Joe Biden was questioned about pardoning WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange during a town hall event in Oregon on Saturday night.

Biden said that he would not consider it and that the US government has “a lot on that guy.”

The question was asked by conservative videographer Brandon Brown, who captured audio of him speaking and says that Biden jabbed him in the chest while responding.

Brown said that he had hidden the camera as video while speaking to Biden was not allowed, per the Secret Service, without “explicit permission.” He also told the Gateway Pundit that prior to him asking the question, Biden was seen stroking the cheek of a young girl who appeared to be around seven years old and giving her official White House candy.

I went to a (not) town hall today to ask Biden if it was time to finally Pardon Julian Assange. I’m paraphrasing but he said “Probably not” You could see him think, & he said something to the effect of “No, I’m not. On Assange; We have a lot on that guy.” https://t.co/Nzm1dsMgtm

Assange faces charges in the US under the Espionage Act for his publication of the Iraq and Afghan War Logs. If convicted he could face a maximum sentence of 175 years for the “crime” of publishing material that the US government did not want the population to know.

The legal team representing the publisher is currently trying to fight an ordered extradition to the United States.

“I asked because press freedom is top of mind right now with us propping up places like Ukraine that have no press freedom and also ban political parties, as we seem to be headed for here, at least with certain republicans,” Brown told the Gateway Pundit when asked why he chose this specific question. “It’s all a slippery slope, and we are sliding faster and faster.”

The Committee to Protect Journalists has opposed his extradition, saying that “the prosecution of the WikiLeaks founder (Julian #Assange) in the United States would set a deeply harmful legal precedent that would allow the prosecution of reporters for news gathering activities and must be stopped.”

Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich just can’t help regurgitating the woke agenda and has made a habit of railing against white people, President Trump and the United States.

At a presser last week, Popovich turns his sights on Christopher Columbus with a woke-worthy diatribe filled with dramatic pauses and righteous white liberal indignation.

“I am a little confused about our city….and why its Indigenous People’s Day/Columbus Day….Columbus Day…Columbus? I mean, he initiated a new world genocide….that’s what he did.”

“And beginning with him, and what he set in motion, and what followed, meant the annihilation of every indigenous person in Hispaniola…which was Haiti and the Dominican Republic today.  That’s what he did. He took slaves.  He mutilated.  He murdered. And we are going to say slash, and honor him?”

Popovish’s competition in the woke olympics has been going on for years.

In 2017, The Gateway Pundit reported on Popovich being so triggered by President Trump,  after he called for a boycott of the NFL because of their national anthem protests, that he went on rant on

“There has to be an uncomfortable element in the discourse for anything to change. You know, whether it’s the LGBT movement, or you know women’s suffrage, race, it doesn’t matter. People have to be made to feel uncomfortable, and especially white people because we’re comfortable. We still have no clue of what being born white means,” Popovich began.

The very white NBA coach also said that there ‘really is no such thing as whiteness’ and that we kind of made that up.

Popovich’s self loathing continued, “You got a lead, yes, because you were born white, you have advantages that are systemically, culturally, psychologically there. And they have been built up and cemented for hundreds of years. But many people can’t look at it. It’s too difficult.”

The same year, Popovich went on an unhinged attack  against President Trump in a pre-game interview.

Forbes reported, “Usually, things happen in the world and you go to work and you’ve got your family and you’ve got your friend and you do what you do,” he told reporters before Game One of the NBA Western Conference Finals. “But to this day I feel like there’s a cloud, a pall, over the whole country, in a paranoid surreal sort of way that’s got nothing to do with the Democrats losing the election.”

“It’s got to do with the way one individual conducts himself. It’s embarrassing. It’s dangerous to our institutions and what we all stand for and what we expect the country to be. But for this individual, he’s at a game show and everything that happens begins and ends with him, not our people or our country.”
