'I Better Not Start': President Biden Sparks Concern With Long Stare, Says He'll 'Get in Trouble' for Answering Reporter Questions
Biden quipped about taking questions from the press on Tuesday.
President Joe Biden joked that he would be reprimanded for taking questions from reporters at a press briefing, RadarOnline.com has learned hours after White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre spoke out in his defense amid concerns about his mental fitness.
"I have a lot of questions. I better not start the questions. I'll get in trouble," Biden uttered during a meeting in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington, DC, on Tuesday.
Biden then set the microphone down and seemed to freeze for 15 seconds as reporters shouted questions at him.
"What's your message for your super Tuesday voters?" one person asked as a woman could be heard in the background thanking the media that attended as they made their exit.
Critics have questioned if Biden, the oldest-sitting president in U.S. history, is prepared for another run at 81.
Biden sparked more concerns about his health with a long stare after joking he would "get in trouble."
"Oh my Lord. This man is not well," former Democratic Party campaign adviser Peter Daou posted via X.
Others, meanwhile, have rallied together in Biden's support while championing the commander-in-chief for his accomplishments.
On Tuesday, Biden announced new actions to lower costs for hard-working families by fighting corporate "profiteering, greedflation, and other unfair practices that keep costs high."
"Here's what's happening: The pandemic disrupted the supply chains," the president shared while making his remarks. "It drove up costs on everything from smartphones to automobiles. But it also — now those costs are making things — have come down, but the prices haven't come down."
Biden said that he is now launching a new strike force on unfair and illegal pricing to crack down on companies who break the law while keeping prices high for American consumers.
