Even As President Biden Can’t Handle The Hard Questions

President Biden lost his cool with an Associated Press reporter Thursday who asked him questions during one of the new president’s first events.

While Biden was signing executive orders that would combat the coronavirus pandemic, Associated Press White House reporter Zeke Miller pressed him about his goal of having 100 million Americans vaccinated within his first 100 days in office. Miller wondered whether the bar should be set “higher” to encourage even more Americans to go out and get vaccinated.

The president fired back at the reporter, “When I announced it, you all said it was not possible. C’mon, gimme a break man.”

Before walking away from the group of reporters Biden added, “It’s a good start, 100 million.”

During the weeks leading up to the election, Biden formed a habit of avoiding hard questions from reporters covering his campaign. During his rare press conferences, reporters were criticized for asking “softball questions” some of which Biden seemed to have scripted answers for.

Biden also has a history of lashing out at reporters including CBS News’ Bo Erickson and Fox News’ Peter Doocy.
