Ari Fleischer rips Biden for refusing Afghanistan questions: 'Everything about it was wrong'
Fox News
Ari Fleischer noted the "odd" relationship the president has with his staff, who Biden has repeatedly suggested instruct him on interacting with press.
ARI FLEISCHER: Everything about it was wrong. There are times when the president should give a statement and walk away. There are times when a president should not take questions. Yesterday, as soon as he said ‘I will take questions,’ he, of course, should have answered about Afghanistan. It's too obvious. The members of our military answer the call. The least the president could do is answer the question, and he didn't. Who is the staffer in a superior position to the president of the United States who gives him instructions, as the president puts it. I used to give recommendations to the president. I used to give advice to the president. But the president made the decisions, and I could not and would not instruct him. It's just odd that the president looks at his staff in such a manner that they can instruct him, but he needs to be the one making the calls. WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW BELOW:More Related News
