CBSN is reporting that Biden took three questions from British reporters during a meeting with PM Boris Johnson. American journalists were “shut out” and not allowed to ask questions.
White House reporters have “launched a formal objection” to Biden’s lack of fairness to U.S. reporters. Biden doesn’t want to talk about the crisis at the border and has been avoiding reporters by refusing to speak.
CBS News' @EdOkeefe reports that during Pres. Biden's bilateral meeting with British PM Boris Johnson, U.S. press questions about the southern border were shouted down by White House aides. The president's answer was undecipherable. pic.twitter.com/MeXVTcFEBX

Ed O’Keefe reports:
IN THE OVAL OFFICE… @POTUS Biden and British PM @BorisJohnson meet to discuss pandemic, trade and other issues. Johnson took 3 questions. White House aides shouted down U.S. attempts to ask questions. I asked Biden about southern border and we couldn’t decipher what he said. pic.twitter.com/A86kgdfsuc

UPDATE: We have played back the tape and part of the president’s answer is decipherable. I asked for his response to the situation on the southern border and he says in part, “Violence is not justified.”
He is wearing a mask and there is shouting so nothing else is decipherable

Even though O’Keefe came back to say Biden made a comment, it was nothing but a claim that there is violence from Border Agents. All a lie manufactured by the Biden regime.
Anyone who has been paying attention knows Biden mostly doesn’t engage with reporters.
Just yesterday, Biden sat silent while reporters asked questions. His handlers yelled like carnival barkers to reporters to make them leave.
“Let’s go! Thank you!”
