Biden’s First Troubled Press Conference, Images Expose Prepared Reporters List
President Joe Biden held his first press conference and appearing to rely heavily on notes in front of him and using a list to call on certain reporters in the room.
In one response Biden seemed to lose his thought to an answer and looked down at his notes to call on a reporter.
An image from his ‘live’ presser shows a list of reporters numbered 1 through 9 as if Biden is supposed to follow the list on who to call on.
Zoomed in further shows the reporters numbered on Biden’s notes.
“OK um, hang on. Uh. Sorry. OK, how about Yamiche?” Biden called on one reporter from his list.
“Thanks so much, Mr. President, you’ve said over and over again that immigrants shouldn’t come to this country. Right now this isn’t the time to come. That message is not being received. Instead, the perception of you that got you elected as a moral, decent man is the reason why a lot of immigrants are coming to this country and entrusting you with unaccompanied minors. How do you resolve that tension and how are you choosing which families can stay, which can go, given the fact that even though with Title 42 there are some families that are staying? And is there a timeline for when we won’t be seeing these overcrowded facilities run by CPB when it comes to unaccompanied minors?” Yamiche asked.
“Well, look, I guess I should be flattered people are coming because I’m a nice guy. That’s the reason why it’s happening, that I’m a decent man or however that’s phrased. That’s why, you know, that’s why they’re coming, because they know Biden is a good guy. Truth of the matter is, nothing has changed,” Biden responded.
A reporter for Daily Wire wrote on Twitter, “Biden has his answers written down on note cards.”
