Social media users have reacted to the incredible moment Joe Biden’s team flew in “like Secret Service agents” to prevent the press from questioning the US President during a campaign event.
President Biden travelled to Saginaw County, Michigan on Thursday to rally support ahead of the November elections.
His focus was on energising Black and union-affiliated voters in the region, which is crucial to his campaign’s success.
He stopped by Saginaw Councilman Bill Ostash’s 131-year-old Victorian mansion home for a meet-and-greet with campaign volunteers supporting his re-election.
At the mansion, Biden stood on the porch with his back facing the press and could be heard asking, “Can I take a couple questions?”
A woman in a Biden-Harris jacket announced, “We’re going to take a few questions,” while staff ushered the press away, repeating, “Thank you, press, back to the cars”.
The moment blew up on social media and was met with swift backlash from social media users.
“The moment Biden suggests taking a few questions, his handlers come flying in like Secret Service agents taking a bullet, yelling at the press to get back in their cars. What an incredible scene,” one user on X wrote.
