CNN’s Dana Bash on Thursday described President Joe Biden’s witty retort to a reporter’s question about former president and current GOP nominee Donald Trump as a “mic-drop moment.”
Biden had just announced the U.S.-Russia prisoner swap — which saw the release back to the United States of unjustly detained Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, among others — when a reporter reminded the president about his predecessor’s claims that he could have gotten the prisoners freed “without giving anything in exchange.”
“What do you say to that? What do you say to President Trump now, the former president?” the reporter added.
Biden immediately replied, “Why didn’t he do it when he was president?”
