Sooner or later, Fox News producers and hosts will learn a lesson: So
far, several attempts to corner Pete Buttigieg with (what they believe
are) clever questions has backfired.

In honor of the Summer Olympics happening now in Paris, we’ll say this: Buttigieg is one of the nation’s most skilled political gymnasts.

On Fox News Sunday, host Shannon Bream asked Buttigieg — the
Transportation Secretary who has been floated as Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate — if President Joe Biden was aware of how badly he
had been doing in polling against Donald Trump.

The answer wasn’t what Bream expected, because she tried to interrupt,
but Buttigieg wouldn’t allow it.

“I’m aware of how he was doing. We’re all aware of how he’s doing,” Buttigieg said. “Our country has watched our president lead, and yes,
we’ve also seen the fact that he’s 10 years older than he was 10 years
ago. But unlike Republicans, who in Trump’s personality cult will take a
look at Donald Trump and say he’s perfectly fine, even though he seemed unable to tell the difference between Nikki Haley and Nancy Pelosi, even
though he’s rambling about electrocuting sharks and Hannibal Lecter,
even though he is clearly older and stranger than he was when America
first got to know him.

“They say he’s strong as an ox, leaps tall buildings in a single bound.
We don’t have that kind of warped reality on our side.

“On the contrary, the president confronted that reality in what must
have been one of the most difficult decisions for an American president
to make ever. And he did something that I don’t think Donald Trump could
even conceive of doing, which is putting his own interests aside for the country.”
