the sarcasm is party because the press had availability to readouts, so it's just lazy ass pestering, and hoping to see Biden struggle with what to emote on topic
On the agenda for today’s Biden-Putin (Putin-Biden?) phone call that just happened: New START arms control, coronavirus, the USA leaving the Open Skies Treaty. “A businesslike and frank discussion." https://t.co/RYPaSMHYcG
Biden is talking about race. He discusses the George Floyd killing, saying it marked a turning point in views on racial justice; mentions the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on Black and Latino people; criticizes "thugs" and "white supremacists" over the Capitol attack.
Biden says criminal justice reform is needed but isn't enough. He says racial equity "has to be the business of the whole of government" rather than one department.
Biden says he's rescinding Trump's ban on federal sensitivity and diversity training and notes he's ordered the abolition of the "offensive, counterfactual 1776 Commission."
Biden says the order on DOJ private prison contracts is "just the beginning." He says it's necessary to "restore and expand the Voting Rights Act." Says systemic racism can't be ended "tomorrow," but can make progress.
It was Fox's Peter Doocy. This is the second time Biden has done this joke with Doocy - when Doocy asked a bike-riding Biden in August who his VP choice was, Biden said, "You." https://t.co/pdPfXE1NSS

No more "business as usual" or kissing up to power, be it Fox & Murdich or the egotist in the Oval Office
