President Biden shows off his infamous thin skin as he rolls out his COVID-19 plan on Thursday, reprimanding a White House pool reporter who asked if his new goal of 1 million injections a day was too low.
“When I announced it, you all said it’s not possible. Come on, take a breather, man! This is a good start, ‘Biden said during his first full day in the White House office.
The reporter asked Biden if his goal was ambitious enough given the current question.
Is it high enough? Don’t you have to set the goal higher? This is basically where the USA is at present, ‘the reporter shouted after Biden finished signing ten executive orders regarding the multifaceted plan.
Biden took office on Wednesday with an estimated 912,497 vaccine doses is delivered per day under outgoing President Donald Trump, according to Bloomberg data.
Biden dismissed the question and suddenly got up from his desk and followed Vice President Kamala Harris.
Moments earlier, he had signed executive orders related to the coronavirus pandemic, including a new requirement that foreign visitors be quarantined upon arrival.
This is by no means the first time Biden has lost the tournament with a questioner during a public event.
At a campaign rally in Wilmington, Del., In June 2020, Biden (78) took the lead when one reporter asked about people, including Trump, who questioned whether he had mental deficiencies – the questioner noted on his own mental deterioration at age 65 and asks if Biden has been tested for cognitive decline.
“You’re a lying face of the dog,” Biden said, irritated because the reporter was still asking questions when he wanted to leave the event, before adding that he was “constantly being tested.”
It happened after Biden reportedly called a university student a ‘lying dog pony soldier’ during a campaign event in New Hampshire in February 2020.
Madison Moore, 21, a student at Mercer University, said it was “humiliating to be called a liar on national TV by the former vice president.”
