit of fundamentally changing America.
The Deep State did not count on Trump surviving, much less winning, the 2024 election.

The only thing Biden had to while holding office was to avoid tangling his puppet strings.

He didn’t govern as anything, he was a figurehead, those behind the scenes pulling his strings were Marxists.

Ditto for Obama, he was their puppet as well.

That's why they did not want to have a primary to replace Biden.

RFK Jr is not a Marxist. Same thing with Tulsi Gabbard.

Can't have that happen.

They'll rather lose. Then try again in 2028 with Gavin Newsom.

He kept Trump’s China tariffs.

He is an ambulance chasing lawyer.

That’s a huge defender of the Castro wannabe Venezuelan regime of Chavez\Maduro. Wants to jail energy CEOs just for being energy CEOs no even given them due process, jail people who criticize the Global Warming cult. Sounds pretty Marxist to me! (actually technically Fascist! That’s s different discussion!) He’s also has the Kennedy way with women!

All Biden did was smile, nod, and use his pen.
