Excuse Me: Did You Hear What This CNN Host Said About Biden and the Debate Questions?
Matt Vespa
~3 minutes

The media is aghast, panicked, and shell-shocked over Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance, which might have been the final nail in the coffin of the Biden 2024 campaign. It was a painful 90 minutes where Joe Biden seemed aloof, mentally slow, and incapable of defending his agenda or attacking Trump. In short, everything we’ve been saying about the president regarding his physical and mental health was showcased for the entire nation. There’s no selective editing here—this is Joe.

Maybe I’m overthinking this, but many on social media clipped this bit from CNN host Erin Burnett. It seemed as if she was inadvertently admitting that the Biden camp was fed the debate questions beforehand from someone.

“He knows every one of these questions is coming, and yet he couldn‘t fill the time,” said Burnett

To quote Biden, “Here’s the deal,” this has happened before. In 2016, then-CNN commentator Donna Brazile was busted for feeding Hillary Clinton’s campaign debate questions (via The Federalist):

    As a second leaked email showed Donna Brazile sliding debate questions to the Hillary Clinton campaign, on Monday CNN announced it had cut ties with the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee October 14. That cut had taken place a few days after the first leaked email revealed Brazile had given Clinton intel on questions that would be asked at a town hall.

    Brazile’s contract with CNN had been suspended since July when yet another set of leaked emails had implicated the previous Democratic National Committeewoman in an election-rigging scheme to ensure Hillary Clinton won the Democratic primary. Brazile had continued as a contributor, however.

Far be it from me to defend anyone at CNN, but that is not an admission that CNN fronted the questions to Bidens people.  A rational person would understand she was saying that Biden was prepped on all the questions "they" knew he would be asked from reading the polls and all the other hot topic items Joe was getting roasted on.

i.e...

Pedo Joe failed an Open Book Test.

If Biden got the Teacher's Edition with the answer key, that makes last night's Biden performance all the worse.

Imagine getting all the answers in advance, and still flunking the test.

Yes, that's the way I heard it, too.
Much like the J6 question to Trump. He definitely didn't get the questions in advance from CNN, but he absolutely knew that question was coming.

This is correct.  It's a stretch to say she admitted CNN gave Shortbus Joe the questions in advance.  I hear her saying Biteme should not have been surprised.

Also true:  CNN likely did give Biteme the questions in advance.

The media and Democrats are so incestuous that there's no need to "give" the White House the questions. The questions just quietly migrated through the bedrooms of those in power to those who wanted them.

Any competent counsel would be able to anticipate the prosecution's angles of attack and prepare that witness for testimony. IIRC, the whole Biden family is lousy with lawyers. The DNC is lousy with lawyers. With the issues all over the media and social media, there is no way they should not have had al bases covered. Maybe they got the 'appearance meds' wrong, maybe they somehow thought he could go the distance (instead of mumbling a few lines and being steered away from the podium as usual), or maybe this was an unveiling to swap candidates before the election.
