Biden Accidentally Reads Teleprompter Notes, Takes “Softball” Questions in Delaware Campaign Stop

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

During a campaign event in Delaware on Friday, Presidential candidate Joe Biden delivered a speech, mainly as a response to the largely discredited Atlantic article that claims President Trump called soldiers who died in wars “losers” and “suckers”. This perfectly timed article was published at a time where the president is rising in vital swing state polls.

At one point Joe Biden actually read the teleprompter notes, reminiscent of the Will Ferrell character in Anchorman, Ron Burgundy

Biden just pulled another Ron Burgundy moment by reading the words “end of quote” out loud from the teleprompter

Biden took some pre-prepared “softball” questions from a friendly press pool

This is a non-question from CBS’s Ed O’Keefe. This isn’t even putting the ball on the tee. This is hitting the ball over the stands and letting Biden run the bases. pic.twitter.com/d08u3jPbiE
