White House Slams Reporter Claiming Biden Was ‘Harsh’ For Questioning Credibility Of Palestinian Officials

On Thursday, John Kirby, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications, slammed a reporter with a foreign news organization after the reporter suggested that it was “harsh” for President Joe Biden to say that Palestinian officials are not credible. The incident happened during a White House press briefing after Biden was asked the previous day about claims that the Palestinians have made about the number of people who have been killed in Gaza from Israeli airstrikes.

In the middle of the dinner there was a short video that appeared at the big screen in the front. And the star of that video was, yes indeed, former President Donald Trump.
