“It’s not at all an uncommon practice for interviewees to share topics they would prefer,” Biden campaign spokesperson Lauren Hitt said in a statement.
Biden, who is facing questions about whether he should continue as the Democratic presidential nominee following his poor debate performance, appeared on Black radio shows in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin last week to discuss his policy accomplishments and show voters he is prepared to complete another term. But Lawful-Sanders and a Wisconsin host, Earl Ingram, both said they had been given predetermined questions by Biden’s campaign as a condition of the interviews.
Lawful-Sanders arranged the interview, including the prewritten questions, without the knowledge of WURD management, which “violates our practice of remaining an independent media outlet accountable to our listeners,” wrote Sara M. Lomax, the president and CEO of WURD Radio. Lawful-Sanders’ separation from the station is effective immediately.
CNN’s Victor Blackwell asked Lawful-Sanders during an interview if the questions were given to her by the White House, noting the similarity of questions asked by her and other Black hosts who interviewed Biden. She confirmed she had been given a list of several questions, and the four she asked were the ones she approved from the campaign.
