"Give me a break, man": Biden's response to questioning about his family's ties to China

The president was trying to leave the press room after reporting on the three flying objects shot down last week when he was questioned by several journalists.

Joe Biden blurted out "give me a break, man" to a reporter who asked him if he was engaged in his family's business dealings with China. The president had just finished a press conference in which he reported on the UFOs shot down by the Air Force last week, he was just about to leave the room when he was questioned by several reporters at once. Visibly frustrated, the White House resident, left the room without responding and inviting a reporter to come to his office "we have more polite people."

The president threatened to leave as soon as he finished his prepared commentary to the media. Biden has just expressed his conviction that he will soon speak with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, in an effort to de-escalate tensions, while still refusing to apologize for shooting down the Chinese spy balloon.

Second time Biden dodges the question

This is the second time Biden has shied away from a direct question about congressional Republicans' inquiries into his family's business ties, especially regarding his son Hunter, with the communist regime. Questioned during an interview with PBS News last week, the president noted that "the public is not going to pay attention" to the Conservatives' nine ongoing investigations into alleged money laundering, wire fraud and tax evasion. He has not spoken about it again.

After much pressure, the president finally agreed yesterday to give explanations about the three objects shot down by the Air Force last week. Biden noted that the order to shoot them down came from him, and this was after they had been "tracking three objects posing hazards to air traffic." He quickly acknowledged that "they were probably tied to recreation or research - not surveillance."

New UFO regulations

In addition, Biden directed his team "to establish sharper rules on how we deal with unidentified objects." Secretary of State Tony Blinken will be in charge of giving form and content to these measures, which will be implemented in a coordinated manner along with the other departments involved.
