He said very nice things about Biden. Yes, he expressed feeling that Biden hasn't always been perfect, but I see nothing wrong with that. Especially since he acknowledged how much Joe had grown and was continuing to grow. The piece was much more positive toward Biden than otherwise.

MM always says exactly what he thinks. I like that about him, even when I don't agree with him 100%.
