While providing analysis at the Democratic National Convention Monday night, CNN’s Chris Wallace said the night wasn’t really “bittersweet” — it was just “bitter.”
Wallace briefly spoke to the fact that Biden was forced out by top Democrats in his own party.
“The word that everybody is using to describe tonight is bittersweet,” Wallace said before the convention was set to begin. “It’s just bitter. The fact of the matter is — I’m not saying Joe Biden is bitter — but, you know, it’s like you’ve been thrown out a window and as you’re falling, you go, ‘Gee it’s nice out here.’ No, he got thrown out of a window and, basically, he was forced.
“You know, there’s going to be a lot of talk tonight about how generous it was of him and selfless of him. He was basically forced out by Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama and Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries; and I suspect even the fact that there has been this surge of enthusiasm since he left and Kamala Harris took his place, that’s gotta be pretty tough, too. You got thrown out of a window and everybody’s applauding the person who’s now in the room.”
