The White House is in shambles. There’s no telling when the house of cards will come tumbling down.
And now a Biden official screamed at a reporter for asking the one question Joe fears most.
National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan compared a journalist’s question regarding a claim that President Biden had grown agitated and swore about declining poll numbers to a “when did you stop beating your spouse question.”
Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy confronted Sullivan during the White House’s daily press briefing about an NBC News report titled “Behind the scenes, Biden has grown angry and anxious about re-election effort.”
According to an unnamed lawmaker, during a private meeting at the White House in January, Biden “began to shout and swear” when allies warned him about the president’s declining poll numbers in the battleground states of Michigan and Georgia over his handling of the Israel-Hamas war.
“There’s a report that when President Biden was told his handling of the war between Israel and Hamas was starting to affect his poll numbers, the quote is he began to shout and swear. So when he does that, is he shouting and swearing about Netanyahu or about Hamas or about his poll numbers?” Doocy questioned Sullivan on Monday.
“This is the ‘when did you stop beating your spouse’ question because I don’t think he ever did that,” Sullivan responded.
“Excuse me?” Doocy interjected before Sullivan proceeded.
“Well you use that as the premise of your question, which is when he does that. He – I’ve never seen him do that shout or swear in response to that. So from my perspective, that particular report is not correct,” Sullivan said.
Sullivan is likely saying that he believes Doocy’s question was a loaded one – or a question that presumes guilt.
While Doocy did accept the claim that Biden has shouted and swore, it’s not completely unwarranted given the fact that there are reports from a lawmaker.
And it’s a classless response from Mr. Sullivan, frankly.

Doocy has previously asked Sullivan why Biden had allowed 32 days to pass between phone contacts with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“First of all, our teams are in contact every single day at every level. President Biden gets a daily – twice daily, sometimes nine times daily – update on what is going on. And he reserves his calls for the prime minister for when he believes there’s a clear, key strategic moment that needs to come forward,” Sullivan said.
“Point two, the prime minister, of course, knows how to reach President Biden. If the Prime Minister felt he needed the president for some reason, he would have picked up the phone and called. And of course, in the last 32 days, President Biden has never declined a phone call from Prime Minister Netanyahu,” he added.
This comes on the heels of Biden announcing a pier to deliver Palestinians (and ultimately, Hamas) food and water.
This president is selling out our allies and wasting our money on terrorists.
