This is what propaganda looks like folks.

[johnyank]

Lying about what happened last night is going to make you look like liars.

[ryuk]

Bunch of clowns telling me exactly what I should think instead of just reporting the news.

[cyberty]

What!? On January 5th 2021, according to The House Administration Subcommittee On Oversight, "President Trump calls Secretary Miller and offers 10, 000 troops to maintain public safety on January 6, 2021". I smell BS...

Geez, that was the worst attempt at trying to gaslight America into not believing what they saw with their own eyes.

Performing as a presidential candidate is different than performing as a president? They’re really trying to do damage control here but failing at it miserably.

[spdbggy]

Too unfit to stand trial. Too unfit to run a country. Enough said.

[KingC]

You can't gaslight when everyone watched live

[GunnySmithApple]

Trump ABSOLUTELY DID offer troops. You’re either willfully ignorant or lying!!

[deebee]

The media and democrats are acting SURPRISED at Biden's sad and laughable performance? 😂🤣

[annchristine]

LMAO. the excuses they're making for Biden.

[aaronstclair]

Struggled? He couldn't even leave the podium without help...

To the Democratic Party: You can't fix the problem if you're in denial. "Hard to watch" was the understatement of this video.

[eliracine]

Wtf we all watched it. How tf can y'all act like nothing is wrong with Biden. The man is gone.

[ElliYacht]

These people have violated our trust. They no longer deserve a platform of journalistic authority.

[marcusbautista]

I can't with these CBS reporters and their delusion...

[ftlshome]

My god.. these people are awful.. stop evaluating Trump.. Biden was sad…admit it, deal with it.. and lets move on!
