Imagine you’re a White House staffer, or even Joe Biden himself. Suffering from a serious case of bad political news, you decide to tune into CNN’s New Day, assured of some chicken soup for the soul.
But, wait a second! They’re talking of Democrats “panicked” over Biden’s “abysmal, spectacular, failures.” They’re rolling an SNL clip mocking Biden over approval ratings so low, they’re in “power-save” mode.
You shake the remote: did you unintentionally tune into that horrible right-wing network? This can’t be happening! But, sadly for the Biden’s folks, there was no mistake. That actually was New Day, absolutely taking it to the prez over his multiple failures.
Here’s how substitute host Kasie Hunt teased the segment:
“President Biden, ending his first year with so many challenges. The White House leaving Democrats panicked, and frustrated.”
Hunt ended the segment with this observation, which should make Dem hearts run cold:
“A lot of Democrats that I have been talking to are throwing up flags, especially those who have to run for re-election in 2022.“
