“This has created doubt not only in my mind, in the mind of many, many Americans, but also doubt in the minds of our allies. It has been just shocking to see the @POTUS lack of attention to this, his unwillingness to address it. “ Sen @BillHagertyTN 1
“The fact that he’s tried to spin and deflect rather than accept responsibility, own it and fix it, it’s just been shocking…. I’m certain the American public would prefer [@ABC release full @GStephanopoulos interview” —Sen @BillHagertyTN 2
“And I think that your raising it, talking about it right now, is a great way to put pressure on the situation, to actually see the raw footage.” Sen @BillHagertyTN 3 hughhewitt.com/senator-bill-h… @ABC needs to release the full tape of @GStephanopoulos interview w/ @JoeBiden 3
The interview is vital to American people’s understanding what is happening. It’s the only non-scripted interaction @POTUS @JoeBiden has had w/ anyone outside his own circle. Media needs to inform, not seek a scoop or worse, cover up one. @GStephanopoulos is a good interviewer. 4
But @ABC owns this decision. It needs to distance itself from the story and the ratings and act on behalf of the public. The transcript is not enough. In fact, releasing only it raises very serious concerns about what we are not seeing. 5
