President Biden.
'How in the hell dare he': Biden strikes defiant tone about special counsel report
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/biden-national-address-special-counsel-report-rcna138031
He also specifically called out Fox News' Peter Doucy in the Q&A. He said, "My memory is failing because I called on you."

(28,836 posts)The timing isn't a coincidence. They got him right out there to make the report look petty, personal, and questionable. All of which is true.
As an aside, his response team did a great job in the 2020 campaign and I have no doubt they'll continue that this cycle.

(5,410 posts)note his recent response to the border issue, and laying it at the feet of the Republicans who killed the bill!
THIS is PRESIDENT "FIGHTING JOE" BIDEN hitting the trail!
I am hoping that a way will be figured out to OWN the Republicans
at the State of the Union speech, about the border and immigration---
in the same way he owned them last year over Social Security and Medicare---
Maybe,
He should ask all the Republicans who support keeping our country safe to 'stand up'--
and then ask them why they refused to protect the country,
when it came time to vote on the border bill......
? Something to that effect, anyway.

(58,022 posts)how spineless Democrats are, when Biden was being battered by 'journalists' yammering over each other.

(27,648 posts)I wish for once, the staff would lay down some decorum..no yelling, shouting out questions. Act professional and responsibly instead of climbing over each other for an exclusive for their networks or editors. It is over the top.

(28,836 posts)I know that it's kind of a tradition that the president call on people personally, but that only works if those in the audience aren't a bunch of eight-year-olds screaming for attention on a playground.

(12,583 posts)Pushback. Push back hard and when something is said or done that's clearly off the charts, show our righteous indignation, our rage. The comment about Beau Biden is a perfect example, the special counsel's suggestion that President Biden couldn't recall the date his own son's death.
"How dare he!"
Indeed.
The response to Peter Doocy? Perfect. Ridicule these douchebags.
Sharp. Wicked. Give 'em hell, Mr. President.

(28,836 posts)I have no doubt that they'll be the same this cycle, but they'll really need to be on their toes. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

(12,906 posts)Called Sisi 'President of Mexico". Sisi is President of Egypt. He also stumbled over which church the rosary came from. Minor flubs, but likely to be harped on by Doucy or others of his ilk.
