As Twitchy reported earlier, President Joe Biden reminded us he's still president by announcing a prisoner swap with Russia. A Reuters reporter set up Biden by asking why President Donald Trump didn't free the hostages. "Why didn't he do it when he was president?" replied Biden. White House Senior Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates quickly jumped on a clip from CNN in which Dana Bash described that reply as a "mic drop moment."

Um, it would have been tough for Trump to have freed hostages who hadn't been taken captive while he was president.

Yeah, that wasn't exactly the zinger Bash seems to think it was.

Bash — who's never spoken to a Democrat who supports late-term abortions — gave Bates a nice clip to post, though. No one would have considered that a "mic drop" if Bash hadn't brought it up, but now it is.
