Symone Sanders vs. Chuck Todd on Biden's "You Ain't Black" Comment: "I'm Not Going To Do This" | Video | RealClearPolitics
Interview dialog transcript between Biden campaign senior advisor Symone Sanders, MSNBC Anchor Katy Tur, and NBC's Meet the Press host, Chuck Todd.
Read the transcript and try to pretend Tur and Todd aren't soft-peddling their questions and responses. Now imagine the same exchange, about the same subject matter with anyone from the Trump campaign, and pretend that Tur and Todd would ask and respond in the same manner.
"All right"?? Hahaha...really, Chuck? Since when did you NOT go for the jugular on matters of race?

TODD: And, Symone, let me -- let me put the question to you this way. I know you have Joe Biden's record and you have a long list of when he goes off the cuff he seems to speak with sort of an older generation stereotype at times in some of this stuff.
When you've been around him, what would be your explanation to someone who might actually (ph) --
SANDERS: Chuck, I'm not going to do this with you.
TODD: Why does this happen?
SANDERS: Chuck, I'm not going to do this. Well, I'm not going to do this because -- Chuck, I'm not going to do this, because let me just be really clear, Vice President Biden absolutely has a respect level for all people around him, for voters across this country, young people, older voters, voters of color, black people, Latino voters, indigenous, Asian-American Pacific Islander.
So I'm not going to even traffic in any hypothetical conversation about if he is sensitive enough. [...snip...] He's offering results. And that stands in a stark contrast into what we're seeing from this White House.
TODD: All right.
