President Biden’s campaign will no longer ask questions of the media in future interviews following the embarrassing exposure of the conduct on national television.
“While interview hosts have historically been free to ask any question they like, they will now be refraining from asking suggestive questions,” a source familiar with Biden’s media booking operations told The Post on Saturday.
The source’s comments came just hours after the Philadelphia radio host made the revelation. On CNN The Biden campaign reportedly had prepared questions for the embattled 81-year-old woman before she appeared on the show.
Andrea Lawful Sanders, host of WURD’s “The Source,” said she received a list of eight questions directly from the Biden campaign ahead of her interview with the embattled Biden on Wednesday, which was aimed at convincing panicked supporters, particularly Black people, that the president’s dismal performance in the presidential debate was an anomaly.
She said she approved eight questions, four of which were selected.
Biden stumbled over her words several times during the interview but, bizarrely, insisted she was proud to be “the first black woman to serve a black president.”
He also made other nonsensical claims, such as, “When I was a kid, I was the first statewide elected president in Delaware.”
What to know about the impact of President Biden’s debate performance:
Biden also stumbled over his words several times during his second radio interview Wednesday on “The Earl Ingraham Show” on WMCS in Milwaukee.
Ingraham, who also appeared on CNN’s “First of All,” did not dispute Lawful Sanders’ account that the Biden campaign dictated the questions.
The Biden campaign later argued that it’s common practice to send suggested talking points to interviewers.
“Hosts are always free to ask the questions they believe will be most helpful to their listeners,” Biden spokeswoman Lauren Hitt said in a statement.
The president appeared in pre-recorded interviews with two black radio stations, partly to ease concerns among Democrats about whether he would serve another term in the White House.
But the appearance only raised further questions about Biden’s cognitive abilities.
