Colombia's TV news argues Biden should let Trump win US elections

by Adriaan Alsema

Presidential candidate Joe Biden should let incumbent President Donald Trump win the elections as an act of “chivalry,” according to Colombia’s most controversial television network.

Journalist Luis Carlos Velez was already controversial for distorting the news, but stunned RCN viewers and peers by suggesting Biden should step aside “because Trump .. considers he has not been treated fairly.”

It would be a great act of chivalry of Joe Biden to day: “man, I don’t want a, ehm, major pain for this country and concede,” because Trump will use all legal batteries to slow down a transition because he considers he has not been treated fairly like some analysts consider he hasn’t been treated fairly.

“This is unbelievable” said journalist Carlos Cortez of political news website La Silla Vacia on Twitter, claiming Velez’ opinion was an “International display of ignorance.”

“I thought he had rock bottom when he did the rock challenge with [President Ivan] Duque” and Twitter user exclaimed referring to Velez quizzing Duque about his knowledge of rock classics instead of his politics while the president was on campaign.

It has been pure hell every single day of Trump's occupation of the White House.

He believed he owned the world and everyone in it.
