A Disaster Of Another Kind Strikes When Biden Is Asked Why He Was At The Beach In Midst Of Helene

Here's how the exchange went down: Reporter: "On the hurricane, why weren't you and Vice President Harris here in Washington commanding this this weekend?" -- Biden (sounding defensive): "I was commanding. I was on the phone for at least two hours yesterday, and the day before as well. I command, it's called a telephone, and all my security people." (…)
