ABC News pundit gives negative assessment of Biden after conducting 22-minute interview with 81-year-old president.
Joe Biden is unfit to serve another term, according to ABC News’s George Stephanopolous, who recently conducted a sit-down interview with the 81-year-old US president.
The mainstream media operative revealed his sentiments in an unusually candid off-hand comment to a passerby, video of which was obtained by TMZ.
In the video, the passerby asks Stephanopolous, “Do you think Biden should step down? You’ve talked to him more than anybody else has lately.”
“I don’t think he can serve four more years,” Stephanopolous states bluntly.
Following the exchange Stephanopolous informed TMZ he made the comment in error, saying, “Earlier today, I responded to a question from a passerby. I shouldn’t have.”
A representative for ABC noted his comment was not representative of the network, saying, “George expressed his own point of view and not the position of ABC News.”
Stephanopolous’ assessment follows last Friday’s 22-minute interview with Biden, where the president addressed his abysmal debate performance and remained defiant on dropping out of the presidential race.
The former Clinton crony’s comments are reflective of the wider discontent swelling in the Democrat party, where skeptical Democrats in imperiled swing state districts are growing more anxious with Biden leading the ticket.
