CNN’s been running themselves pretty ragged cleaning up Joe Biden and Co.’s messes, but evidently even they have their limit of what they’re willing to put up with.
John Berman attempted to get Kamala Harris’ spokeswoman Symone D. Sanders to answer a straightforward question about reopening schools, and here’s what happened:

Good point, John.
Did CNN just perform a random act of journalism? https://t.co/Sg7Q82ZCCq

Well, they tried, at least. But Sanders wasn’t having it. She knows where the Biden administration’s bread is buttered.
The easiest answer for the Biden admin is “ask the teacher’s unions what we are allowed to say” https://t.co/aU9RFTedb8

Seriously. They need to just own the fact that they’re beholden to the teachers’ unions.
It's a hard question to answer because it is a choice between quickly opening the schools and doing what the teachers unions want, and the Biden Admin can't outright say what is self-evident, which is that they've sided with unions over school openings. https://t.co/sXGVJwVllg

Own it, Symone.
It’s hard to answer because they don’t want to answer it.

And that’s pretty silly, because it’s not as if we don’t all know why they don’t want to answer it.
You know things are bad when @CNN is calling @JoeBiden out.
There IS NO MIDDLE GROUND. Either Biden supports the science, or the unions. Pick one. https://t.co/vTc3N8DVtF

The first words out of @SymoneDSanders mouth…pure GASLIGHTING:
"Is it safe for students to go back to school?"
That is an absolute yes, for all ages.
KIDS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM…and probably are getting sicker at home than they would at school.

Sanders go on to say teachers should be prioritized for vaccines.
Fine…but that is NOT A NECESSITY.

Symone D. Sanders and the Biden administration are just gonna keep moving those goalposts until they push them right over the cliff’s edge.
Read all about it:
1. The science is clear on younger students.
2. We can and should delay for high school students.
3. Teachers should only get in front of the line for vaccines if they guarantee to go in person.
4. If Unions not willing to do that, time for vouchers.https://t.co/Sy26Uoo45p— Pradheep J. Shanker (@Neoavatara) February 17, 2021
