Alex Thompson on Biden’s ‘Garbage’ Comment: Sad Reality Is that He’s No Longer Able to Articulate the Message Coherently

HUNT: “Alex, I got to start with you because we were just sitting here yesterday talking about the tensions between the Harris and Biden camps in terms of what exactly they’re looking for from the sitting president in these closing days here. And the reality is, of course, Biden’s team trying very hard to clean this up. I think they recognize the damage that has been done. What’s been the reaction from Harris’s team?”
Thompson: “Yeah. Well, no one here at this table knows what Joe Biden meant unless someone here has talked to Joe Biden when he made those comments. And the sad reality is that they were indecipherable because this president is no longer able to coherently and consistently articulate a message. And that’s just the sad reality. That is why he’s no longer the nominee, because at the debate, we all saw that very clearly. And it’s also why Kamala Harris does not want him on the trail. This is a guy that just last week referred to former representative Gabby Giffords in the past tense. She’s very much alive. He’s a person that last week said that he wanted to throw Donald Trump in jail and then very quickly tried to backtrack and said he just politically meant to lock him up. And we are in this sad scenario where clearly Joe Biden and the aides around him that want to make him feel better, want him to be able to sort of be inserted into this race that see Kamala Harris’s election, potential election, as an affirmation of his record, but that Kamala Harris does not want him to be inserted and would prefer that he basically be absent this last week of this election.”
