Reporters tried to ask questions at the end of the photo op.
One reporter was particularly persistent and kept trying to ask what he thought about "Danish leadership in the world." Biden just laughed at her.
"The Biden WH seems *particularly intent* on the press not asking any [questions] of POTUS 14 days out from the midterms, w/WH aides screaming in the faces of reporters who try to ask Biden q's following each event today," Cook tweeted.
He's also had multiple other incidents, just in the past month, when he ducked reporters on May 11 who wanted to ask about Title 42 and had them kept far back behind a rope so they couldn't question him.
Then on May 15 when they finally got a question in on the border, he got snotty with them and told them it was going "Much better than you all expected." Then, on May 20, he told a reporter in Japan to "Shush up." On May 29, he mocked reporters saying, "You guys realize you're not in the real world."
As we reported, the White House said in May they wanted to revise the rules as to which reporters can be at press briefings if reporters don't act "In a professional manner." Some like Today News Africa reporter Simon Ameba seemed to think that was an effort to kick out the people who asked him tough questions.
As we noted, it also seems to discriminate against independent reporters.
