Biden comparing Trump to Herbert Hoover a ‘cheap shot’, descendant says

Margaret Hoover takes issue with president and rival for using predecessor who battled Great Depression as example of failure

Joe Biden is taking a cheap shot" whenever he gleefully compares Donald Trump to Herbert Hoover, a prominent political commentator said, defending the 31st president whose single term in office coincided with the Great Depression.

It's such a cheap shot," Margaret Hoover, the president's great granddaughter and a commentator for CNN and PBS, told Politico. If a person spent a minute studying Herbert Hoover's contributions, one would come to see that these political jabs have obscured a shining example of an uncommon public servant."
