To be clear:
Asking for a response is not hostile
“Smear” is not a response
Team
#Biden
doesn’t accept it from
#Trump
on stories of alleged misconduct
Also those who covered Obama-Biden who asked probing Qs remember being deemed “crazy” or outcasts. This looks familiar.
I asked Joe Biden: What is your response to the NYPost story about your son, sir?
He called it a “smear campaign” and then went after me. “I know you’d ask it. I have no response, it’s another smear campaign, right up your alley, those are the questions you always ask.”
