NBC’s Chuck Todd on Sunday lashed out at Minnesota Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar over the health of President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.
The debate is based on a recent NBC News poll that found 68% of the public worried that Mr. Biden doesn’t have the “necessary” mental and physical abilities to do the job as president.
“We ran a new poll. We asked a variety of questions related to President Biden and his ability to do the job. Does he have enough mental and physical health to serve? Anxiety among Democrats has doubled since October 2020. Before the 2020 Election Day, only one in five Democrats had that concern, compared with 40 today. It’s over 43%.You were just at the state dinner with the president.Do you have any concerns?” asked Todd.
“No, I don’t. He did very well at that state dinner. I think everyone saw his power in the State of the Union address. Our party united behind him.” Yes, why, because we work in a results-oriented business, Chuck, he delivers results. [He] More than 13 million jobs have been added since he took office. Our democracy was in turmoil when he came to power,” Klobuchar said, arguing that Biden helped get the economy back on track while focusing on health care.
“They are big achievements, not small achievements.”
“I brought up the state dinner,” continued Todd. “Do you think it was appropriate for Hunter Biden to attend the same event as Attorney General Merrick Garland in the same week that he agreed to the plea bargain?”
“You know, as the president explains, it’s his son, and I think that’s something else, but what I’m trying to say about that is that the decision was made by President Trump. It was made by an independent prosecutor with 10 years of experience. [The] The Philadelphia Enquirer reported that he is registered as a Republican. He made that decision after considering the facts and evidence,” Klobuchar said. “By the way, if the Republican Party wants to run for it in the next election, good luck, because the president will be able to run on his achievement of bringing back 13 million jobs to a recovering America. is. “
“I understand your perception,” Todd interrupted quickly. “But do you understand the problem of recognition of such things?”
“Yes, it is,” said Mr. Klobuchar. (Related: MSNBC analyst John Heilemann says it ‘sounds like a fool’ for Republicans to claim Hunter Biden’s plea was a love deal)
“Do you wish that perception was different?” asked Todd.
“I wish I had different perceptions all the time, but that’s not the reality,” she says. “The reality is if someone can get insulin, but the president has changed it. when you can [home] … not who sits where at the State Dinner. ”
Hunter was indicted by President Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney David Weiss on charges of illegally possessing a handgun while using drugs in 2018 and for failing to pay federal taxes in 2017 and 2018. . The president’s son agreed to plead guilty to tax violations and signed a probation deal. gun assault. It is unlikely that he will serve time in prison.
After IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley testified before members of Congress, Hunter continued to make headlines. He said Hunter threatened Chinese business official Henry Chao while his father, Joe Biden, was sitting next to him, saying that Mr. Chao regretted not following my instructions. I would,” he claimed.
