Once again Joe Biden turned his back on reporters and answered no questions about the Americans trapped in Afghanistan following his address on Tuesday afternoon.
The move follows his avoidance of questions about Afghanistan on Sunday, when he told reporters “I’m not supposed to take any questions” and abruptly turned his back on the press after being asked about Afghanistan.

Perhaps he wasn’t “instructed” to respond to the media - as sometimes, it seems, he is granted permission to answer press questions. "Ladies and gentlemen, they gave me a list here. The first person I was instructed to call on was Kelly O'Donnell from NBC," Biden said last week during a press conference that actually (gasp!) allowed for questions.
The media have covered Biden’s backside for some time and some continue to do so by giving leftist spin on the administration’s disastrous handling of Afghanistan. Now he’s literally giving his back to all the press to cover.
