A reporter from the New York Post decided to ask Joe Biden a tough question that he clearly wasn’t prepared for, and his response shows how little he actually cares about being accountable to the American people.
As Joe Biden was leaving the White House on his way to survey the damage from the deadly tornadoes that hit Kentucky and five other states, a New York Post reporter tried to ask him an important question about a subject that was a key part of Biden’s presidential campaign.
“On 800,000 coronavirus deaths, do you have a statement on your responsibility, and why haven’t you asked China to do more to be transparent on the origins?” the reporter asked.
Instead of answering the question, Biden arrogantly grins, waves, and walks away.

Most people are responding to this with two points.
First, if former President Donald Trump had responded to a similar question with a smirk, the media would have thrown a fit and the Democrats in Congress would have probably launched another impeachment investigation.
Second, Joe Biden vowed on the campaign trail to “shut down the virus,” yet more people have died from COVID under his watch than under Trump, despite Biden having the “advantage” of the widely available vaccine.
I'm not going to shut down the country.
I'm not going to shut down the economy.
I'm going to shut down the virus.

Also, on the point of the second question the reporter asked, Joe Biden obviously can’t hold China accountable. He is indebted to them in some way, and it is obvious from his policies.
“Joe Biden ran ads during the campaign attacking Trump for not holding China accountable. Not only has Biden let them off the hook, he’s doing their bidding by erasing Taiwan, hanging Chinese flags in the White House, and pushing spending bills that help their economy,” Matt Whitlock tweeted in response to the video.

Regardless, Biden is showing complete contempt for the American people by not answering the tough questions, and honestly, these questions weren’t even that tough. But in comparison to the softball questions he is typically asked by the mainstream media, they were.
Joe Biden doesn’t believe he has to answer the tough questions nor does he believe he answers to you. He’s a disgrace to the office he holds. https://t.co/4enSHI1bNR
