President Biden's minders have kept their man away from granting interviews to the press. Instead, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman just wrote a column about grabbing lunch with Biden at the White House – off the record.

Thomas Friedman of the New York Times has developed quite the habit of pointing out President Trump’s supposed lack of shame. Over the past year he’s turned it into something of a catchphrase, busting it out at every conceivable opportunity.

A transcript is below but you really, really have to watch the video of New York Times columnist Tom Friedman on Tuesday's Morning Joe begging the viewers to vote Democrat in the midterms to get a full sense of his angst.
