Joe Biden Delivers a Mess of a 60 Minutes Interview, Leaves His Handlers Scrambling
By Bonchie | 10:15 PM on September 18, 2022

Joe Biden appeared on 60 Minutes on Sunday evening, and it was an absolute disaster of an interview. As I type this, stories are already coming out about how he blindsided officials in his administration and how his handlers are scrambling to clean up the mess.

In fact, within an hour of the interview premiering, the first clarification had already dropped regarding comments the president made about defending Taiwan from a Chinese attack. That was the second time in the last few months that the administration has had to walk back Biden’s comments on the subject.

Things didn’t get better as the topics changed. When asked about inflation, Biden gave perhaps the worst answer imaginable.

When it comes to bad economic news, there are two ways to handle it as a president. The right way is to admit the truth and then lay out a quantifiable plan for how to improve things. Americans are very forgiving of politicians who speak plainly to them. On the other hand, the wrong way is to simply pretend like everything is actually great and that anyone who doesn’t think so is an idiot. Guess which strategy Biden has chosen?

The dismissive snark about an 8.3 inflation rate that is crushing the poor and middle-class is just astonishing to witness. His skin is so thin you can see straight through it, and while I know Biden doesn’t have to live with any of the consequences of his policies, you’d think he could at least fake it a little. Besides, his excuse doesn’t even make sense. Who cares if the rate only went up “an inch” if the overall rate is still sky-high? Core inflation continues to rise, mainly driven by food and housing (including rent) prices.

But if that exchange wasn’t bad enough, Biden decided to declare that “the pandemic is over” regarding the coronavirus.

That Disastrous Biden Interview Got Even Worse - Despite WH Efforts to Clean It Up
By Nick Arama | 8:00 AM on September 19, 2022

As we reported earlier, 60 Minutes had a disastrous interview during which he lied about inflation not really going up, declared the pandemic over (which is going to infuriate people on the left), and said in response to questions about his fitness that people should just “watch him” if they want to judge. Indeed, that’s been the problem — we have been watching him and that’s why we think he is unfit for office. Because we see what he is saying and doing every day, including things like this interview that show why he is unfit.

The White House immediately rushed out to clarify Biden’s comments about Taiwan — he said that U.S. troops would defend Taiwan if China attacked.

Biden and his staff still can’t get what their policy is straight; this is the second time he’s done this.

But that wasn’t all of the bad moments in the interview — it got even worse.

Here was Biden saying it wasn’t until President Donald Trump that politics were made about “personal attacks.”

My inflation meter is a measure of "what do I need at the grocery store today?" and I've watched as prices on the things I need on a regular basis skyrocketed.

Prices did go up overnight, Joe. Carrots went up 25% overnight. Mr. M's beloved frozen waffles (store brand) went up 50% overnight. Most meats went up 25%  - you guessed it - overnight. I have not seen a single item where the price rose in tiny 1% per month increments.

President Dimentia just gave GOP a treasure trove of Biden sounds bites to use against Dems.

The man may be senile, but he doesn't know it. He just keep up with the punk-a** mob boss routine.

Don't like him as President? He's just gonna punch you in the face, and send out some F-15's and nukes, cuz he's a tough guy. He doesn't have to do anything, and he doesn't owe you anything, you just do what you're told.

This guy is the most incompetent boob dictator wannabe I've ever seen.
