1. Spot on Simone. A wonderful spokesperson knowing her stuff!

2. But, dear Symone, that's not what George is prepared to talk about.....

He asked about "Biden incompetence" news, not "Biden speaking reasonably, publicly" news.
Symone, you really need to understand more about how "news" is packaged and delivered for consumption.

Okay, this is sarcasm.

3. They refuse to put the blame where it deserves.

So trump who is president, privy to this info and has the capacity to do something is held to a lower standard than somebody that wasn't even the nominee to run for president yet?

4. Simone rejects bullshit very well. She's a great surrogate

for Joe.

5. Symone - nice reply back. Brava! nt

6. Simone Sanders is an amazing spokesperson

7. Stephanopoulos hasn't turned into a Dump sycophant now, did he?

He's been attacked by the 1% for supporting DEMS over and over again. Did he finally give in and decide to support the rich guy or be black listed?

Or is he playing Devil's advocate to give her the air time to "school his butt" on the issue?

I'm confused. But I've been away from mainstream TV for some time.

EDIT>>>> OMG - George is drinking the koolaid

8. That was the perfect way to counter bs attacks

To focus on why Biden, with absolutely no executive power and firsthand briefings, didn't come out with specific medical details and guidelines before a consensus was found, is just a stupid gotcha game. And it's even more ridiculous when he acknowledges that Biden warned about a lack of preparedness regarding a pandemic months before that. Further, it's not Biden that has to persuade his base to act more responsibly and with more regard for the people around them.

The more important question after 200k deaths is why Trump and not Biden waged a war against science after there was a consensus that masks are needed, for example.

I know that Stephanopoulos is smarter than that. That's why I think these kind of questions aren't asked in good faith.

9. Seems like ABC

has made a tact to the hard right in the last three weeks. Not surprising. Disney Corporation is still a very ultra Conservative operation. As far as George goes,he just follows orders for his Managers and News directors. As we Country Folks say,George was born with a Silver Spoon and he could give a shit less about the real world. It is all about selling the story of a Horse Race and selling Ad Time to Campaigns. BTW,appears the Orange A-Hole has pulled his Campaign Ads from most Media and is going all in with Tech Media.

11. Symone did a great job

Media needs to stop being dull twits.

12. Arggh

Stephanopoul is an idiot

[sanatanadharma]

13. The pundit class has done well these past five years; Trump $$$$$$

The pecuniary motive is strong in the human condition.
Trump is the penultimate expression of the confusion of self-worth with wealth-worth.
Money, power, control, many are the lusts of the egos of lost souls.

Trumpism is the wild-wailing of beastial-beings.
Or perhaps lead poisoning.

14. Uh.....another thing George. Biden wasn't even the front runner in January

Why are you transposing the present day facts of Biden's nomination, to January when Sanders held the lead? Why are you demanding a Democratic party candidate, I presume all of them, as there was no winner back then, who were not obviously briefed as much as the POTUS, should be as on top of the situation as the commander in chief?

Mind numbing.

15. Well done. Great job of pushing back against patent BS.
