The White House press is tired of not having access to President Joe Biden.
Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre brushed off their concerns over the lack of press conferences with Biden because he answers their “shouted questions.”
Totes the same thing, darling:
JEAN-PIERRE: “I mean, the President takes shouted questions — I understand, John. I understand. I understand. I’ve dealt with this question about three times already. I understand that it is — it is — it is the job of you all to ask this question to me, totally get that. And that’s not a problem at all. But, certainly, the President, many times, has stand — has stood in front of all of you, has taken questions on his own, because he wanted to see what was on your minds, he wanted to see what the questions you all were going to ask him. And he wanted to answer them directly. That has happened multiple times, many times during this administration. And that will certainly continue to be. When it comes to a formal press conference, I don’t have anything to share with you at this time.”
The reporter reminded Jean-Pierre that previous administrations had press conferences. The press hasn’t had a conference with Biden in a long time.
Jean-Pierre: “So I’ll say this: It is also unprecedented that a president takes as many shouted questions as this president has, and he has.”
The press was not happy. They’re not going to be sheep when it comes to this. Granted, who knows how many of them would ask Biden real questions:
Jean-Pierre chuckled, and said, “Okay. Well, we’ll certainly get the data and share that with all of you … I hear you. I hear you on the press conference, on a formal press conference. We get this probably every couple of months when you guys ask us about a formal press conference. I don’t have anything to share with all of you at this time, And I’ll just leave it there.” She then moved on.
