Why did President Biden decline a Super Bowl interview?
Today’s Super Bowl game could break last year’s record for the most-watched telecast in U.S. history. Why wouldn’t President Biden agree to participate in a pre-game interview, and take advantage of speaking to such a massive audience? Here is why I believe this is a big mistake:
And why the hell did his staff let him be ambushed by Republican, Hur, who was clearly out to belittle him. Was it the timid Garland who appointed Hur to do the interview and has screwed up on so many other issues? Garland would have been great on the Supreme Court but as Attorney General he seems ineffective and so slow to make decisions.
The unfair damage has been done. However, there is time to fight this. Bernie used to tell reporters to "follow me around some day". Biden should actually do that.
