The media’s soft treatment of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is harmful to democracy, said Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.).

Kennedy appeared on Fox News Nov. 17 to share his insights on Biden’s first press conference since being projected by media as the winner of the White House race. Kennedy said he’s been following the media coverage of presidential campaigns, and that it took a “special kind of stupid” to not be able to see the “disparate treatment” between Biden and President Donald Trump.
