In Miami Stop, Obama Criticizes Trump's '60 Minutes' Walkout

MIAMI, FL — Former President Barack Obama said that Donald Trump’s decision to abruptly end an interview earlier this week with a “60 Minutes” correspondent underscores that Trump isn’t up to being president.

Obama, speaking at a drive-in rally in Miami on Saturday, said he was perplexed that Trump became ruffled after journalist Lesley Stahl pressed him on a series of issues and “got mad and walked out of the interview.”

“Miami, listen, if he can’t answer a tough question like ‘what would you like to do in a second term,’ then it’s our job to make sure he doesn’t get a second term,” Obama said.

Obama added that Trump’s behavior in the interview demonstrated he “ain’t all that tough.”

After cutting short the interview, Trump posted a White House recording of the interview on his Facebook page.

CBS News said the interview will air Sunday, along with a separate one with Biden.

Obama's visit to Florida coincided with Biden's stop in Pennsylvania, during which Biden repeated that he has no plans to ban hydraulic fracturing in Pennsylvania, a critical battleground state where many jobs depend on the industry.

“Let me be clear, I’m not banning fracking in Pennsylvania or anywhere else," Biden said at a drive-in rally on the grounds of a community college in Bristol, near Philadelphia, he said:
People in about 100 cars blared their horns.

Still, Biden noted that climate change could lead to more catastrophic floods in places like along the nearby Delaware River.

“We can do something about it,” he said. “But we’ve got to come together.”

During the visit, Biden also told supporters that he misses up-close campaigning, but doesn't want his events to be “superspreaders.” The barb was seemingly aimed at Trump, who was scheduled to hold a trio of big rallies later Saturday.

Also helping on the campaign trail Saturday was rock star Jon Bon Jovi, who gave a small concert at Biden's second drive-in rally in eastern Pennsylvania, performing three songs and praising Biden's response to the coronavirus.

The rocker took the stage in Dallas, Pennsylvania, wearing a black face mask that he peeled off to play acoustic versions of “Who Says You Can’t Go Home?,” “Livin’ on a Prayer” and “Do What You Can,” which recently was released and dedicated to those on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic.

Bon Jovi also pulled out notes to praise Biden, saying, “I wrote my comments down because I’ve never played at a drive-in with all the horns honking, so it’s a little different.”

The rocker added that “Joe knows that masks are not a sign of weakness, they’re a sign of strength."

Delivering a speech a short time later as hundreds of cars honked their horns in approval, Biden said that Bon Jovi has “always gone wherever I’ve asked him” and called him a friend and “national treasure.”
