Joe Biden’s Press Secretary TJ Ducklo went on with Bret Baier on Fox News today. The final question is the one that drew the most attention, not for its answer but for its lack of an answer. Ducklo flat out refused to answer it, claiming that it was a question funneled in by the Trump campaign. This is false, of course, as millions of Americans would love to know if the person they’re considering voting for needs a teleprompter to answer basic questions.
“Has Joe Biden ever used a telepromter during local interviews or to answer Q&A with supporters?” Baier asked.
Ducklo looked smug as he replied, though his words belied his facade of confidence. “Bret, we are not going to en… this is straight from the Trump campaign talking points and what it does, and what it does, Bret, is it’s trying to distract the American people from, from, from the pan…”
Whether the Trump campaign “funneled” the question in or not is actually irrelevant. It’s a legitimate question, one that the Biden campaign refuses to answer. If it weren’t true, the answer would be a mixture of indignation and amusement at the ludicrous notion. But it seems clear they don’t want to flat-out lie, so they’re just avoiding answer the simple question.
“I’m just… they’re using it, they talk about it every day. Can you say ‘yes’ or ‘no’?” Baier pressed.
“They talk about it every day because they don’t have a coherent argument for why Donald Trump deserves reelection, deserves four more years,” Ducklo said, continuing to avoid the question he was asked. “We know that he lied to the American people. We know that he has not shown leadership during this crisis, and they are desperate to throw anything they can against the wall to try to distract from that fact.”
“I understand, but you can’t answer the question,” Baier noted.
“Bret, I am not going to allow the Trump campaign to funnel their questions through Fox News and get me to respond to them,” Ducklo said triumphantly, as if he had just taken some perceived high road.
As TJ Ducklo should know, the correct answer is, “No, of course not. How can anyone who needs a teleprompter to answer questions be running for President of the United States?” His non-answer is all the answer voters need.
COVID-19 may take down an independent news outlet
Nobody said running a media site would be easy. We could use some help keeping this site afloat.
Colleagues have called me the worst fundraiser ever. My skills are squarely rooted on the journalistic side of running a news outlet. Paying the bills has never been my forte, but we’ve survived. We have ads on the site that help, but since the site’s inception this has been a labor of love that otherwise doesn’t bring in the level of revenue necessary to justify it.
When I left a nice, corporate career in 2017, I did so knowing I wouldn’t make nearly as much money. But what we do at NOQ Report to deliver the truth and fight the progressive mainstream media narrative that has plagued this nation is too important for me to sacrifice it for the sake of wealth. We know we’ll never make a ton of money this way, and we’re okay with that.
Things have become harder with the coronavirus lockdowns. Both ad money and donations that have kept us afloat for a while have dropped dramatically. We thought we could weather the storm, but the so-called “surge” or “2nd-wave” that mainstream media and Democrats are pushing has put our prospects in jeopardy. In short, we are now in desperate need of financial assistance.
The best way NOQ Report readers can help is to donate. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well. We need approximately $11,500 to stay afloat for the rest of 2020, but more would be wonderful and any amount that brings us closer to our goal is greatly appreciated.
The second way to help is to become a partner. We’ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn’t seem necessary. Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills. This shouldn’t be the case as our traffic the last year has been going up dramatically. June, 2018, we had 11,678 visitors. A year later in June, 2019, we were up to 116,194. In June, 2020, we had 614,192. We’re heading in the right direction and we believe we’re ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only “get in on the action” but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.
Election year or not, coronavirus lockdowns or not, anarchic riots or not, the need for truthful journalism endures. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report going.

American Conservative Movement
Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism. The coronavirus crisis has prompted many, even some conservatives, to promote authoritarianism. It’s understandable to some extent now, but it must not be allowed to embed itself in American life. We currently have 8000+ patriots with us in a very short time. If you are interested, please join us to receive updates.
