Joe Biden ended his day getting a milkshake at Cookout in Durham, NC with his daughter while reporters quietly looked on.

Except for one reporter, who asked Biden what flavors he got.
Now to be fair to that lone reporter, I think he was attempting to get Biden’s attention for a question about Hunter Biden, which he proceeded to ask about before getting waived off:

All I could hear was the reporter mention the FBI, so I assume it was about Hunter’s laptop. Biden refused to even hear the question.
But the bigger story here is that all of the other reporters there watching Biden get ice cream with his daughter didn’t even dare ask Biden anything. They just let him have his photo op in silence.
As Joe Concha points out, “There has never been a presidential candidate less scrutinized that the 2020 Democratic nominee. And this is after political media screaming about transparency for the past four years. You either hold the powerful or potentially accountable or you don’t.”

Reporters can’t wait to obnoxiously yell their questions at Trump almost every time they see him. But with Biden, they act like his sheep.
