Pitching softballs to Joe Biden

Michael Reagan on Jan 20, 2022

Mr. President, nearly a million Americans have died from covid in two years. Do you still have confidence in the vaccine, Dr. Fauci and the CDC to get the virus under control?

Mr. President, you keep saying it’s a pandemic of the unvaxxed and that they are predominantly Republicans and Trump supporters. How can you say that when Blacks and Latinos are the least vaccinated ethnic groups?

This week the British government said because the threat of the omicron variant was rapidly diminishing it was ending all mask mandates and vaccine passports. Will America follow suit?

Mr. President, what do you think about the crime wave in the country and what will you ask the Department of Justice to do to help cities fight it?

Mr. President, inflation is soaring. High gas and food prices are hurting the poor and middle class. The supply chain is clogged up. Many grocery shelves are empty. Some say your policies are responsible. What do you say?

But at the end of the day, these and a dozen other hardball questions were never asked.

Even Doocy and Rosen played a game of softball with the president on Wednesday afternoon – T-ball, really. And like their liberal colleagues, they struck out.
