78-year-old Joe Biden gave remarks over the federal response to Hurricane Ida from FEMA headquarters on Sunday.
After speaking about the hurricane, Biden told reporters that he was “not supposed to take any questions”, and he did not mention who gave him the order. However, he told a reporter to “go ahead” with their question, but instead, opted out of answering when the question was over Afghanistan.
“Mr. President, on Afghanistan…” a reporter began to ask Joe Biden.
The Democrat career politician dismissed the reporter’s question, saying, “I’m not gonna answer on Afghanistan now”.
BIDEN: “I’m not supposed to take any questions, but go ahead…. I’m not going to answer on Afghanistan now.”
