#NBCNews #2024 #Republicans
I was never this well spoken or knew anyone well spoken at that age
Inb4 he gets banned from anything open to the public
I mean seriously, why do people still have faith in politicians? The one bipartisan agreement that remains lies on the idea that the entirety of our government needs to be replaced. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it.
So, let’s fire all of them
Quinn we need young fighters like you!!!! Keep it up!!!💙💙💙
Some kids get into pro wrestling, some get into video games, some get into politics. What do they have in common? They are all fake LUL
I hope he dosent change and follows through on this passion, we honesty in journalism again
So sad to see the anchors on fox belittling this young man. Ironic since they are supposedly the real journalist, but only ever ask softball questions. We need more independent journalists like him!
Still waiting on nbc to actually practice journalism. Ie biden bribery questions
😅😅 why doesnt he ask Biden about his son?
Inspiring to see smart young future journalist✨
Why hasn’t ANYONE asked any Republican if Biden or any other Democrat president takes the exact steps that Trump did, do you promise #1. Tell your justice department not to go after them and #2. As a precaution and to prove you believe nothing is wrong, would you immediately pardon that Democrat if you were elected?
Tough question which Ice cream you like is best question
They deflect by talking about how he will be a politician
This reminds me of when I was in 4th grade and after watching basketball on TV, I raised my arms in front of the tallest girl in gym class to prevent her from throwing the ball into the hoop. She told me to stop. Lol. No one played like that and I was unsure of myself but looking back I totally did the right thing.
15 year Paid journalist
He’s a mainstream plant. This is clear.
Good job kid, asking questions that people on these corrupt networks refuse to ask.
No point asking DeSantis anything – his campaign is fully zombified.
So a man battered him to prevent a 1st amendment activity?
So nice of them to link his socials in the description
Oh would you look at that, “Beto”, “Biden” signs in his room. Another partisan hack being used by the media to push their agenda.
Weird how he only seems to confront Republicans and doesn’t seem to ask Democrats like Newsom or anyone anything tough.
And who is funding this kid to go around and ask politicians questions? I’m willing to bet he’s getting money from the DNC.
He literally has signed MAGA hats in his room
Its interesting he isnt experiencing mental exhaustion yet. Even at his age I felt jaded and disillusioned with the whole charade. People pretebding to be religious, donationa from corporations, scandals, lies everywhere, false promises, racism… i was coming out of high school when obama was president and the things people would say about him… I’m proud of this kid. Hes got mental fortitude.
Lol afraid of a 15 year old
why does nobody ask dems what they plan on doing about election interference with open border and no voter I’d policies seems like they aren’t as worried about it as they pretend.
Desantis is a weak and very fragile human. Anyone who needs to ban books because they hurt someone’s feelings and is afraid of his children knowing how the USA history is based on the sin of slavery, genocide and hatred of anyone who was born with melanin!!! It’s really that simple.
They won’t allow tough questions around Biden that’s for sure
Kid is merely a liberal hack, he got all Googly eyes when biden talked to him..
At least liberals haven’t attacked the capitol
This kid will be dead in the Marcos Era.
Stalin: this kid does not exist
Wingcuck energy
From what I saw here, he’s just another partisan hack in training. I love that his “hard-hitting” question to Beto was just peddling more of the Democrat-approved Russia hoax nonsense.
No wonder NBC loves him so much.
Protect this kid at all cost!
Cute effort but when you are so clearly biased it’s hard to take you seriously. Being a child makes that even tougher.
So, this is how true passion sounds like!
He can’t ask Biden the tough questions 😂😂 he doesn’t know the answers
Sad that a kid has to ask tough questions unlike NBC, CNN, Fox News all political news hacks. Do yourself a favor and stop watching news it’s all bias and full of crap.
First of all kids stay the heck away from Ron Satan DeSantis he is just evil everything out of his mouth will be a lie he hates anything that has to do with love so does his wife she’s evil as well I feel sorry for his children. His children will turnout to be little demons because they have his blood. And who’s the little tiny guy that took you out come on
I hope he continues to do what he is doing. We need more young people in the media like this young man who is respectful and obviously very intelligent. I admire his courage to ask hard questions and hope he never stops doing the right thing because another person feels uncomfortable.
This is Greta Thunberg 2.0 so I’ll pass
I get the feeling both of them are smarter than you 😂
Hopefully they don’t work his poor little butt too hard 😂
Ask Biden what he was doing in china, Ukraine, and Russia
I thought the youth weren’t interested in politics? It’s like everything I was told was a lie🤔 and someone else has said on here, these are the questions ALL politicians should be dealing with at EVERY press conference or media event
Brilliant 🤩🤩👍
Dont ask about Bidens dogs. Worse off than Hitlers were. 😬
Kids at that age like him nowadays would rather talk about being “famous YouTubers” and “gamers” However this kid is different and I am inspired by him
DeSantis is blown away by a 15 year old. Ridiculous
Let’s see him ask Biden about all the money he’s gotten from Hunter’s “associates.” Or why he’s more interested in funding more death in Ukraine than helping US citizens in Hawaii. Biden will just cuss at him… If they let him anywhere near a tough question.
What a great kid💪🇺🇲
The kids more qualified than all the candidates combined.
All the “real” journalists don’t work for msm. That is for sure.
Who are the “real” journalists?
Yah the Biden posters on his house say everything I need to know about him.
What a brilliant boy. His family must be very proud of him.
Psyop
I heard he’s transitioning next week😂
Is the teen enlightened?
If asking about January 6 is a tough question. Then this kid has a long road ahead.
That kids face in the rain and his open hand after his question was perfect. That was THE face of a journalist. Kid? You’re the future of journlism. Study Hunter S. Thompson and his brilliant writing, stay a journlist. Make em all squirm. You’re not alone. Always travel with atleast one other journalist because people are dirty. Meet Jeremy Scahill as soon as possible and ask him to be your mentor.
Keep up the good work. 👍
Political junkie
Desantis is gross
I’m so happy he’s still getting out there asking questions.
You go Quinn
Liberal Biden living mask muncher
You will make a great journalist, you keep asking the tough questions
When asking politicians tough questions is news…American media is so weak
I’d wager $100 that one or both of his parents are professors, politician, or lawyers. By his book collection, its obvious that he comes from a background where education/reading is extremely important.
What an impressive kid!!
Standard Republican politics, any questions are bad!
Never gonna get hired in mainstream media asking real questions kid. 😂 sad that a child has more balls than most adults.
Awesome work Quinn, never stop pushing for answers!
Kids smarter than all of fox news combined.
Ewww how sickening
Very cool 😎
He’s going to be the next Steve Kornacki
This is all cute and noble while he’s a kid and nobody can actually touch him. But if he continues this as an adult journalist, reality’s gonna hit him as hard as the two bullets he’ll take in the back of the head.
If he is a good person he won’t become a politician
Already a feature on MSNBC? Guys got a bright future as an “independent” journalist plant
Time will tell if he’s a good journalist… The moment his bias begins to peer through… Another one bites the dust just another wannabe journalist.
Journalist Greta, who writes his questions and supports him?
Get a job at MSNBC, all you have to do is never ask Democrats anything that will expose their corruption and Extreme hypocrisy
This is why Gov DeSantis and republicans are going after education he wants to make sure no kid grows up to have this level of critical thought so they can be indoctrinated to behave and think as they want too
I slways find it heart warming. We never left a man behind 😂
today’s quality of journalism is so that teenagers without filters can easily become famous. It’s pathetic for the journalists who censor themselves and big respect to younger generation which doesn’t understand those “filters” “formalities” which drives entire mass media industry
I’m 42, and beyond ready to pass the torch. You go Quinn.
Policies set today will effect Quinn more than me. We should take youth seriously
Go Quinn
He’s proof the Republicans are afraid of out youth.
When a kid has more credibility than FOX News.
I’m proudly gen Z the don’t f**k with us or you’ll find out generation.
Okay good for the boy🫶🏾 but this sounds like a paid advertisement🤦🏻♀️🤷🏼♀️I hope the boy chooses a different career cause is a ☠️environment to be in! a tough question would’ve been “How many under covers participated in Jan 6” 🤔👌🏾✌🏾
A true politician would stop, answer the questions and keep it moving. Desantis cant do that because he cant improvise off script because everything hes saying is an act if pretense
Which ” tough questions” has he asked Joe Biden?
Breeding more liberal “journalists ” 😂
We’re probably looking at a future president right here.
Psyop
I would like to see him ask tough questions to both sides impartially, it seems as if he is soft on democrats, would like to see a journalist who loves truth more than emotions, anyways all the best to this young man.
Kids a dork
Once a coward, forever a coward.
15 years old that likes biden? good luck boy
So he’s a Democrat activist
Not a big surprise. They usually start them young.
Are we gonna act like the pic on the left at 2:21 is ok?? Great job Democrats.
Great marketing move using a kid who supposedly dosnt pick a side but only asks questions to republicans. The kid ain’t smart he’s being used. All these pics with joe biden, where are his questions, why isn’t he asking joe questions? This kid ain’t independent, this kids a democratic tool for manipulation!
Being that he is educating himself his questions will be unintentionally tough questions.
This is embarrassing for the mainstream media who often times fail at doing their job. This kid has more guts that most reporters on tv.
I love how we need minors to ask tough questions because established journalists in the mainstream media all they do is lob softballs so they get access. Kudos to this kid.
