Reporters Ask Joe Biden 12 Questions, Not One About Violence

Former Vice President Joe Biden fielded twelve questions from reporters Monday after a briefing from the “Office of the President-elect” about the economy. Not one of them dealt with violence carried out by leftists against Trump supporters.

On Saturday, there were numerous assaults by left-wing counter-demonstrators against Trump supporters who participated in the “Million MAGA March” in Washington, D.C.

"Now, that’s just while I’m standing there. So, does the second checker catch it every time? But this lady in three times in three minutes from 2:09 to 2:12 she got three wrong.”" he continued, adding "They were calling their bosses. They were pointing at me..."

Watch:

Earlier in the day, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger hit back against claims that he facilitated an unfair, illegal ballot count. He's also been accused of trying to skip the manual recount altogether, and initially "wanted to just rescan the bar codes & be done with it."
