1. AFter the horses have run from the barn, it is now time to close the barn door. Brilliant! smh. ffs. n/t

[Polybius]

2. All he said was he doubted that he could finish

If re-elected, his term would end on January 20, 2029.

[Patton French]

3. Correct, but he should know better than to say that to some random person on the street.

He’s an objective journalist who doesn’t express such opinions publicly.

[Polybius]

4. Yup

While many of us agree, you can't say that if you're a reporter. It was a jerk move for the guy to hide his phone though. George probably thought it was private.

5. Yet another example. I can't believe the way people are acting.

Like you said, some random guy comes up to him on the street and he talks to them?

Hell, I don't talk to random guys on the street no matter what they ask me. Especially if they're holding up a phone.

[Patton French]

6. Definitely, which tells me he wasn't too concerned about the comment getting out.

Makes his apology rather hollow.

[shrike3]

7. Yeah.

[former9thward]

11. He wasn't holding up a phone.

He had it pointed down to the sidewalk and could barely be seen.

[shrike3]

12. George answered. All his years in the biz and he stops to talk to a random stranger who approaches with a phone.

Strange doings.

[Greybnk48]

8. Too late, George.

He's branded himself as a second rate putz by that rude, disrespectful spectacle with the President. Fuck him.

[B.See]

16. Exactly.

Sick of people who think they can erase stupid sht with a half assed apology.

[StarryNite]

9. F*ck Stephanopoulos

He needs to step down. He can't even remember the questions he asks so he keeps asking them over and over. He needs to retire.

[WarGamer]

10. non-apology apology.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

13. Stephanopoulos needs to be fired

[Cinjanik]

14. @abcnews.com

Too little, too late.
GS should be fired! His interview of President Biden was basically one question and he pushed and pushed it
Too bad he didn't do that with tRump!
Time to go.

[shrike3]

15. I'm really flashing back to the Clinton era, where bizarre things happened every day.

Fitting that George is involved, I guess.
