David Muir, the journalist interviewing Biden, asked him, “We’re nearly two years into this pandemic, you’re a year into the presidency, empty shelves, and no test kits in some places three days before Christmas when it’s so important, is that good enough?”

Biden responded saying, “No, nothing’s been good enough.” He elaborated, “But look, look where we are. When last Christmas, we were in a situation where we had significantly fewer vaccinated — people vaccinated, emergency rooms were filled. You had serious backups in hospitals that were causing great difficulties. We’re in a situation now where we have 200 million people fully vaccinated. Two hundred million people fully vaccinated. And we have more than that who have had one shot, at least one shot. And they’re getting these booster shots as well.”

Muir then grilled Biden on the lack of Covid-19 testing kits, “Three days before Christmas, if you look out across the country, you see it everywhere, these long lines, people waiting for hours outside in the cold, just to get tested, to be reassured before they spend time with their family. If you go to the pharmacy, we hear this over and over again, empty shelves, no test kits. Is that a failure?”

Biden tried to defend himself, “I don’t think it’s a failure. I think it’s — you could argue that we should have known a year ago, six months ago, two months ago, a month ago.”

For once, Biden was actually asked hard-hitting questions, some might say, and he struggled to properly defend himself and his decisions upon taking office. Either way, some might say the media is turning on Biden as they have seen his mishaps in the last 11 months.
