He’s also given multiple interviews with his eyes down, clearly relying on prepared notes in his lap. ” he told an NBC Miami reporter - obviously just reading the talking points he was handed in advance. He’s not even answering reporters’ questions off the cuff: “Look, Venezuela topline message is. A video clip from a virtual AFL-CIO event posted by the Trump campaign on Twitter shows Biden telling someone in the background to 'move it.
Time and again, teleprompter troubles have exposed the fact that Biden is just reading his lines in what his campaign pretends are real conversations with supporters, like Pennsylvania Gov. Some people are wondering whether former Vice President Joe Biden used a teleprompter that was preloaded with responses to answer questions during a recent campaign event, The Sara Carter Show reports. His aides won’t even discuss the elephant in the room.Īfter the AFL-CIO footage made the rounds, Fox News’ Bret Baier put the obvious question to TJ Ducklo, the campaign’s national press secretary: “Has Joe Biden ever used a teleprompter during local interviews or to answer Q&As with supporters?”ĭucklo ducked the question - repeatedly, before finally saying, “I am not going to allow the Trump campaign to funnel their questions through Fox News and get me to respond to that.” Baier asked him, has Joe Biden ever used a teleprompter during local interviews or to answer Q&A with reporters'. (Why an experienced politician with a top-notch staff keeps having this trouble is also worrisome.)Īnyway, after the pause, Joe launched into his “off the cuff” response - which was utter boilerplate: “You know, there used to be a basic bargain in this country, that workers shared in the wealth they helped create.” It’s beyond appalling that Biden would need reminding of that trope. Thing 1/Thing 2: Donald Trump's latest teleprompter mistake included referring to the sacrifices parents made for the furniture - that is, the future - of their children. During the Fox interview Biden spokesman TJ Ducklo was asked repeatedly for a simple ‘yes or’ about the prompter use. Obsessive scripting is the only explanation for what happened at last week’s Biden question-and-answer session with AFL-CIO union members, when the candidate responded to a young barista’s query with the non sequitur, “Move it up here” - then paused.Īnyone who’s been following Biden’s travails recognizes those words as a cue to his aides to jog the teleprompter, as he’s done time and again in recent weeks. Wow: Joe Biden’s staff won’t even let him do a “spontaneous” Q&A session without a script.
