Joe Biden Slams Hand on Podium: “I’m Not Supposed to Take Any Questions But Go Ahead… I’m Not Going to Answer on Afghanistan Now”

Joe Biden and Jill on Sunday made an unannounced trip to Dover airbase to greet the plane carrying the remains of 13 US servicemen and women.

After the photo op, Joe Biden headed over to FEMA headquarters in DC.

Biden delivered remarks on Hurricane Ida at FEMA headquarters later Sunday — anything to avoid talking about Afghanistan.

Biden called on a reporter following remarks on Hurricane Ida and the reporter asked him about Afghanistan.

“I’m not supposed to take any questions, but go ahead,” Biden said.

Biden slammed his hand on the lectern and said he’s not going to answer any questions on Afghanistan as he walked away.

Having watched the video, i wouldn’t say he ‘slammed’ hand on podium. But he made an error. Keep it up, Joe. I’m ‘rootin’’ for your continued mistakes.

Some quick thinking reporter has got to ask him to his face:
“Mr. President, Who was it that ‘instructed you’ not to take questions on Afghanistan? Is this someone we already know?”

If only there were journalists around when he says things like that......maybe they could ask him such questions.

There are so many times he has said that (and variations) and not once has anybody asked that obvious question.

“Having watched the video, i wouldn't say he ‘slammed’ hand on podium. But he made an error. Keep it up, Joe. I'm ‘rootin’’ for your continued mistakes."

Agree, sometimes in the drive for a dramatic headline, conservative media makes it easy to disgard otherwise valid comments. He not only did not slam his hand down, he did not even make contact as he turned and walked away.

He tells us every single day that he’s not the President of the United States of America. When are we going to acknowledge the we hear him, as a nation?

Biden is coming apart right in front of everyone. Sad really. Dangerous. (And I wouldn’t doubt that Harris is nudging him along.)

Somebody needs to remind him that he is the president. He seems to be retarded and cannot recognize it.
