Joe Biden spoke in a press conference yesterday to clear up doubts regarding his competence.
However, it did not work.
He kept saying to the reporters he would go as long as they wanted to ask him questions — a PR move that someone must have told him would make him look more capable. The problem with it was that as long as he was there and still talking, it wasn’t good for him.
Each statement seemed full of these issues, and he was having trouble coming up with coherent ideas.
This video is so painful.
Biden’s brain freezes and he loses track of time in just two minutes.

He went on to another thing. RealClearPolitics reporter Philip Wegmann, shouting at him and saying that he, Biden, hadn’t compared Republicans/people objecting to his ‘voting rights’ push to Bull Connor and George Wallace when he did.
Perhaps the most concerning comment at the press conference was made by the Ukrainian official. Biden seemed to give a green light to Russia for a “minor incursion” into Ukraine, suggesting that it wouldn’t merit a big response. It was a horrendous comment. Someone with no political experience would know that would be a stupid thing to say, yet here’s this guy who spent his whole life in the Senate not getting that. It was made worse by his attempt to explain it in the press conference. The White House tried to clean it up after the press conference, but they didn’t help.
Today, therefore, Biden and the White House did not want to answer any questions regarding Ukraine.
Biden lied about his relationship with Chinese President Xi, and how he traveled 17,000 miles along with him.
Biden says he’s “travelled 17,000 miles” in China with Xi Jinping. He calls it “absolutely a real story.”

The Washington Post has debunked this lie and Biden received three Pinocchios. Yet, he continues to repeat it. I’m not sure it’s something he should brag about, especially when there are questions that the Biden family may be improperly close to China.
The press began to inquire about Russia, Ukraine. One reporter asked about the Ukrainian president rebuking Biden directly, saying that there are no “minor incursions.”
The White House wasn’t going to have any of that. The reporters started shouting for them to leave.
REPORTER : Did you hear the Ukrainian President’s comment that “there are not minor incursions”?

You have a lot of transparency.
But Biden then did something to make it worse, saying something that was incredibly obnoxious – even for him – as the reporters were being ushered out. He said something under his breath when a reporter asked him if he was holding out for Vladimir Putin, Russian leader.
REPORTER: “Why are you waiting on Putin to make the first move, sir?”

“What a stupid question,” Biden said, mocking the Fox reporter, Jacqui Heinrich. This is the real Biden — not the character they wanted to sell us as the nice, congenial Uncle Joe. He’s a nasty, old man who doesn’t like to be challenged in any way.
So, will the White House Correspondents’ Association chastise him for the lack of transparency or the way he treats reporters? Don’t bet on it.
