Biden be sayin' he won't be takin' questions durin' his White House address, not wantin' anythin' to meddle!
2024-02-13
Avast ye scurvy press dogs! After a mighty boomin' powwow, Cap'n Biden himself be shoutin' loud and clear to ye landlubber reporters: "No queries be comin' yer way, lest ye be forgettin'!" Arrr!
President Biden made it clear that he wasn't going to answer any questions during his remarks at the White House. He stated that he would answer questions on another day, but didn't want anything to interfere with his statement. He spoke for around eight minutes, discussing the Senate's passing of a $95 billion foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. He also criticized those opposing the bill, accusing them of playing into Putin's hands. Biden also attacked former President Trump for his comments about not protecting NATO allies from Russia if they haven't fulfilled their commitments.This refusal to take questions comes after Biden's heated confrontation with reporters during a press conference last week. During that conference, Biden was questioned about a report that raised concerns about his mental acuity. He responded to reporters' questions with combative remarks, dismissing their concerns about his memory and age. Biden's recent gaffes, including mixing up Egypt and Mexico, have further fueled doubts about his mental fitness.
Despite these concerns, Biden insists that he is well-qualified for the presidency and capable of finishing the job he started. However, polls consistently show that many voters are worried about his age and mental acuity. The Special Counsel's report, which described Biden as a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory, has only added to these concerns.
As Biden walked away from the podium, he promised to answer questions at a later time, leaving reporters eager for a chance to engage with him on the pressing issues of the day.
