Fox News host Jesse Watters ripped into Joe Biden for an embarrassing MSNBC interview in which the president needed cues from an aide; an aide interrupted to save Biden from a potentially divisive answer to a question.
Specifically, during the interview, MSNBC anchor Craig Melvin asked Biden about the supposed rise in hate crimes, gun violence, and attacks on women in America. However, before Biden could answer, a White House staffer interrupted, saying, “You can’t do that, sorry.”
Watch Watters skewer Biden here:
As can be seen in the video, thrashed the staffer’s handling of Biden and Biden’s acceptance of what the staffer said, saying, “Have you ever seen White House staffers jump in in the middle of an interview like that? The anchor was just rattling off a list of bad things happening under Joe Biden. Hate crimes on the rise, gun crimes on the rise, attacks on women on the rise. And the White House staffer said, you can’t do that, sorry. Can’t do what exactly? Ask the President of the United States a question about the country?”
Continuing, Watters alleged that the staffer’s telling Biden not to answer the question evidenced that someone else was in control of the Whtie House, saying, “Now, today I spoke with people who’ve been in the room during presidential sit-down interviews under Trump, under Obama, under Bush and a White House staff member cutting off a journalist in the middle of the question to the president is unheard of. What kind of corrupt arrangement are we witnessing here? And the staff couldn’t even save Biden. He went on to confuse Obama with Trump.”
Watters then asked how Biden is supposed to make it four more years in the White House if he can’t even make it through an interview, saying, “Are they trying to stop the question from being asked or are they trying to stop the president from answering it? I don’t know, and it happened twice during the interview. Later, staff tried to cut the president of the United States off from answering a question about Hunter Biden, and we’ll have more on that later in the show. If Biden can’t make it through an interview with MSNBC without help, how is he going to make it another four years?”
Joe Biden also said that Hunter has done nothing wrong in his MSNBC interview, saying, “First of all, my son’s done nothing wrong. I trust him. I have faith in him and it impacts my presidency by making me feel proud of him.”
That was in response to the question, “Sir, there is something personal that’s affecting you. Your son — while there [are] no ties to you — could be charged by your Department of Justice. How will that impact your presidency?”
