'The damnedest thing I've ever seen': Chris Wallace says Biden is trying to 'hide from now until Election Day'
2020-08-17
[Washington Examiner] Veteran Fox News journalist Chris Wallace expressed befuddlement over Joe Biden's absence from the Sunday morning news show circuit ahead of this week's national convention.

"So I've been doing Sunday shows with conventions. I started on Meet the Press in 1988. I've been doing it on and off. For what? What is that? Thirty-two years. And it always happens that the Sunday before the convention," Wallace said this week on Fox News Radio. "The campaign puts out top officials to preview the convention and to say this is what we're gonna try to get accomplished. So, you know, we put counting all week on, you know, having a top official from the Biden campaign, the campaign manager, the top pollster, the chief strategist, to talk about what they're going to talk about during this next week. They are not putting anybody out."

Wallace said he at first thought, "Well, maybe it's because it's Fox News, and they're boycotting us."

"No, they're not putting anybody out on any of the Sunday shows point," Wallace said. "I don't understand what's going on here. This is the damnedest thing I've ever seen that you would you know, you're basically giving a campaign. And as I say, it's a traditional thing. We're gonna do it for the Republicans a week from Sunday. What are you trying to accomplish this week? And they, the Biden campaign, isn't putting anybody out."

President Trump and his Republican allies have attacked Biden for not conducting what they view as a sufficient amount of television interviews or holding any public events.

The Biden campaign has cited the coronavirus pandemic concerns as one of the reasons many of the former vice president's events and fundraisers have been virtual.

#8  This election is between Trump and not-Trump. The campaign issue will be 'are you better off than you were 4 years ago?' - blaming Trump for all the effects of the virus, the response to the virus, and the racial protests ginned up from a publicized police 'abuse' in the bluest of blue places.

#7  Biden's not hiding, he's just not found out how to leave a one door room.

#4  This the first sign of deflation in Wallaces anti-Trump bubble. I suspect he'll be in a fetal position within a flaccid bubble before he's willing to step out and see the light.

#1  Is Chris Wallace really this stupid to not recognize what is going on? I am sure Dems internal polling have an empty box polling higher than Biden when matched up against Trump.
