White House won’t dispute allegations in new Biden book.
The White House Responds to Claims Made in New Book
The White House has dismissed claims made in a new book that chronicles the first two years of President Joe Biden’s presidency. In The Last Politician by Franklin Foer, excerpts suggest that Biden complained about being treated like a child by his staff, leading to questions during a recent press briefing.
Addressing Concerns About Biden’s Treatment
During the press briefing, a reporter raised the issue, stating, “President Biden is the oldest president in U.S. history. Why does the White House staff treat him like a baby?” Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre swiftly denied the claim, calling it ”ridiculous.”
The reporter then read an excerpt from the book in which Biden expressed frustration about being treated like a toddler after his comments on regime change in Russia were walked back by his staff.
While there have been instances where Biden’s statements have been clarified or revised by his staff, Jean-Pierre defended his overall presence in the administration. She acknowledged that books about every administration often contain a variety of claims, but the White House has no intention of engaging in a public dispute over them.
Highlighting Biden’s Leadership and Accomplishments
Despite the controversy surrounding the book, Jean-Pierre emphasized the wider context of the excerpt. She praised Biden’s ”experience and wisdom” in rallying the world to support Ukraine against Russia and pointed to the bills passed by Congress in 2022 as evidence of his leadership.
When another reporter mentioned an excerpt from the book that suggested Biden is often tired and schedules most of his public appearances between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., Jean-Pierre dismissed it as a “ridiculous assumption.”
Overall, the White House remains focused on its agenda and the work being done by the Biden administration, choosing not to engage in discussions about claims made in books.
