Did anyone just catch this? I know CNN blah blah but Jake Tapper just completely exposed Biden’s deputy campaign chief Kate Bedingfield over court packing. He kept pressing her over the issue, saying it was progressive democrats who started the controversy. Didn’t let her snake her way out by blaming Republicans and called her out for Biden being against court packing the past 40 years but silent now. It was amazing to watch and I can’t believe CNN just aired that Biden hack job. Please someone find a link.

Tapper will sometimes find a shred of integrity.

quote:

CNN's Jake Tapper pushed a top Biden staffer on why the Democratic nominee isn't directly answering whether he supports adding justices to the Supreme Court. In a Sunday interview with campaign spokeswoman Kate Bedingfield, Tapper played tapes of Joe Biden opposing the idea of court packing throughout his long political career in the Senate, then last year on the campaign trail. Tapper particularly pressed on Biden's recent comments, saying voters didn't deserve to know his position on the idea, and that he would give his opinion on adding justices after the Nov. 3 election. "It's a simple question, and it’s one, frankly, that Trump did not invent," Tapper said on his show, State of the Union. "It came from the progressives in the Democratic Party, and I thought it was odd when Vice President Biden said the other day in response to a reporter’s question that voters do not deserve an answer on this. Of course, voters deserve an answer on his position. On every issue."

XiNN knows what's coming with Trumps re-election and they have to reclaim a shred of integrity.

The condescending tone of her non answer saying Biden has answered the question.

Not sure but the return of a throwback CNN that at least made an effort to appear somewhat balanced would be welcomed.

It is a long game.

CNN believes Biden will win.

They are taking the approach on the subject of It is Constitutional for the Republicans to place ACB on the court, because it is.

If Biden does win, CNN will take the position that packing the court is constitutional, because it is.

Rapper knows it’s safe to question a campaign manager, but he would never challenge Joe or Harris directly.

That was the most objective that CNN has been in years.

CNN sees the writing on the walls, Trump is going to win so they are backing off a little to appear a little more reasonable going forward

This has not been a banner week for the women of the Biden campaign.

At some point Biden will come out against court packing.

They are just deciding on the timing of it.

He's going to do it as some time of maximum exposure.

He will say....I NEVER said I supported court packing. I Never said such a thing. Trump is lying again. I'm against it.

If elected,.he can just change his mind.

The people interested in court packing are going to vote for Biden no matter what.

Sounds crazy, but expect more of this from CNN. Brilliant financial guy I follow on Twitter tweeted this a week ago:

Just because they call out the obvious...They are only doing this so the dems change up because the Biden campaign is a hot mess on messaging.
