Why didn’t ABC’s Rachel Scott ask Biden about his record high gas prices?
President Donald Trump drew the ire of liberal Democrats everywhere last week when he criticized a “stupid question” by ABC News’s Rachel Scott about the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. She posed the question to the president after an impromptu press conference on the location of the reflecting pool renovations after Trump’s presidential motorcade arrived, after driving over the surface of the drained reflecting pool.
