Has he shifted his position or am I wrong about him doubting Joe earlier?

They love to exaggerate or imply to support their narrative

is their repeated allusions to a pending decision when the President has repeatedly said he has already decided. This leads to confusion and frustration for many:

“Let Joe Biden continue to make his own decisions about his future. He’s earned that right,” Clyburn said on the “Today Show” on NBC. “If he decides to change his mind later on, then we will respond to that. We have until the 19th of August to open our convention.”


“Speaker Pelosi fully supports whatever President Biden decides to do. We must turn our attention to why this race is so important: Donald Trump would be a disaster for our country and our democracy,” spokesperson Ian Krager said.

The questions are horrible! I couldn’t watch the entire thing. Disgusting. 🤮

Good for Jim Clyburn for pushing back, but I would have been tempted to leave.

...I would have smacked the hell out of that dipshit if he asked me those sorts of idiotic questions.

"But congressman, but congressman, but congressman" -- @&^!%, but interviewer, accept my fucking answers. I'm sorry they don't further the narrative you are pushing so hard.

However, the interviewer was rude, kept interrupting Clyburn’s answers. It seemed like every answer Clyburn would start to answer he was interrupted with BUT BUT BUT!

Every single time. And you know what that is a technique to throw the other person off their game. Again rude and that interviewer should be ashamed of his conduct and learn some respect and manners.
