Radio host says Biden campaign fed her questions for interview with president — and he still managed to make a massive gaffe

One of the very few journalists to interview Joe Biden one-on-one has made a bleak admission about her time with the embattled president.

President Biden can’t even give straight answers when he knows the questions in advance.

A Philadelphia radio host revealed on CNN Saturday that the Biden campaign fed her questions before the 81-year-old POTUS appeared on her show.

Andrea Lawful-Sanders, host of “The Source” on WURD, said she got a list of eight questions directly from the Biden campaign in advance for the interview Wednesday with the embattled Biden — which was meant to help convince panicked supporters, especially blacks, that the president’s disastrous debate performance were an anomaly.

“The questions were sent to me for approval; I approved of them,” Lawful-Sanders revealed to Victor Blackwell, host of CNN’s “First of All.”

Lawful-Sanders originally said the questions came from the White House, but a Biden campaign spokesman told The Post that the talking points came from them.

Biden stumbled repeatedly during his interview with Lawful-Sanders — bizarrely claiming that he was proud to be “the first Black woman to serve with a Black president.”

Andrea Lawful-Sanders, host of The Source on WURD, said she got a list of eight questions for the interview on Wednesday.

He also made other nonsensical claims including: “I’m the first president that got elected statewide in the state of Delaware, when I was a kid.”

In addition, Biden repeatedly stumbled during his appearance on a second radio interview Wednesday for “The Earl Ingram Show” on WMCS in Milwaukee, including during one softball question about why voting matters.

“That’s where we always — we gave Donald Trump executive — a power to, to use a system — and it’s just never contemplated by our founders because of the people he appointed to the court,” responded Biden, appearing to stutter several times.

Ingram, who also appeared on CNN’s “First of All,” did not dispute her description of how Biden’s camp dictated the questions.

Blackwell expressed surprise after learning about the pre-approved question. The CNN host asked Lawful-Sanders about her four questions because he noticed that they were very similar to the four Ingram asked in his interview with Biden the same day.

Holy smokes.

The Biden camp has been pointing to the local radio interviews he did after the debate as evidence that he’s fine, but the radio hosts who conducted those interviews told CNN this morning the questions were scripted and provided by the White House.

“The reason I ask is not a criticism of either of you,” Blackwell told the two radio hosts. “It’s just that if the White House is trying now to prove the vim, vigour, acuity of the president, I don’t know how they do that by sending questions first, before the interviews, so that the president knows what’s coming.”

The Biden campaign later claimed it’s common to send interviewers suggested talking points.

“Hosts are always free to ask the questions they think will best inform their listeners,” Biden spokeswoman Lauren Hitt said in a statement.

“In addition to these interviews, the president also participated in a press gaggle yesterday as well as an interview with ABC. Americans have had several opportunities to see him unscripted since the debate.”

The president appeared for prerecorded interviews with both black radio stations in part to calm concerns among Democrats about his ability to serve another term as president.

However, the appearances only managed to raise even more questions about Biden’s cognitive ability.
