Karine Jean-Pierre is holding a press briefing at the White House. Karine is getting royally pissed at the rabid dogs of the press, especially someone named Ed who has repeatedly accused her of being evasive re Bidens mental health. Now theyre demanding to know if Biden has been evaluated for Parkinsons disease. I dont know how Karine can (mostly) keep her cool around these people.

This whole spectacle is shameful. It is like sharks circling when they sense blood in the water. Who are the doctors? What are their names? Where were the exams conducted? Why did a Parkinson's specialist visit the WH 8 times? Was Biden reading off of a script when he called in to Morning Joe? Don't you think it's significant when there are democrats not just republicans questioning his mental acuity?
Where is the questioning and hounding of Trump's acuity and health. A glowing report of health from Ronny Jackson who has a questionable relationship with drugs and alcohol is ok with them? The verbal diarrhea that spews from Trump's mouth which is obviously not scripted, and appears to be the ravings of a lunatic is normal? Not a sign of an aging and decompensating mind? Didn't Trump almost die from COVID? No long term effects from that, I assume (sarcasm).
This is an embarrassment, and I am saddened that Biden felt he had to try to assuage them with this press conference.

(19,950 posts)Like being professional. Some are like rabid jackals with their tone and disrespect and shouting out questions that have already been answered three different kind of ways just waiting for a gotcha. Freedom of the Press demands responsibility..its not supposed to be a shitshow as was described but usually turns into one.

(2,338 posts)Start restricting press access to the WH Briefings.
Yes they would howl, but press person likes being excluded from the White House.
