There are a couple of things we've become familiar with during the Biden administration. One is the view of President Joe Biden's back as he walks away from the press; the other is his handlers herding the press out of the room while he sits there grinning like an idiot.
Biden graced the press with his presence for a couple of minutes today before asking them to "step out" — ignoring all of their shouted questions about his son's refusal to comply with a congressional subpoena. He then stood there for a few seconds before walking out.

We're surprised the press didn't just do what he said and leave.
Nap time waits for no man.

What can he say that isn't going to blow up Hunter's case in one form or another? LOL Between a rock and a very hard spot.

The White House is leaving it up to Karine Jean-Pierre to deal with all of the questions about Hunter Biden, which she's not going to get into except to say that Joe and Jill are very proud of their son.
Coward.

It was a dangerous time to be a journalist under President Donald Trump, but at least Trump interacted with the press, and often.
He always has that smirk.

That gets to us too.
With a wink and a smile. 😡

Reminder: Biden's last formal open press conference was NOVEMBER 2022.

Why does the media never mention this? 🤔
They can't force him to have a press conference. If you'll remember, the White House press corps actually complained during the early days of the Obama administration about the lack of access to the president, so it's a little surprising they're not saying anything with Biden.
