Following his latest address on the Russia-Ukraine crisis, President Joe Biden chose yet again on Tuesday afternoon to turn his back and walk away after a major White House speech without taking questions from reporters. But instead of decrying the move, ABC’s David Muir offered a defense of Biden ducking the free press: Things are just too serious to be talking to reporters!
Biden ended his nine-minute address by saying he’d “have more to say about this as it moves on” and that he’s “hoping diplomacy is still available” with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Once he said, “thank you very much” to those listening, he closed his notebook and marched away from the podium with his back turned to the cameras as reporters shouted questions.
