Joe Biden appears to only be answering approved questions from approved reporters while on his trip in Israel, video shows.
While speaking at a joint “press conference” with Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid, Biden stated that he was given a list of approved reporters to answer questions from.
In the video, when a seemingly unapproved reporter began to ask Biden a question, the another voice interjected and asked Biden if he would “call on the next question.”
“Um, sure, uh, I, I was [inaudible] get a list here, I, uh, Steve Holland, uh, Reuters,” Biden stammered.
It is unclear why Biden refuses to answer unapproved questions from unapproved reporters, unlike his predecessor 45th President Donald Trump, who would provide the public with unscripted and open press conferences that would last for hours on end.
Biden’s trip to Israel has not gone without incident thus far. Valiant News reported earlier today that the president appeared to shake an invisible hand when no real person stood before him.
In a video of the awkward situation posted by the Republican National Committee Research Twitter account, Biden can be observed leaving the podium and putting his hand out to shake the invisible person.
Due to his apparently confused state, Biden was then steered in the direction of nearby chairs, which he began to point in the direction of as he walked towards them.
Why does he stick his entire hand out and then change it to a point

It would not be the first time Biden, 79, shook an invisible hand, which could raise questions about his cognitive abilities and fitness for office.
In April, Biden shook an invisible hand following a speech in North Carolina before aimlessly wandering off the stage.

Immediately after ending his North Carolina speech with “God bless you all,” Biden turned to his right and said something to the empty space space behind him – where another person would presumably be if Biden was not all alone – and mimed a handshake, Valiant News reported.
