US President Joe Biden slammed the press after being grilled about his controversies, including his family’s business interests.
On Thursday afternoon, the reporters questioned the President whether his ability to deal with tensions with China was “compromised” by his family’s business dealings and interests.
In response, the President complained that the journalists were not being polite and told them to “give me a break” before he walked away.
This comes as Republicans claim that the President couldn’t properly confront China on several issues that range from the origins of Covid-19 and fentanyl exports to the recent suspected Chinese surveillance balloon that was hovering in the US airspace this month due to Biden’s family’s financial links to Chinese state entities.
The controversy arose after a reporter for The Post asked the President, “Is your ability to deal with China compromised by your family’s business relationships in China, President Biden?”
Among all reporters who threw questions at Biden, the latter chose to answer only The Post’s query and told the reporter, “Give me a break, man,” with a dismissive laugh.
In addition, two American TV journalists and reporters for Japanese and Polish also questioned Biden but The Post belatedly added, “Does your son still co-own a company with Chinese government entities?”
“You can come to my office and ask a question when you have more polite people with you.” Biden responded with an apparent disdainful hand gesture.
In an exclusive report published by the New York Post, it was revealed that “journalists standing near NBC News’ Peter Alexander, who was about 25 feet from The Post, said it appeared Biden was trying to call on him.”
Moments after the event, President Biden granted an exclusive interview to Alexander.
During the interview, Biden addressed the spy balloon controversy, claiming that “I think the last thing that [Chinese President] Xi [Jinping] wants is to fundamentally rip the relationship with the United States and with me.
Last week, Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) of The Post claimed that “When you look at the Biden balloon that came across the country for a week, and you look at how he changed from calling China an adversary and confronting China, as President Trump did, to calling China a partner and a competitor — how much has that been influenced by the Biden family’s corrupt business deals?”
