Biden scolds reporter asking about Putin’s threat of war with US: ‘Be quiet’ #shorts

President Biden scolded a journalist Friday for asking him to respond to Vladimir Putin’s statement that the US and Russia would effectively be at war if the American commander in chief lifts restrictions on Ukraine’s use of long-range missiles inside Russia.

“I say you be quiet until I speak. Okay? That’s what I say. Good idea?” Biden, 81, snapped as he opened a meeting at the White House with visiting UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

The journalist persisted, “But what do you say to [Russian President] Vladimir Putin’s threat of war, sir? It’s a serious threat.”

“You’ve got to be quiet,” Biden replied. “I’m going to make a statement here, okay?”

The journalist seemed to be part of the traveling British press corps and may have been unfamiliar with the American custom of waiting until the president is done speaking before asking questions.

The way he talked to him. Does he realize he's a public servant. RUDE!!

[Liberty]

the mindset of a tyrant "shut up let me make a statement"

[mallarysangel]

Why is he suddenly so much more alert, and fluid with his thoughts and words? Anyone else notice that? Third time I’ve seen this in a week.

The press should be able to ask questions without being silenced that's free speech and a Protected Right not a privilege as VP Harris stated . The Free Speech is the bulwark of Democracy . Vote these Imposters out.

Senile old the damage he has done to the USA is sad

[bertygonzalez]

Have you ever wondered why is it that when the person has a rotten heart, the nastiness always comes to the surface ?

[mylifeasricky]

Look at that! He can speak clearly! The game was rigged from the start, people!

[Huhgundai]

He’s trying to be assertive like Trump but it doesn’t have quite the same effect

[Cannamaniac]

That's how a tyrant deflects a question.
