New Report Skewers Joe ‘Hider in Chief’ Biden – Opinion

We’ve done a lot of reporting on Joe Biden’s hiding from the press.

But we’re not the only folks who have noticed. It’s prompted a lot of comment, not just about Biden ducking the press, but his staff’s fervent efforts to try to wall him off from questions.

Here’s what it looked like yesterday. It’s not good to see the lack of transparency and hiding. Biden smiles at his family as they shout for the media to go.

The GOP response folks aren’t being silent about this. They dropped a new report that lays out all Biden’s hiding, even calling him “Hidin’ Biden” and the “Hider-in-Chief.”

Biden has made it harder on the media, in part because he’s “spending three times as many weekends” away at Camp David or his homes in Delaware, the report shows.

Turns out the American Presidency Project keeps records on this kind of thing and they confirm that Biden has given fewer press conferences and interviews than the past five presidents, so the GOP seems on target with calling Biden the “least accessible.”

Biden hasn’t done an interview since Nov. 8, when he did a very limited interview with a local station. That interview showed why he generally doesn’t give them because he claimed that his bad polling numbers were due to Americans having “psychological scars” from the pandemic. It isn’t because he has issues or they have him accurately pegged. Americans who believe that he is evil are wrong and have been scarred.

When even the media has to admit there’s a problem when it comes to Biden, you know it’s bad.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed that Biden would likely be involved in a “whole bevy of interviews” to sell his agenda three weeks ago, but he hasn’t had one since.

Now, Biden is giving an interview to the Tonight Show’s Jimmy Fallon as we reported earlier. But no offense to Fallon, but that’s hardly a serious interview. A late-night interview almost guarantees that it will be a softball game.

There are still many serious issues that remain unanswered. These include Russia, Ukraine, and inflation. We can almost guarantee that a mistake will be made, but Joe is Joe. Whether Jill Biden and the Democrats want to acknowledge the issues or not, there’s a reason that the Biden team is working overtime making Biden less accessible.
