You Don’t Deserve to Know

That was Joe’s answer when he was asked about packing the Supreme Court.

Ross DiMattei, a reporter from KTNV-T Las Vegas, Nevada, asked Biden about packing the court following a Biden campaign stop.

“Sir, I gotta ask you about packing the courts,” DiMattei said.

“Sure,” Biden replied.

“You said yesterday you aren’t going to answer the question until after the election but this is the number one thing that I’ve been asked about from viewers in the last couple of days,” DiMattei explained. 

“Well, you’ve been asked by the viewers who are probably Republicans who don’t want me to continue talking about what they’re doing to the Court right now,” Biden said. 

“Well, sir, don’t the voters deserve to know –” the reporter started to follow up.

“No, they don’t!” Biden barked back. “I’m not going to play [President Trump’s] game. He’d love me to talk about – and I’ve already said something on Court packing. He’d love that to be the discussion instead of what he’s doing now. He’s about to make a pick in the middle of an election. First time it’s ever been done. First time in history it’s ever been done.”
