For the record: “Let me be blunt — George Stephanopoulos’s failure to ask Joe Biden about this bombshell New York Post story is the most egregious example of journalistic malpractice that I have ever seen, and that’s a very competitive category these days.” —David Marcus

When Biden was finally asked about the report, he said, “I have no response. It’s another smear campaign. Right up your alley.” As Laura Ingraham notes: “This is how they get away with it. It’s a ‘smear campaign’ when there’s an email trail, but it’s good journalism when it’s suppositions set up by the deep state, as in [but fake Russian dossier].”

Friendly fire: “Are we really not supposed to care that the dumped emails in 2016 were, you know, real? Amazing how many members of the press currently spend their time worrying about preventing the public from accessing true information.” —Matt Taibbi

Non compos mentis: “We can do this; you can ban chokeholds. But beyond that you have to teach people how to de-escalate circumstances, de-escalate. So instead of anybody coming at you, and the first thing you do is shoot to kill, you shoot them in the leg.” —Joe Biden (There are numerous reasons why this is a terrible idea.)

And last… “Democrats interrupted Judge Barrett 78 TIMES. Zero cries of sexism or ‘mansplaining’ from the media.” —Ronna McDaniel
