Sundown Joe: Biden Raged at Press When Addressing the Elephant in the Room
I could see where the hook would be regarding this latest tantrum Joe Biden threw at a White House event. The president signed the Social Security Fairness Act into law. It was a simple signing ceremony that turned into an attack on the press.
With Donald J. Trump about to return to the White House to start his second presidency, Biden was asked if he still thought the president-elect was a threat to democracy. The outgoing president felt what he did on January 6 was a threat, which led to a rant against the media like no other (via Fox News):
Fox News’ Lucas Tomlinson reported that after signing the Social Security Fairness Act, Biden took a few questions from the crowd which led the president to target President-elect Donald Trump.
"Do you still believe he’s a threat to democracy?" a reporter asked.
"I think what he did was a genuine threat to democracy," Biden responded.
