Showing Original Post only (View all)MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell tries to turn Biden's hairline fracture into a major scandal [View all]
Go fuck yourself, Andrea.
................
On Sunday night, Bidens team informed the media that he was visiting an orthopedist because he twisted his ankle while playing with one of his dogs. Bidens physician diagnosed him with hairline fractures in his mid-foot that will require the president-elect to wear a walking boot as he recovers in the coming weeks.
Footage has emerged of Biden walking out of the doctors office.
Despite that video, Mitchell criticized the Biden team for secrecy surrounding the incident. When she addressed the news on Monday, the MSNBC anchor pointed out that Bidens injury happened on Saturday, but the media wasnt informed of it until Sunday when he was on his way to the doctor.
They werent as forthcoming as you would hope they would be with the press pool thats supposed to cover him, Mitchell said.

Aren't we still waiting for the date of his last negative covid test before he got it?

Yeah, because Trump has been so forthcoming about that trip to Walter Reed last year
