David Brooks

On the PBS NewsHour roundtable, David Brooks said that he knew of no example of influence peddling on Joe Biden’s part. Apparently David Brooks never saw the video at the CFR in 2018 where Biden confessed to Richard Haas that he threatened to withhold one billion dollars in aid to Ukraine unless Viktor Shokin were fired. Shokin was investigating Burisma which paid off Hunter Biden. He then bragged to audience laughter that he got Shokin fired. Neither anchor Geoff Bennett nor panelist Jonathan Capehart pointed this out to David. That’s why it’s important for PBS to replace fake-conservative Capehart with a real conservative. The viewers would benefit from having more complete information.
