Joe Biden snaps at Post reporter when asked about ‘big guy’ reference: ‘Why do you ask such a dumb question?”

WASHINGTON — President Biden lashed out Thursday when asked why he’s called the “big guy” in an FBI informant file accusing him of accepting a $5 million bribe from a Ukrainian businessman while vice president.

“Why did the Ukraine FBI informant file refer to you as the ‘big guy’, President Biden? Why is that term continuously applied?” The Post asked Biden at an event focused on reducing corporate junk fees.

“Why do you ask such a dumb question?” the 80-year-old president snapped.

An informant told the FBI in June 2020 that an executive at Ukrainian gas company Burisma confided that he bribed Joe and Hunter Biden and called the elder Biden the “big guy,” according to congressional sources who read the file.

Republicans say the nickname’s use is significant because it was not publicly known at the time. Nearly four months later, The Post reported in October 2020 that an email from first son Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop said the “big guy” was due 10% in a business deal with CEFC China Energy.

Will any of these pathetic so-called reporters ever tire of being spoken to with such contempt and disrespect? Surely one of them must be wondering why they’re all thrown in for this nasty old criminal.

““Why do you ask such a dumb question, whipper-snapper?”

Fixed it.

No such thing as a dumb question, and to quote Mitt Romney......”you brought this on yourself”

Now that they are digging, I’d like to hear a reporter ask him to tell the story that ends with, “and, son of a bitch, he got fired.”

Is he ever bothered by his crimes?

Let’s see them ask that question!

“Excuse me President Biden, but you asked us to find the money, and we did. It’s right there in your tax return. $10 million dollars. So now what is your comment?”

If he were to say "dumb" as in the answer is clear, he might have a point.

Why doesn’t some ‘reporter’ ask him how he paid for $15 mm in real estate. Jull’s fantastic book? Hunter’s half million dollar ‘stickman’ finger paintings?
