'Bewildering' to see Biden read answers from script at press conference: Fleischer
Fox News
After President Biden's first press conference since his inauguration, former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer told "The Faulkner Focus" on Friday that the commander in chief reading off of a script to answer reporter's questions is "not healthy."
ARI FLEISCHER: A news conference really is that opportunity for all of us, particularly with the oldest president in history, to see how he's doing. What's the alternative? The alternative is the White House staff says to reporters, 'e-mail us your questions and we'll email you back a printed response.' That is, in essence, what they did yesterday on the three foreign policy questions reporters asked. But Joe Biden had a prepared paragraph's answer and he read it off of what was given to him by his staff. ... That is no way to measure a president. This is not healthy. And I hope today in his news conference, reporters asked, did he read off of it verbatim? Why did he do that? He's perfectly eloquent and conversant and on many of the domestic issues. I disagree with his take, but he's able to stand on his own feet and do it. So why not on those?
