Jill Biden lashed out at WH staffers for not stopping Joe’s solo presser: report

First lady Jill Biden tore into White House staffers after they failed to cut off President Biden’s second solo press conference in January — when her husband kept taking questions even as then-press secretary Jen Psaki signaled to the president to wrap it up, according to a report. 

President Biden was grilled at the Jan. 19 news conference about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, tensions between Washington and Moscow over Ukraine and the supply chain crisis that was causing a shortage of goods across the country. 

Following the presser, which went on for about two hours, Jill Biden popped into a meeting of top White House officials who were rehashing the president’s performance, the New York Times reported.​

“She pointedly asked the group, which included the president, why nobody stepped in to stop it, according to a person who was in the room,” the outlet said. “Where was the person, she demanded, who was supposed to end the news conference?”

The Times report, describing how the first lady has become a favored surrogate for the president ahead of the midterm elections, noted that she has been protective of her husband and even took part in hiring White House staffers and press aides, including vetting Psaki alongside the president. 

At the January presser, the president had been answering questions from a pre-arranged list of reporters for roughly an hour when Psaki — clad in an eye-catching pink blazer — stood up in an apparent attempt to bring the proceedings to a close. But the president kept going, prompting Psaki to stand up again about 20 minutes later and walk to a door about 50 feet away from the seating area in another apparent attempt to end the questioning.

“Where was the person, she demanded, who was supposed to end the news conference?”

That would be the President.

If we had one.

Bet that’s nothing now. Wouldn’t want to be the dimwit staffer who booked her for the Eagles-Cowboys game appearance.

I’d love to hear what she really said. “You idiots! He’s a vegetable, you know he’s a vegetable, so act like you know it! Next thing you know he’s going to be bitching about his diaper and babbling about high-fiving some dead person again!”

Jill is desperate to hang on to the ‘First Lady’ gig ... she can’t keep it without FJB. Freeze drying once he kicks the bucket might be an option ... very life-like & would probably do better than the current version (no nappies to change, either).

Hopefully GOP will dog him with impeachment threats and 25th amendment removal for inability to perform duties for lack of mental competence.

They wouldn’t need to actually get to the point where he’s removed, just weaken him enough to the point where he can’t do any harm.

Eagles/Cowboys game: I expect the Jill did that by herownself. She was upfront being part of the sing-along before the game. She no doubt made that appearance to avoid going to Portland. And the heels always let you know she was ready to party.

I wondered here about how his handlers would willingly allow Joe to talk freely as if he were still sane and cognitively healthy. Dangerous unless they want him to exit soon.

If GOP wins, they need some way to force Biden to undergo an independent competency exam, neuro-psych testing appointed by Congress and make it public.
