WATCH: Biden Blasted for Barking at Reporter to ‘Shush up’ During Japan G-7 Summit: ‘If Trump Does That…’

President Joe Biden’s critics called out the world leader for telling a reporter to “shush up” while he was meeting with the Australian prime minister at the latest G-7 summit in Japan.

Annoyed Twitter users slammed Biden as condescending for the command, with some pointing out that if former President Donald Trump had done that to an overzealous member of the press, he wouldn’t have heard the end of it from his usual critics.

The brief but tense moment happened while Biden was speaking with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese this weekend at the G-7 Summit in Hiroshima, Japan.

The first reporter asked, “Mr. President, how concerned are you about the debt talks at home?” Initially, Biden appeared cordial, gently replying, “Not at all.” In response to a follow-up on the topic, Biden claimed, “This goes in stages. I’ve been in these negotiations before.” . . .

Apparently annoyed by the interruption, Biden sat up in his chair, squinted at the reporter, and coldly said, “Shush up, OK?” He then cracked a wry smile and said, “Thank you.” (Read more from “WATCH: Biden Blasted for Barking at Reporter to ‘Shush up’ During Japan G-7 Summit: ‘If Trump Does That…’” HERE)
