Biden gives first press conference - BBC News

For the first time as president, US President Joe Biden answered reporters' questions on the crisis at the US-Mexico border, the filibuster, and former President Trump.

The president, who is known for giving long answers, did not disappoint.

The biggest story is that he actually had to call on pre approved people with pre approved questions, such bull shit

[ServeJesus]

Just think, a team spent MONTHS prepping Joe Biden for that press conference.

This editing is extremly generous. If anyone watched the entire livestream it was an absolute travesty. Going on ranting about things that didnt have any relevance to the question.

[nearsightedfromthefarside]

It’s like a weekend at Bernie’s.... they just carry him around and prop him up when it’s needed...

[sarahe]

“120 years ago” seems to be a really long time for us!

[MusicMatters]

A very generous edit from the BBC. I encourage everyone to watch the whole thing on YouTube, especially when he is asked when the Media will be allowed to see what is really going on at border control. His answer is really concerning.

Those responsible for inflicting this vegetable on us should be jailed.

God this was so pathetic, he calls out a reporters name and then reads out the scripted answer already prepared for him!!!! Just embarrassing, I expect the mainstream media will be telling everyone how great he was, what a joke!!!

[SamirKhan-yygy]

How is this guy the commander in chief of America!?? This is absolute madness. There are geniuses living in the USA and this is the best they could come up with...??!!

0:01 It wasn't his "first major press conference"; it was his first press conference, period.

[sarahlaslett]

It is sad and pitiful to see this elderly man put in a position he clearly can't handle. Those around him have something to answer for.

[thetrapdoorpig]

This is embarrassing, why did the democrat party put forward someone who is elderly and seems borderline senile was there really no one better?

[unvaccinatedAndPureBlood]

Is this heavily editted? Because the original had all the dementia and it was embarrassing.

[louthegiantcookie]

"We did 17 takes, and THAT was the best one".

[robertsoltysiak]

This is not a press conference he had his own media giving questions and he had the answers right in front of him people need to wake up

[EricBlair-jgux]

You edited out the bit where his brain short circuited mid sentence. Tut tut bbc

[Mr_Rabbit]

An elderly man that can barely finish a sentence is the "leader" of one of the most powerful countries in the world. This world never ceases to amaze me. I almost feel sorry for him.

[dusk]

List of pre-approved reporters with pre-approved questions and he still fucks it up?

[KGBTAZ]

YouTube cleanup crew hard at work I see.

[alistairthompson]

The BBC doesn't even mention him messing up the press conference
