Tucker Finds Transcript of Full ABC Interview of Biden Which Has Incoherent Answers: It’s Weakness at the Center of U.S. Gov’t

That exchange was never broadcast on camera’

EXCERPT:

CARLSON: “Now, television networks edit interviews very often, for time, but ABC News appears to have chosen to edit out portions that made Joe Biden look — how to put it — not presidential, incoherent, confused. We think it's worth knowing what happened, especially in a moment of national crisis, so we're going to read from the transcript that we were provided and here it is. 

George Stephanopoulos: I think of a lot of Americans, even a lot of veterans who served in Afghanistan agree with you on the big strategic picture they believe we had to get out, but I wonder how you respond to an Army Special Forces officer, Javier Mackey. He did seven tours, he was shot twice. He agrees with you. He says, 'We have to cut our losses in Afghanistan,' but he adds, 'I just wish we could have left with honor.' 

Here's Joe Biden's response, 'Look, that's like asking my deceased son, Beau, who spent six months in Kosovo and a year in Iraq as a Navy captain and then major. I mean, as an Army major and you know, I'm sure he had regrets coming out of Afghanistan. I mean, out of Iraq. He had regrets to what's — how — how it's going, but the idea — what's the alternative?'
