(Headline USA) President Joe Biden bizarrely wandered off set in the middle of an interview with MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace on Thursday.
Biden sat down with Wallace for a soft-ball interview, but apparently decided to cut off the interview before it was finished. While the cameras were still rolling, Biden got out of his chair, shook Wallace’s hand and awkwardly toddled off.
“Don’t go anywhere,” Wallace told viewers as Biden was seen walking away.
“WHAT ON EARTH IS JOE BIDEN DOING?” tweeted political commentator Steve Guest. “It’s live TV!” Others quipped about where Biden might be in a rush to get to. “Bathroom run?” wrote Media Research Center’s Nicholas Fondacaro.
Conservatives also blasted the interview itself, calling it a “joke.” Wallace barely asked the president questions, and at one point told him the show was his any time he wanted.
“This is very exciting for us,” Wallace gushed to Biden.
“It’s exciting for me,” Biden replied.
Giggling, Wallace then asked Biden about the Supreme Court’s recent decision on affirmative action, setting him up to be able to bash the court.
“You say this court is not normal. What did you mean?” Wallace asked.
Biden said: “What I meant by that is it’s done more to unravel basic rights and basic decisions than any court in recent history.”
The rest of the interview focused on Biden’s 2024 campaign, the Wagner group’s actions in Russia, and the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Wallace did not ask Biden one question on the document that allegedly shows he accepted a bribe from a Ukrainian official, or on his son’s plea deal with the Justice Department, which charged Hunter Biden for tax fraud.
Wallace then concluded the interview by saying, “Mr. President, we don’t get a lot of presidents through this studio, so consider it your chair. Consider it an open invitation. There are going to be a lot of things on people’s minds and I hope you’ll look at this as a place you can come and talk about anything that’s on your mind.”
