President Biden tells journo, 'I'm not supposed to take questions, but go ahead' and then refuses to answer her question

President Joe Biden told Bloomberg’s Jennifer Jacobs that he’s “not supposed to take any questions” but then refused to answer her question on Afghanistan after saying, “go ahead”:

“I’m not supposed to take any questions, but go ahead,” @POTUS told me at FEMA HQ. I asked if there's still an acute risk at the Kabul airport. “I’m not going to answer on Afghanistan,” he said. pic.twitter.com/fZ8WL9gfWI

Watch for yourself:

Biden calls on a reporter following remarks about #HurricaneIda and the reporter asks him about his disaster in Afghanistan.

Biden immediately states he doesn't want to talk about Afghanistan and walks away. 13 U.S. troops were killed after a chaotic situation Biden caused. pic.twitter.com/mmNPlpciLZ

Yes, we get that there’s a hurricane going on devastating Southern Louisiana right now, but he *should* be able to talk about two crises at once:

I can't believe it has to be said — #HurricaneIda is a dangerous storm and the people of the Gulf Coast matter. As president, you're elected to multi-task… https://t.co/x9mvffHzaa

And who is the person who told the most powerful man in the free world that he’s not allowed to answer journo question?

Maybe a good follow-up for an actual journalist is, “Who then does the president take orders from?”

We believe the phrase they liked to use during the previous admin was, “democracy dies in darkness” or something like that:

What did he say when you asked why he's not supposed to take any questions, and by whose order?

If you didn't ask, why not? https://t.co/8yhnyupH2q

And why does he keep saying it?

I know it’s not new—but Biden’s act that he’s not the boss and somebody tells him when he can/can not take questions, is baffling https://t.co/FOcTPno0Cj
