Really Kristen Welker?

asking the president if he is satisfied with the job the vice-president is doing and will she remain his running mate in the next election. So Ms. Saturday Today Show Welker has joined the effort to dismiss our wonderful vice president. I never liked her and now for sure I consider her a slip shod reporter looking for a hit. Craig Melvin the the same thing to VP Harris' face when he recently interviewed her.

Start at 1:09. Do a bit of research on other Prez’s, not just the Orange Buffoon.

Plenty more where that came from.

...the Vice President the other day on the Today Show regarding the COVID tests,

" They've been ordered. They've been ordered,' she said. Interviewer Craig Melvin pushed her for more information. 'I have to look at the current information. I think it's going to be by next week. But soon. Absolutely soon. And it is a matter of urgency for us,' she said. "

" 'Should we have done that sooner?' Melvin asked her. 'We are doing it,' Harris replied.

'But should we have done it sooner,' he pressed again. 'We are doing it,' Harris responded. "

...showed me what he was about...

Can’t the decorum be more professional? Shouting over each other to ask a question that’s not even relevant is not a good look for them.. shows disrespect, imo

Hearing her question and the reporting like Biden is a total failure, and the two rural PA so called prior Democrats saying our knowledgeable, capable, caring and decent man is failing them? While the truth is, is that Supply chain issues, world oil prices rising and inflation are not Biden’s fault. It’s what he inherited after the effects of the pandemic the last two years. How dumb can they be?

Are they so stupid to not realize the president is not the the Aladdin genie who can snap his fingers to make it so? I shudder to think where we’d be if assolini got re elected. I guess the average voter is low information and can only see the surface and doesn’t want to analyze it more to see the reasons. Because of them we could lose our democracy.

We are Fu€Ked then.

Push the narrative that the Democrats can't win.

Cover for Republicans and push either "what aboutism" or "both sides-ism." Or use that weasel word "some people may think. . ."

The news media in this country is a damned joke.
