As if being treated with kid gloves by George Stephanopoulos isn’t bad enough, two questioners at ABC’s town hall with Joe Biden have extensive ties to prominent Democrats.
One even worked as a speechwriter in the Obama administration.
Fox News’ Tyler Olson reports:
The queries came as President Trump, hundreds of miles away, was engaging in his own parallel town hall being aired on NBC. The ABC town hall was hosted by George Stephanopoulos, who was a communications director for the Bill Clinton White House and who has been a political journalist since 2002.
One of the questioners at the ABC-hosted event was Nathan Osburn, a former speechwriter for the Obama White House. Osburn specifically worked for the Office of Public Affairs at the Commerce Department under the Obama-Biden administration and at the Small Business Administration.
Pressed repeatedly by @GStephanopoulos on his position on court packing, Joe Biden says, “I’m not a fan … it depends on how this turns out,” adding that it depends on how Republicans handle the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett. https://t.co/JEyTOkB6qk pic.twitter.com/rpcrzh5aRO

Osburn’s profession was listed as “communications” on the ABC town hall graphic and his city was listed as Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Osburn was quoted in the Philadelphia Inquirer earlier this year as “a former Obama administration speechwriter” who had created a “Philly for Pete group” aimed at boosting former Democratic presidential primary candidate Pete Buttigieg. And the LGBTQ Victory Institute listed Osburn as a senior speechwriter for the Small Business Administration in an article praising the Obama-Biden administration for its LGBTQ hiring practices.

Typical liberal bullshit from the liberal media. They don’t even try to hide it anymore.
Go to hell you crook! You wonb’t last!
If Trump gets re-elected he needs CUT up into small groups BIG Techs, Google Facebook Twitter, also have PENALTIES for the media FAKE NEWS.
Michael, that would be up to Congress and the courts. The President is not a dictator. He can only enforce existing law or write an executive order on how to carry out existing law.
To cut up big tech, Trump would have to find a law they’re violating, then get the DOJ to charge them with violating that law and prosecute them in court. Same with the media. Then it would be up to the court to decide if they get cut up or suffer some other penalty.
You may be overlooking the fact that almost anyone (like you or a group you form) who can find a law that big tech or the media are violating can point that out to the DOJ and keep pointing it out until the DOJ acts on it.
they need to take away there safeguard from being sued because they are not following the law that protects them such as they are censoring free speech
Agree they are an threat to America our Freedoms and Rights the government forced Ma Bell phone to break up, need to do this to the internet bullies and amazon is another monopoly that needs forced backed off from controlling buying
So, “two questioners at ABC’s town hall with Joe Biden have extensive ties to prominent Democrats” Is it like trees in the forest? If no one watches or listens to Biden, does it matter. Go to hell, Joe, go to hell.
What a surprise! Set up questions for Biden to answer, along with the other softball questions from others. Biden did nothing but blabber about insignificant things. How come nobody asked a question for a response to Hunter and Joe’s pro quid quo nonsense that put millions in Hunter’s accounts. They both belong in jail.
I think that we need to question why those two people were sent to help as question askers. Talking about stacking the odds. At least throw some hardball questions!
Diaper wearing Biden doesn’t even know the ABCs. Stephanopoulos is just as big a loser as Biden
God Wins🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Why doesn’t any true conservative or Republican be a moderator for a Republican President??? This is utter nonsense to constantly have liberal democratic moderators moderate a debate or Townhall gathering without bias. Get real, so one-sided.
How much smoke can they blow up Bidens ass? He’s already a puppet on a string. Sick baby killing pedophiles
ABC newa is as fake as it gets..Let there be a real debate and see sleppy Jos answer . I would have His depend on.
I knew that the Biden town hall would be full of soft questions, but to allow all of the questions to be “presented” by democrats is absolutely outrageous, more than merely unfair and once again shows the bias of the media.
Just finished watching both town halls. I used my DVR, so I really don’t know why the losers of the alphabet news shows were upset about the timing/broadcast of the two shows.
While Joe was t-ball tossed questions from people that are going to vote for him only because he isn’t President Trump, he rattled nonsensical answers that got severely worse around the 45 minute mark when he claimed that he wanted to become a transgender person at the age of 8 (1950) and that his father said when they allegedly saw two men kissing that they were in love so it was okay. In 1950, transgender was not even a thing, LGBTQRF groups were not hiding in the bushes kissing, because if there were any, there very few that felt that way and it was never talked about openly. So, again he’s a liar, just saying what he has to say to appease one low-information sycophant. Also, he said that his father was an educator……nope, his father dabbled in the oil business and even before joe was born lost all his money and they had to move in with grandpa while daddy went from job to job for several years, until he became a used car salesman. Nothing is bad about losing your job, and bouncing around until you find something that works for you. So why does joe lie about his daddy? His daddy didn’t do anything wrong! He wasn’t a lay about or a drifter, he just worked until he found something that he was good at and enjoyed. Joe is a liar!
now to the Trump town hall, Savanna Guthrie is a terrible moderator. He continually interrupted President Trump, especially when he got into his narrative, then she would try to change the subject. She lied about the President like the rest of the dems saying he was a white supremist supporter. The more he denied, the more she claimed that he denied them but he really didn’t mean it….. she said he hesitated every time he answered the question. He has never hesitated. The dems need to stop lying about the President, it’s getting old, it’s been old. When are the dems going to accept the transfer of President from Odumass to President Trump. Killary DID NOT WIN! Get over it!
Old Lying Joe in one speech said he was born in 1950? That would make him 70! Thru his shady deals selling out America for $$$.and lying, now with dementia he’ll say he’s running for Senate or forget what state or City he’s in? Do the Dems really believe HE is capable of making rational decisions being the Leader of the Free World, or is their agenda to make us The United States of Socialism more important???
Subserviant to China. All the money quid pro joe has taken from China, Russia & ukraine makes him severly compromised. He could not get a security clearance. He would be court maritaled and thrown in prison.
The American people best choose wisely or america as you have known it is gone for ever.
if biden is elected our country will go into a recession. he is a joke.i can
t believe people think he is able to do the job. he has dementia,clear and simple.trump is the only president who has fulfilled his promises.god help us if trump doest win.The Democrats and media are so so corrupt ,it’s just terrible.
Stephanopoulos was so corrupt he couldn’t even work for the Clintons anymore.
Liberal Media is truly Disgusting. Hopefully real people know the difference. Have to feel sorry for those who can’t distinguish the difference
The problem is that there are too many that don’t know the difference.
Surprise surprise surprise! Not!
That little sawed off piece of crap! He has always been a little weasel! George nobody likes you or your show!
It’s beyond repugnant! The President, in spite of it all, will win re-election!!!
God save our country, from the Biden/Harris duo!!!!
I watched both town ,halls, and my discription of the comparison of the two is this. It was like comparing a boxing match and a ballroom dance. Guthrie was abrasive and antagonistic in her questioning, and interrupting, of Trump, and the questions posed to Biden were all in lockstep with the MSWM aenda of not putting any pressure on him. The difference could not have been more obvious.
The real issue with the media coddled lefties is that they are able to self delude that they have a wide range of competencies and perception to enable them to operate on a world stage. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Savanna Guthrie should be terminated for being such a Dick or the other!
EVERY thing that democrooks do is rigged it’s second nature for them!
Why doesn’t anybody ask if he’ll lie while taking the oath of office or will he ACTUALLY protect and defend the constitution of the United States. Democrooks don’t believe in the constitution! Therefore, they should not be allowed to serve in any government office , as they all require taking the oath to serve our country!
Do I remember right that both Tlaib and Omar were sworn in on the Koran?
Yep
And lies through his nose, he hasn’t done anything other than rip off his constituents!

Next time there should be a Republican mediator. Let’s she Biden have hard questions. The past debates he has had baby question. Republicans put in you question about Hunter, then see where it goes.
No average voters in audience for Biden. Ex staffer types,rigged event
& still he mucks it up
Amazing, two jackasses, feeding us bs, never telling the truth, there a joke, slo,joe is unfit, for any office, should of stayed in the basement.
Two words: big surprise.
Remember he work for the clintons so george stuffin envelopes wouldn’t ask binden anything that he couldn’t answer there all trying to cheat anyway they can
No msm pundit, no political ad, or poll will change my mind or decisions on who I vote for period. I have listened to enough information over the last 4 years to back my decisions.
Dems must be so scared of Trump that they fill they have to put people like this continually against him in debates!! Otherwise, joe would not be relevant in the Election!! Doesn’t matter tho because We The People KNOW Who is better for Our Great Country, Donald J Trump!! Biden is as Evil & Corrupt as any politician EVER to run for president in the history of the United States of America!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Can’t really Blame them for Trying to stack the deck…. After all they have a sleepy worn out old hound dog Trying to run a race, and defend all his sleazy, criminal, treasonous, misdeeds….
