Joe Biden wiped the floor with Republicans at his press conference. They should be very, very afraid
After much media anticipation, President Joe Biden held his first press conference this week. Congressional Republicans are likely hoping he never holds another one again.
From touting all the "good stuff" his administration could do on infrastructure to skewering newly passed GOP voter suppression laws as "sick," folksy Joe held forth, stepping right into the schism between Republican corporatists and the white working-class voters they're suddenly trying to court—and blowing it wide open.
To some extent, Biden just speaks in everyman language. "That's a serious question—right?" he chided one reporter, who asked whether it was “acceptable” to him that one Texas facility housing unaccompanied migrant children was at 1,556% capacity.
"Is it acceptable to me? Come on," Biden said, projecting disbelief that such a question would even be posed. Biden went on to describe the urgent steps he is taking to ease the overcrowding, such as opening up Fort Bliss to house as many as 5,000 children. He also humanized the sheer desperation that must lead parents to send their kids north with hopes for a better life. However, the situation as it stands "is totally unacceptable," he concluded unequivocally.
