We really need to shut comments down from YouTube. Ppl can keep their rude comments to themselves. No one needs to know.

The crucifix that the US will have to bear for the remainder of its existence is that half the US population looked at Biden, a deeply moral and accomplished statesman and then a comical crook, rapist, felon wannabe dictator and said ‘we’ll take the latter’…
I used to like Frontline. Now it SUCKS!

Hmmmmm…not even one minute in & all I'm hearin' is some grown dude payin' "special attention" to a 10yr old, instead of campaignin'…

I have heard on PBS The Circus Big Tent Big Dreams 0:02
Oof. Thought she was just a sweet random grandma, but googled out she was the FIRST LADY of Delaware!
THANK YOU JOE.
It was embarrassing watching him at the DNC he just doesn’t command respect he sounds angry but no one listens to him and no one fears him. The weakest president we ever had
I had the honor of escorting then Senator Biden to his hotel room at a Beverly Hills Hotel in 1999. During our short walk he asked where I was from, he knew my hometown in South Jersey and shared that his wife Dr Biden was from a town near mine. As I opened his hotel room and handed him the keys he thanked me and said ‘Go home Brian’. He was urging me to return to my Mid-Atlantic roots. He was so genuinely engaging to a young desk clerk in California for no other reason than thats the person he is.
If Biden dropped out because of senate/ house races but felt he could win,why worry if he's winnig??? Harder to cheat on every single seat race
I don’t wanna lie Joe Biden is a good guy and America doesn’t deserve him God bless Joe may he live a peaceful life with Jilly
from the rest of the world
Joe Biden truly is one of the most caring politicians, he is very compassionate clearly and has went through so much and still is a strong advocate for our country
I love Joe he has done so much for our country, and always looks out for what’s best for our country and the world.
For someone who seems to care so much for President Biden and for her not to any emotions on the coup replacing him? Very weird !!!
‼ï¸â™¥ï¸the man is extremely caring and personal. Very rare to be kind and not have agenda. Biden is someone who appreciates life and connecting ‼ï¸
Joe is gonna be so pissed when he finds out…
I love frontline I’m asking you to come with Micheal Obama documentary’
🤔
thanks you Frontline for amazing work and information on journalism ðŸ‘
The trolls are out in force for this one, beware everyone.
Joey was pushed to the side by his own party. The ultimate double crossing lol
Absolute hogwash!
My God!
FJB, and f anyone who voted for him.
Biden was pushed to the curb by his own party. The ultimate backstabbing LOL
Biden was kicked to the curb by his own party. The ultimate betrayal LOL
Biden may be a truly good person, compassionate, and empathetic, but he also has another side, most politicians are that way.
It's interesting to get to see the complete interviews for the context around the clips that were used in the documentary
