Biden appeared on ABC with George Stephanopoulos and during his time was asked about the sexual harassment scandal with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. What was omitted from the interview was the President being asked about his own sexual misconduct allegations while serving in the US Senate.

We're nearing the 100-day mark in Joe Biden's presidency and we've learned a lot about the longtime American politician. Some things we knew about the 78-year-old before taking office while others we're seeing play out in real time. 

The buzz of the Sunday morning talk shows was a CNN interview with Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple. The writer called out the network for letting anchor Chris Cuomo conduct glowing, “love-a-thon” interviews with his now-scandal-plagued brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

"A year ago, we were hit with a virus that was met with silence and spread unchecked, denials for days, weeks, then months," Biden said.

Charlotte City Council members are torn over a comprehensive plan for single-family zoning. One of the most outspoken is Braxton Winston, who believes the zoning had helped segregate American cities with the same happening in the Queen's City.

"It is time for us as adults to stop playing politics with the lives of our children," said Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson. "We can clearly see that they are hurting. It is time for us to stop this. It is time for us to stop worrying about our political future."

The "evidence" behind this notion is that since the US and others were frozen due to the COVID-19 pandemic, carbon emissions we're at extremely low levels. While that may be true, shutting down the economy hurts everyone and there are no long term studies behind any other of their logic.  

WBT's Pat McCrory Show with Bo Thompson is Charlotte's top-rated morning show once again. Thank you to everyone who made this possible.
