President Biden made an attempt at a joke when he talked about running over a journalist with a truck as he took questions while test-driving the new electric Ford F-150 Lightning.

While taking a tour of the Ford plant in Michigan this week, Biden pulled up to a group of pool reporters, many of whom only asked him easy questions about how he liked the truck that he was driving.

However, one reporter spoke up and questioned Biden about the ongoing Middle East crisis.

“Mr. President, can I ask you a quick question on Israel before you drive away since it’s so important?” the reporter asked.

“No, you can’t,” Biden responded. “Not unless you get in front of the car as I step on it.”

“I’m only teasing,” the president added quickly driving off.

Critics criticized the president’s comment on social media.

“To quote Joe Biden: ‘C’mon, man,'” journalist Alheli Picazo wrote.

“what a HILARIOUS context in which to joke about attacking journalists!” tweeted former Washington Post journalist Max J. Rosenthal.

“This is a terrifying threat against America’s free press and I trust impeachment proceedings will soon follow. cc @brianstelter @Acosta,” wrote Grabien founder and news editor Tom Elliott, poking fun at CNN stars Brian Stelter and Jim Acosta after spending years pretending like Trump was a threat to journalism.

“This would be a five-alarm fire of a news cycle if Joe Biden was a Republican and said this to a reporter,” Ted Cruz aide Steve Guest said.
