Biden Mimics Reporters Shouting Questions, Declines to Answer Any as Midterm Elections Loom
President Biden shocked reporters Wednesday by mimicking their attempts to ask questions during an Oval Office media availability with Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
Biden smiled in apparent amusement as members of the daily press pool shouted questions — before looking with wide eyes at one reporter and rapidly moving his own mouth to imitate her attempt to question him.
The Herzog sitdown was Biden’s second event Wednesday at which he did not take questions from the press as he faces political headwinds heading into the Nov. 8 midterm elections — including the worst inflation since 1981 and new GDP data that could confirm a recession is underway when it is released Thursday.
Biden, who turns 80 next month, has developed a record of chiding the press corps during his time in office — continuing former President Donald Trump’s habit of blasting journalists with whom he disagreed, though on occasion Biden has apologized later.
Biden previously ridiculed the press corps on Oct. 4 for their standard — and longtime — practice of shouting questions as reporters were ushered out of an event focused on legal barriers to abortion and contraceptives, telling guests, “They’re among the only press in the world that does this. Seriously. Seriously.” (Read more from “Biden Mimics Reporters Shouting Questions, Declines to Answer Any as Midterm Elections Loom” HERE)
