Biden allowed only 30 reporters to attend the press conference and took questions from 10 reporters

The National Archives reported Thursday that Biden launched his first personal press conference at the White House Thursday, more than two months after he took office. This was allegedly to demonstrate the “transparency” of the Biden Administration‘s handling of business and to provide better access for reporters. However, even with that motivation, only 30 reporters were allowed into the press conference and 10 were allowed to ask Biden questions.

Ms. Emerald Robinson, White House correspondent for Newsmax, was one of the most conservative reporters allowed into the White House, and was placed directly behind the room, away from Biden. Robinson tweeted that Biden had apparently “rehearsed the questions to be asked by the main media,” pointing out that Biden was looking at notes and a list of reporters. Robinson asked on Twitter, “Biden, is this how you’re reassuring Americans that you’re capable of doing the president’s job?”

During the press conference, Biden also displayed “senior moments” and bizarre gaffes, the National Archives reported.

After just four minutes, Biden said, “There’s one more thing that we’re doing, I might add,” and then Biden ran out of postscript, mumbling instead, “Did I give you guys too long of an answer? Because if you don’t want the details …… I don’t know how much detail you guys want about immigration.” Finally he simply said, “Maybe I’ll stop there.”

Biden was once asked about ending the filibuster, Biden’s answer was, “I’m going to say something outrageous, I’m not that calculating in terms of getting things done in the Senate, if the votes are close, the best way to get things done, no matter what ……”, and then immediately went no further The reporters below can be heard snickering. Biden finally had no choice but to add a sentence, “We have done into a lot of things. “

In another puzzling moment, Biden said he came to the U.S. Senate 120 years ago. Biden’s exact words were, “On the filibuster, I think we should go back 120 years to when I came to the U.S. Senate when the filibuster first existed.”
