Joe Biden's National Press Secretary, TJ Ducklo, just gave a trainwreck of an interview on Fox News - where he shifted between anti-Trump talking points and backpedaling defensively over simple questions, such as Biden's reliance on teleprompters and what the former VP would have done better than Trump in terms of the national response to COVID-19.
Perhaps the most jaw-dropping moment was when host Bret Baier asked Ducklo a simple question over Joe Biden's use of teleprompters that goes back to at least July:
"Has Joe Biden ever used a teleprompter during local interviews, or to answer Q&A with supporters?" asked Baier, to which Ducklo launched into a defensive tirade - accusing Baier of parroting Trump campaign talking points, and "trying to distract the American people."
Baier asked two more times to "answer the question," while Ducklo deflected - scolding the host and accusing the network of 'funneling Trump campaign questions.'

Bret Baier just asked Biden's National Press Sec a simple yes or no question:
Has Joe Biden ever used a teleprompter during a TV interview?
TJ Ducklo refused to answer and instead had a meltdown. Disaster of an interview for the Biden campaign.

Ducklo has been answering questions over Biden's teleprompter use since at least July - when he said the notion that the former VP is using them to answer questions is "laughable, ludicrous, and a lie."
Yet, here he is earlier in the week doing just that:
Last week, Biden read teleprompter cues on multiple occasions.

Biden just pulled another Ron Burgundy moment by reading the words “end of quote” out loud from the teleprompter.

Earlier in the interview with Ducklo, Baier asked what Biden would have done differently in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic - since a new campaign talking point is that President Trump mishandled the virus, the Biden spox went into defensive overdrive - robotically barking anti-Trump talking points without actually answering the question.

OMG! Absolutely amazing. I can't believe he flubbed it that bad and read "end of quote" out loud.
If Biden were to occupy the Oval Office it would be curtains for the rest of us, and that crazy "woman of color" would really be in charge. :-/

I gave up the network news years ago, and the local COVID-obsessed news is just as stupid.
Even the local weather dude I used to check in with from time to time broadcasting apologetically from his basement is impossible to watch.
I'm tempted to say something like "jackass nation" when I stop and consider that the jackass is an estimable and worthy creature in many ways unlike the clowns I see dancing around on the silver screen.

That must be similar to the lead Hillary had in 2016. You remember she won the popular vote, but lost the Electoral College. ;)

Those are the infamous ghost voters in Chicago. I would imagine there are plenty of them around. :-/
