Jill Biden promises on Joe Biden's behalf that when he's elected, your 5-year-old who's struggling with remote learning will stop crying and smile [video]

Since Joe Biden isn’t allowed to talk to the media, it’s up to his wife Jill Biden to get his message out there.

She recently sat down for a “CNN exclusive” with Bianna Golodryga, where she explained why children who are struggling to cope with remote learning won’t be struggling when Joe Biden is president:

Your five-year-old will have a laptop and everything will be fine!

He will be smiling with a LAPTOP! Wtf! ?

So vote for Joe!

"If you vote for me, all of your wildest dreams will come true" https://t.co/NVxKeHW9t2

— I did not and will not vote for him. Calm down. (@jtLOL) September 2, 2020

That’s basically the argument Jill Biden is making.

It’s BS, of course.

"He'll be sitting there smiling with a laptop" is a delusion. It misidentifies why he's crying. Dems really think kids are struggling because they don't have a laptop? It's because they aren't designed to live in isolation at that age!

He has a laptop in the picture.

Why isn’t that little boy smiling? Is it because the laptop he’s sitting in front of didn’t come directly from Joe Biden?

This is beyond absurd.

She essentially confesses the same conditions will prevail but that child will be "sitting there with his laptop with a smile on his face" because Biden "has empathy." Not sure how that gets you over the pedagogical obstacles for children who need in-person instruction. https://t.co/e8yFgwRpH2

Neither is Jill. She just needs you to not think about that until after the election.

Gosh it sounds like they are trying to keep schools closed to influence the election. https://t.co/RGdsncnl5v

Teachers unions would never act that cynical though.

jill biden just politicized a child’s pain at remote learning, which her political party has been fighting for in localities. if our politics were healthy, that sort of rhetoric would be discouraged, but instead, it’s praised. https://t.co/8cgfUy6dWn

Yep.

And what will that little boy in Georgia really be doing if Joe Biden gets his way?

The same Biden that will do a national lockdown order? https://t.co/2oTo6iJsTZ

No that boy will be starving because ‘Ole Joe will lock down the country, his Mom will lose her job, her housing and have to rely on crumbs from the govt.

— Jamie Wood (@JamesWo34331739) September 2, 2020

Those crumbs will be great, though. You’ll see.

I honestly can't comprehend her answer here? Did she miss the question entirely? Did she think the kid was crying because of who is president? Do journalists ever ask follow up questions anymore?

Follow-up questions? You mean like this?
