Biden's remarks about Israel (and when he woke up) spark questions

About 12 hours after Israel came under an attack from Hamas, the White House released a statement.

This afternoon President Biden delivered remarks revolving around what happened after he woke up this morning:

BIDEN: "When I got up this morning and started this at 7:30, 8:00, my calls..."

Was that his first briefing on the attacks, which started at approx. 11:30 p.m. ET and continued throughout the night? pic.twitter.com/kgG6B6LGwk

"Was that his first briefing on the attacks, which started at approx. 11:30 p.m. ET and continued throughout the night?"

This is a fair question to ask

Maybe somebody can ask KJP about it Monday (she'll lie of course but it's worth a try). 

Nobody woke the president to let him know that one of our staunchest allies was under attack https://t.co/I1bt6a3yTv

We have questions too, as do many others:

Is it White House policy to not wake the President up while one of our strongest allies is being attacked? https://t.co/MJ4T57YjEu

Even if you believe he was awake at 7:30am and taking calls, that’s nearly a full *8 hours* after war broke out without any comment from him. https://t.co/wJzLtDMOS9

Biden couldn’t be bothered to deal with Israel for a solid 12 hours https://t.co/fQhvJ6IOAm

Why does he sound proud of this?

Our nation’s greatest ally in the Middle East was under terrorist attack and Joe’s bedtime couldn’t be interrupted. Disgraceful. https://t.co/b7vQqzIsFz

I was up all night keeping up on the facts. I have no government office.

What if we stopped electing leaders that need to be in bed by the end of Jeopardy? https://t.co/0QF1B9JOCI

Biden stays awake that late, eh?
