BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – President Biden and a taxpayer-funded Public Broadcasting System (PBS) reporter were both harshly criticized for what some called a “scripted” exchange in opposition to bans on trans medical procedures for children.
The incident occurred during a joint press conference with United Kingdom Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, when PBS NewsHour White House correspondent Laura Barrón-López stated, “All over the country… Republican led states are passing laws – passing anti-LGBT, anti-transgender laws that restrict rights and medical care. Intimidate is on the rise. This week, anti-LGBTQ protesters turned violent in California.”
Biden replied by first asking to connect with the family, then saying he was proud to end a ban on transgender individuals serving in the military and sign the Respect for Marriage Act. He then appeared to be at a loss for words, and for a few moments he seemed to not know what to say.
Out of frustration, Barrón-López shouted, “Just say it like you did in rehearsal, stupid!”
