President Joe Biden can’t stop beating up on members of the press who dare to challenge him.
During his latest meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog at the White House, the American commander-in-chief appeared to mock members of the press clamoring to have their questions taken by the two world leaders. It even looked as though he was making faces and laughing at them as they were escorted out of the room without responding to any of them.

This is not Biden’s first round of mocking reporters, of course. In January, he was caught on a hot mic referring to Fox News’ Peter Doocy as a “stupid son-of-a-b***h” and later that same month, smiled while he called NBC News senior reporter Kelly O’Donnell a “pain in the neck.”

Biden has been accused of having a hostile attitude toward the media and individual members of the press. However, the media’s response to his verbal volleys varies greatly from how they treated his predecessor, former President Donald Trump.
Trump was described as waging a “war on the press” and Democratic Erosion even claimed that his hostility toward the media constituted an “attack on democracy.” While it was clear that there was mutual animosity between Trump and the mainstream media, the difference between the treatment of the two leaders is quite stark.
The clip of Biden mocking the press was even discussed on Fox News where it can be seen more clearly:
Social media was not very happy with Biden’s latest antics either:

The gesture he made at the end putting his hand to his mouth looked sort of like “zip your lip.” I think he had been instructed not to talk and his hand gesture was reminding himself to keep to the plan.

Very shrill Biden handlers…😬
😱”Let’s go!!”😳‘very afraid of public perception of Biden.
Can not keep him in the Basement all of the time.
The problem w/the lack of transparency.— Katherine Trunk (@KatherineTrunk) October 27, 2022
So why even have the reporters there? This is just so wrong! He can’t answer questions and they know that. He’s just laughing at them. So embarrassing.

Someday the foreign dignitaries who’ve met w/Pres. Biden will write abt their memories of dealing w/an extremely compromised leader of the world’s greatest power.

Look at the smug look he gives. Basically a middle finger to the country.
