We’ve reported that Joe Biden’s handlers desperately work to prevent reporters from asking him questions, even insulting world leaders in the process like UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, cutting him off mid-sentence then rushing reporters out of the room.
A complaint was filed by the press about Jen Psaki, White House Press Secretary, being forced to leave. Then Biden’s response was to insult them when he met with the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying that the Indian press was much better behaved than the American press and wouldn’t let Modi take questions, saying, “I think, with your permission, you could not answer questions because they [the press] won’t ask any questions on point.” The White House then removed those remarks from the official transcript of the event.
Today, he took the same shots at reporters during a New Jersey school tour. He even spoke out about his attempts to avoid answering any questions.
As part of his Build Back Better campaign, he went to East End Elementary in North Plainfield.
But the kids weren’t particularly interested in him, according to the Express, as he walked around the class asking how they were. He tried to explain that he loved Legos and was as interested in them as theirs at one table. A few people engaged him, while others continued their activities.
One little boy had a shirt that said “Future President” so at one point Biden bizarrely told him and the rest of the class, “When you’re president, see all these people here? They’re with you all the time, they get to ask you all kinds of questions and you try to figure out how you’re gonna avoid answering them.”

It’s a great idea to shoot at journalists in front of children. But it is.
Then also, what a thing to teach some poor little kid who thinks he wants to be president – that you avoid reporters. You should not shirk the responsibility of answering questions or educating Americans about your activities. He is a shining example of transparency. I’m thinking there are a lot of inspiring things that you might say in such a situation – like you get to help a lot of people or you can serve your country – something simple that the kids might understand. But telling the kid that you try to duck reporters probably isn’t one of them.
Fortunately, I’m willing to bet none of those kids really had any idea of what he was trying to say and most weren’t even listening to him anyway. They didn’t seem to really understand or care who he was.
But he’s probably going to get a talking to by the powers that be for confessing the truth about ducking questions.
