Biden repeatedly asks for stage directions at presser
2024-05-24
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Biden, 81, asks pre-selected reporters to repeat questions multiple times and suddenly shouts 'whoa' at shambolic press conference shut down by aides

President Joe Biden repeatedly had to ask for stage directions during a press conference with Kenyan President William Ruto Thursday where he appeared stunned by TV reporters who shouted questions to him at the end.

'Is that it?' Biden asked at one point during the proceedings, as reporters from U.S. and Kenyan media asked questions to each leader in a pre-cooked format.

'What was my question?' Biden asked a U.S. reporter who asked a long inquiry to Biden and Ruto at the same time.

'Sir, your question was Haiti,' the reporter told him at the first press conference in a month for the 81-year-old president.

Biden brought down the hammer when the first reporter he called on from a prepared list tried to ask him a pair of questions: one on Haiti, and another an International Criminal Court warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

'One question,' Biden intoned, although the reporter tried for two anyway.

Biden read conspicuously from printed notes during several of his answers, including while speaking about international lending institutions, injecting a few bromides.
