As the Biden administration nears its end, they continue to display their characteristic shamelessness and evasion of their responsibilities to the American people. This behavior is evident in their recent actions and responses to inquiries.
During a ceremony where Joe Biden presented the Medal of Valor to eight individuals, he was questioned by the press about whether he had spoken with the families of the victims of a terrorist attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. However, instead of providing a straightforward answer, Biden’s handlers quickly intervened to prevent further questioning and the dissemination of any information.
Biden said, “Yes, I have.”
Then the press asked him “What have they told you? What have their reflections been…Any updates on the suspects?”
Then you can see what happens next.

It raises concerns when the administration appears reluctant to address important matters or engage with the public and the press. The lack of transparency and accountability only fuels speculation and distrust, leaving many wondering about the true motivations behind their actions.
Biden said he’d speak to that “later” — something he commonly says, but then his team never seems to make that happen. We’ll keep an eye out to see if he actually says anything of substance later. He reportedly is supposed to visit New Orleans with Jill on Monday.
Then White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also had a moment at Friday’s White House briefing. She just refused to answer a question from Fox’s Lucas Tomlinson, as she was closing her briefing book in a huff and beating it out of the room. He asked if Joe Biden still considers “white supremacy the greatest terrorist threat to the United States,” as he has said in the past?

Of course, the Bourbon Street terrorist attack was by a man who was allegedly a supporter of ISIS, about the furthest thing from white supremacy as you were going to get. It’s a good question for media to ask; yet one more thing that Biden is wrong about.
But KJP didn’t want to get near that one with a ten-foot-pole. She looked like she had no desire to even be there anymore; she’ did not even bothering to pretend. And as I said, Biden handlers wouldn’t let him answer questions.
They also have failed to answer about the unexplained injuries on Biden’s face, seen during his remarks from Camp David about the New Year’s attack.
These are critical questions, and the American people are owed answers.
