The Biden Construct Exhorts Spineless Press Corps: \u2018Play By the Rules\u2019<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

In this, Our Sacred Democracy\u2122, reporters don\u2019t ask questions they are not granted permission to ask beforehand so that the correct response can be printed in\u00a0bold 72-point font<\/strong>\u00a0on a notecard for the alleged president to try to read.<\/p>\n

So sayeth the Savior of Democracy\u2122, Keeper of the Faith, the Holy Brandon Construct.<\/p>\n

Via\u00a0The Deadline<\/a>\u00a0(emphasis added):<\/p>\n

\u201cThe White House Correspondents\u2019 Association is objecting to the notion that reporters agreed to any restrictions on the types of questions they could ask of President Joe Biden at a press conference earlier today at the G7 summit in Italy.<\/em><\/p>\n

Appearing at the press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Biden took a question from\u00a0Bloomberg\u2019s Josh Wingrove<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Wingrove\u00a0asked the president if he would give his assessment of Hamas\u2019 response to the latest ceasefire proposal<\/strong>. \u2018Do you believe that they are trying to work towards a deal or is this response against a deal?\u2019 Wingrove asked.<\/em><\/p>\n

Biden responded, \u2018I wish you guys would play by the rules a little bit. I\u2019m here to talk about a critical situation in Ukraine and you asked me about another subject<\/strong>.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
