Joe Biden’s media team is continuing his senile uncle in the basement campaign strategy by keeping him away from the press and the people, lest he make a fool of himself. The Hill’s media pundit Joe Concha, like everyone else in DC, has noticed.

FNC: “Joe Biden is showing himself to be an ‘absentee president’ by not holding a solo press conference or scheduling an address to Congress despite having been in office for more than six weeks, Joe Concha told ‘America Reports’ Thursday. Biden’s immediate predecessor, Donald Trump, held his first news conference on Feb. 16, 2017, while Barack Obama held his first news conference on Feb. 9, 2009.”

“I look at what President Biden said on January 14th where he said, as president-elect, he would address Congress ‘next month’, as in February,” said Concha. “And when White House press secretary Jen Psaki was asked about that, [she] said no promise was made that would happen, even though the president’s own words said they would. [With] all of these actions that the president is taking without having to be held accountable for them, I would think that a guy … who got 81 million votes — the most in U.S. history, Joe Biden, with the wind at his back, would take advantage and address the country during a time of crisis in terms of COVID, in terms of the economy, in terms of a rising China and instead we have an absentee president at this point.”

Concha opined that Team Biden “has zero confidence that this president can handle questions outside of handpicked reporters, which we have seen four or five questions and the questions are generally friendly unless the guy’s name is [Fox News White House correspondent] Peter Doocy, and then from there we don’t hear from him in any capacity when he speaking at events.”

On tough topics like the disaster at the border? “I would be curious to see how the president answers those questions,” Concha said. “I have a feeling we will not see that happen anytime soon because I don’t think there is the confidence there that he can do it.”

…And in late Friday night news, the Democrats lost the $15 minimum wage vote with 8 Democrat Senators voting no. They are Tom Carper of Delaware, Chris Coons of Delaware, Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire,  Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and, Jon Tester of Montana. Angus King of Maine, who is an Independent but caucuses with the Democrats, also voted no.

Here is Sinema doing a charming little dance as she sticks it to fellow Democrats. Very telegenic and amusing. She is no conservative, at least not all the time, but we like this woman.
