Reporter Asks *the* Question of the Day at Conclusion of Joe Biden ‘Presser,’ Gets No Answer – Opinion

President Biden held what we were told was a “press conference” today in which he gaslit the country once again by telling struggling Americans that everything was going to be okay, portraying himself as a hero for all, and not shouldering one iota of the blame for the rising cost of everything including the food items people are buying in order to prepare their Thanksgiving dinners.

There was also the standard generous serving of out-and-out incoherence. This is a tradition at every public event that the Oval Office occupier opens his mouth.

Though this was ostensibly billed as a “press conference,” Biden took no questions from the members of the press who were assembled to document what he said and who no doubt hoped they’d get the opportunity to ask some questions. This, too, has become an all too common occurrence at so-called “pressers” involving POTUS – that is, the ones his handlers don’t scrap as a preventative measure against further embarrassment, of course.

But something happened at the end of today’s event that I believe epitomizes the sorry state of affairs between the Biden White House and the press corps, many of who are growing increasingly frustrated at the lack of access to Biden in the midst of all that’s going on in the country – and are saying so. No, elevator music wasn’t played at the end of this particular gathering. Numerous reporters were shouting questions at Biden, one of them literally asking him to answer.

Portnoy is the White House correspondent on CBS News Radio and clarified what the full question was. He also explained why Biden was still being asked this question.

The specific question was, “When will you tell us what you discussed with Xi Jinping and other leaders? When will you answer our questions, sir?”

(It’s been over a week since the Xi summit, and Americans still haven’t heard from their president about what he discussed…) https://t.co/KHPiEmoHIh

It was hard to believe that Biden, looking out of place, walked off the podium as reporters Portnoy and others tried desperately to get him back to speak.

Biden flees from the podium, without answering any questions.

As I’ve said before, none of this is normal, not the President routinely not taking questions from reporters, not the hiding, not the customary blank stares we keep getting, his handlers constantly intervening and sometimes upstaging him, none of it. It’s really no wonder that nearly 50 percent of the American people are questioning Biden’s mental fitness to lead at this point.

Something is not right here. This is very, very wrong. And from the tone of Portnoy’s question, it sounds like even some in the media are noticing it, too.
