White House denies Joe Biden was ‘upstaged’ by Boris Johnson during meeting

The White House has denied that President Joe Biden felt “upstaged” by Prime Minister Boris Johnson during their meeting at the Oval Office on Wednesday.

When asked by a reporter if Mr Biden ignored questions earlier in the day because he felt he had been “upstaged”, press secretary Jen Psaki rubbished the suggestion.

“I think the president has not spent a moment worrying about it,” she said.

After Mr Johnson had answered questions from British reporters, the president signalled that it was time for the US press to leave, before any journalists had time to ask him a question.

Joe was upstaged by the chair before Johnson arrived.

[Swifter]

He has taken 5 questions in the last week with an average of 7 words per answer. What a joke that is.

Lol Johnson pulled a fast one by not telling Potatohead’s puppeteers he was going to take questions, hence the mass panic when it goes off script.

[MIKEJONES-vyoo]

he upstaged someone half past dead, well done bogsy, top fucking draw

[theminefantasy]

"Did he shit?"
"I have no idea, hope the microphone got it."

[brgsstm]

Oh, , , so finally the press are starting to ask some questions of Biden?

I mentioned this yesterday as the BBC didn't show it, and some Bden shills were calling me a liar 😂 it's like people can't do a basic search. At least today they'll realize yet again, another 'conspiracy' was true.

If you can get upstaged by Johnson then it really is time to get out.

[PeteTash]

Boris had a slightly cooler mask and didn't sh*t himself.

[andylaauk]

Is anyone surprised that it doesn't take much to upstage Biden, a cabbage could upstage him.

[nancyking]

Boris actually has a Personality compared to the Crypt Keeper.

[stephenpodeschi]

Spin/liar in chief Jen Psaki and she's good at it...

[axldave]

Biden struggles to even walk up a flight of stairs successfully. Is anyone really surprised about this?

[solidbanjobanjo]

“People voted for Biden to protect democracy” lolwut?

[practicingpreparedness]

I would even upstage Biden and I’m nobody

[BANKO]

She is blaming Johnson, the UK Prime Minister, for not asking permission from White House upstart bureaucrats whether he can invite questions from the press? Seriously, who THE HELL does Psaki think she is, trying to cancel a British Prime Minister?

[andylaauk]

"Answer questions?? Is that what I'm supposed to do??"

[FoodwaysDistribution]

He was upstaged by his aid interrupting, screaming and shouting

[marcj]

My toilet brush upstages both of them.
