President Joe Biden lost his temper at a TikTok star during a special White House meeting with social media influencers, even threatening to throw his phone across the room.

Independent journalist and social media darling Jonathan M. Katz started recording Biden, pressing him about his support for Israel during the war in Gaza. He asked him what he would do to prevent the ‘genocide’ that was taking place with American-funded weapons.

The president tried to sidestep the questions, claiming he was working to reduce casualties in Gaza. But when Katz pressed him on the issue, the president grew impatient.

‘I know you’re a typical press guy, you’re grabbing me in front of all this … but I trust you about as far as I can throw your phone,’ Biden said angrily. ‘I have a good arm man. I can throw a long way.’

Katz said he was approached by aides after the exchange and escorted away from the president.

He posted the video on his TikTok account which has roughly 70,000 followers. The video has been viewed 28,700 times.

Katz wrote on his Racket news website that he was surprised to get an invitation to the White House in April that included a host of left-leaning social media stars and celebrities.

I trust you as far as I can throw your phone? That doesn’t even make sense.

[I want the USA back]

Joe should not have access to the nuclear codes. He should have been escorted away, not the tictoc guy.

[Tom Tetroxide]

Didn’t Bill Murray throw a cellphone as well as Russell Crowe?

I believe Barry Sotero has the “Football..” (probably now called the soccer ball) and that should scare the merde out of you.

Trump should sponsor a “National Cell Phone Trowing Event” and call out Biden to enter the throwing contest. Winner could win a night in the Lincoln bedroom next year when Trump moves in.

I listened to it. Biden didn’t seem to lose his temper are far as I can tell. Headline baiting over not much of anything.

[Eli Kopter]

Especially when they juice him up with uppers. Look for signs of profuse sweating, paranoia, and flushed appearance. Sooner or later he will pass out at the microphone.

I have a good arm man. I can throw a long way.’

Not as good as Staubach’s.

Unstable dementia patients often engage in violent outbursts.

Yes, they do.

Sundowners.

[Fireone]

This isn’t due to dementia, Joe’s been a hothead his entire life. A hothead bully of sorts.

[Elsie]

Joe thought it was the DEVIL!!!

Look at them horns!

[Elsie]

Amen!
