Sleepy Joe?
More like ANGRY Joe!
A news reporter FINALLY asked Joe Biden about his son Hunter's email and laptop scandal.
It's been at least 3 to 4 days since the story first broke, yet the mainstream media has appeared to try to protect Joe Biden's campaign.
Well, the first reporter finally had the opportunity to ask Joe about his son.
And Joe lost it.
He snapped.
And it's all on video.
See the fiery exchange below:
Here's the interesting thing...
The reporter wasn't from a "conservative-leaning" news outlet.
The reporter was from CBS.
And Joe Biden has a habit of regularly answering questions from journalists he doesn't like... or from journalists who are perceived to be conservative.
So it's very interesting that he SNAPPED... and refused to answer the question.
Here's video of Joe answering a question from Fox News' Peter Doocy:
The funny part?
The media has appeared to cover up the Hunter Biden story.
But...
Joe Biden's angry response is going viral and is getting many people's attention.
The New York Post reports:
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden was finally asked about the explosive New York Post report that alleges emails show his son made millions trading on his father’s influence.
His response? “I have no response.”
After not being asked about the growing controversy surrounding Hunter Biden at the ABC News town hall by moderator George Stephanopoulos, the former vice president spoke to reporters outside his private jet Friday following his campaign events in Michigan. And when he was approached about the subject by CBS News reporter Bo Erickson, Biden went after the journalist.
“Mr. Biden, what is your response to the New York Post story about your son, sir?” Erickson asked.
“I know you’d ask it,” Biden fired back. “I have no response, it’s another smear campaign, right up your alley, those are the questions you always ask.”
The Biden 2020 presidential campaign previously responded to the Post story on Wednesday, saying the former vice president “carried out official U.S. policy toward Ukraine and engaged in no wrongdoing,” and that “Trump administration officials have attested to these facts under oath.”
The Post obtained a 2015 email indicating that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, thanked Hunter Biden for “giving an opportunity” to meet his father, who was then serving as vice president under Barack Obama.
The elder Biden has previously said he has “never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.”
The controversy further escalated after Facebook and Twitter began cracking down on the spreading of the article on social media.
Democrats and their allies in the media have called Donald Trump a "threat to freedom of the press" because of his ability to cut through their nonsense.
Will they accuse Biden of also being a danger?
He SNAPPED at a reporter who was simply trying to do their job!
Republicans get tough questions all the time.
If Joe Biden can't handle even 1 challenging question, how can we trust him to be the leader of the free world?
The Washington Examiner also confirms the outburst:
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden did not seem to appreciate being asked about the recent allegations regarding his son Hunter's work overseas and if his vice presidency played a role in it.
A CBS News reporter asked the former vice president for a response to the New York Post's piecemeal stories about Hunter Biden's business dealings on Friday night, to which Joe Biden answered, “I know you’d ask it. I have no response. It’s another smear campaign.”
The former vice president then took a shot at the reporter, adding, “Right up your alley, those are the questions you always ask.”
Earlier this week, the New York Post reported that the younger Biden set up a meeting between a senior official at the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, where he worked, and Joe Biden, during his vice presidency. The report, if accurate, would appear to contradict previous statements from the former vice president.
The Biden campaign has denied any official meeting took place, saying, "We have reviewed Joe Biden’s official schedules from the time and no meeting, as alleged by the New York Post, ever took place.”
[...]Giuliani has long sought to obtain dirt on the Bidens and played a key role in the situation that ultimately resulted in the president's impeachment in the House and acquittal in the Senate for urging Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate claims of corruption regarding the Bidens. There have been recent reports that the White House was warned in 2019 that Giuliani could be the target of a Russian disinformation campaign.
Giuliani was a staunch defender of Trump throughout the impeachment process and worked with Ukrainian lawmaker Andriy Derkach and others to push allegations that Joe Biden had abused his power in Ukraine. But Derkach, according to the U.S. Intelligence Community, "is spreading claims about corruption — including through publicizing leaked phone calls — to undermine" Biden. He has also been sanctioned by the Treasury Department.
There are still 2 weeks left in October.
Given how quickly 2020 has unraveled, is there still another October Surprise in store?
Time will tell!
