Biden mocked for his 'embarrassing' admission

President Joe Biden has been ridiculed by Twitter users after he admitted at his media conference – following talks with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin – that he would only be calling on reporters from a prepared list.

Congressman Greg Steube questioned how that move was "acceptable" while Steve Guest, the special advisor for communications for Senator Ted Cruz, said it was an "embarrassing" blunder from the president.

Other Twitter users said President Biden accidentally "said the quiet part out loud".

The most powerful man in the world is instructed on who he can and cannot take questions from.
How powerful is he ?
PUPPET PRESIDENT

"They gave me a list of people I am going to call on" - What a leader.

[manxkin]

"THEY" gave the president a list? Who exactly is "They" and who exactly is in charge.

I'm sure Putin got his ass handed to him from a guy that can't even handle random questions from reporters. We're so screwed.

[sneakshow]

It’s equally as embarrassing for those hand-picked reporters. Journalistic integrity and it’s finest

[ackos]

Pre-selected journalists, with pre-selected questions. Handlers: How can he screw this up?

[oriona]

I don’t think this is the kind of “transparency” they intended for lol

[TheRealAwesomePossum]

One of these days he's going to blurt out. "When I stole the election in 2020.." Oh boy..

[trashfire]

If Trump had a hand-picked list of reporters like this, people would be screaming that he's "literally hitler!"

[charcoalblues.]

Let me rephrase that headline.."Biden mocked for being embarrassing"..

[RobertS-eqyn]

I wish "WE" the American people knew who "They" actually are.

[alkoenig]

He displays his incompetence daily and is turning up the idiocy, the press remains quiet…

[ebe]

Please Biden keep talking!!! We want to know more about who’s the real president!!!!

[ssoretrac]

If Twitter is mocking him, you know he’s bad. The world has lost its mind.

[billyj.thanks]

I’m so afraid of America’s future with this knucklehead at the helm.

[redx]

He’s admitting that he is a puppet and that “they” tell him what he can and can’t do as the president

[thetimeisnow]

HE IS JUST A PUPPET
People are laughing at the American President but he is just keeping the seat warm.

[brain_jones]

PITIFUL and EMBARRASSING.
And, we're just SIX MONTHS into this horrible regime.
God Save Us!

‘Gave me a list of people to call Incredible

Makes him LOOK weak? He IS weak. On every level, every area.
