MRC: Sadly depriving the public of the comically partisan White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates, the Biden regime trotted out Principal Deputy Press Secretary Olivia Dalton on Tuesday to fill in for Karine Jean-Pierre. In turn, Dalton faced some hardballs about the Biden economy, a faux-hardball from a Team Biden apple polisher, and new queries about Hunter Biden’s life of corruption.
The Fox News Channel’s Jacqui Heinrich greeted Dalton with questions about Hunter Biden, a topic the press corps had let go of after Friday.
“What message is the President trying to send to the American people when he invites his son to the state dinner and Camp David as we saw this past weekend amid everything he’s going through,” Heinrich first asked.
Dalton went along with the sympathy argument, which was Biden’s devotion to his family: “Every president of the United States has invited their family to a state dinner. This president also has a family. He is no different. And beyond that, I am just not going to engage on this.”
Heinrich only worked in a single follow-up, citing how even former Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki believed the optics weren’t ideal before asking whether Hunter’s precedence has created “challenges” for the administration. Having watched Psaki and Jean-Pierre, Dalton doubled down.
Always one for hardballs to Team Biden, the New York Post’s Steven Nelson invoked reported interference in the Hunter probe as well as rumored comments former President Obama gave to Biden in 2020 almost begging him to not run for president. MORE
I HAVE A QUESTION:
WHERE’S FAUCI??
I’ve always been on the Hatfield’s side.
This aggression will not stand, man!
They use that word ‘grilling’, but it’s never in a context I’d like to see.
Or the individuals I’d like to see grilled.
