CNN’s Biden Town Hall
CNN decided to skip the Cuomo nursing home scandal and the resignation of T.J. Ducklo a top aide on Biden’s communications staff.
Cuomo was continually praised for his handling of the coronavirus by Biden despite killing countless nursing home patients. Biden also made this promise about his staffers: “I’m not joking when I say this: If you’re ever working with me and I hear you treat another with disrespect, talking down to someone, I will fire you on the spot. On the spot. No ifs, ands, or buts.”
When staffer T.J. Ducklo verbally assaulted a Politico reporter nothing happened until three weeks after Politico brought it to the administration’s attention.
Even worse, Ducklo was only placed on leave for one week, and Politico was punished by losing access to the deputy press secretary. Ducklo finally resigned after attention grew, but Biden never fired him, like promised.
Instead, CNN asked Biden about his handling of the coronavirus if he agreed with Pelosi’s assessment that GOP Senators who voted to acquit were “cowards,” and what life in the White House is like.
