“Yeah, but there also has been I mean, I love Joe Biden and I don’t understand this because I know there’s a difference between what he did and what Trump did. A lot of people don’t and will not ever know it because the way it’s covered,” Behar replied, bringing up the optics of Biden’s case.
Goldberg agreed, arguing certain news consumers will never look critically at the issue.
“But it would have been helpful for Joe Biden when it first came out to say, you know, we have tape of Joe Biden saying that Trump did something stupid and shouldn’t have done it and it was bad. Well, he should have said, ‘look, I know I look hypocritical in that tape. Yeah, I’m sorry about that,’” Behar added, urging Biden to own up to the apparent public hypocrisy.
“I didn’t know about this. And now that I know it, I will do what I can to uncover this. I mean, he should be speaking to the American people, or else just act like a Republican and say it’s a witch hunt. Well, and let’s fire Merrick Garland,” Behar jested.
[Admitting he’s a hypocrite might be a very good start, actually. But that would demolish the case against Donald Trump, both legal and political, so Behar shouldn’t hold her breath on that one. — Ed]
