Biden seemingly apologizes to White House staff after taking too many media questions: ‘I shouldn’t do that’
During a White House event on Friday, President Biden appeared to apologize to his own staff after being instructed to stop taking questions from reporters at the meeting.
Biden met with local officials and activists on Women’s Equality Day to discuss guaranteeing abortion access throughout the country in the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe V. Wade.
Though the most attention-grabbing moment of the entire sit down came when a confused Biden tried to take one too many questions from the press and awkwardly apologized to his staff for taking "control" of the situation.
After finishing one question, Biden pointed to another reporter, ready to field more inquires. Though as seen in video recorded at the meeting, an administration staff member interrupted Biden, trying to force an end to the questions.
The offscreen staffer stated, "Thank you so much, Mr. President for –" Caught off guard, Biden abruptly interjected with an apology. "Oh I’m sorry, I …" he trailed off, stammering.
Leaning back with his arms up as if trying to defuse the situation, Biden added, "I took control. I shouldn’t do that." The staffer assured him it was "no problem," though Biden once again acknowledged, "I’m not allowed to do that."

My comment: Compare this to President Trump who would consistently take questions from the media.
