President Biden raised eyebrows on Thursday after he repeatedly whispered to reporters during a press conference at the White House.
The president leaned into the microphone on three occasions when giving answers during a discussion about the $1.2 trillion infrastructure deal.
When asked about additional relief for families, Biden whispered toward PBS reporter Yamiche Alcindor: "I got them $1.9 trillion in relief so far. They're going to be getting checks in the mail that are consequential this week for childcare."
Later, when asked by CNN reporter Phil Mattingly about how the deal was brokered despite low expectations, Biden said in a normal speaking voice that he always thought the outlook was good.
"I'm not going to negotiate with the press when I'm negotiating privately with my colleagues. And these are very tough decisions. I don't in any way dismiss what Sen. [Chris] Murphy [D-Conn.] says about the environment. I don't dismiss it at all," Biden said.
Dropping to a whisper and stooping his head as his eyes grew wide, Biden added: "I wrote the bill on the environment. Why would I not be for it?"
Biden then whispered again when raising on his own the issue of some workers preferring to collect enhanced COVID-19 unemployment benefits than return to low-wage jobs.
"Pay them more. This is an employee's — an employee's bargaining chip now," he whispered into the microphone. (New York Post)

Is this all you have ? C'mon man.
Any doubts about cognitive dissonance??
You clearly don't understand the meaning "cognitive dissonance". Look it up.
Creepy Joe
Biden Starts Whispering To Reporters Multiple Times During Press Conference By Leah Barkoukis
Townhall? What a reliable source!
Give them a break, it's all they got. Townhall, OAN, Federalist.
Ahhh the old shoot the messenger tactic. Does NOT discount the strange behavior of the PotUS in this case. But you two go ahead and just overlook the obvious problem. It is recorded and staring you right in the face. But lets go ahead and just attack the source while the video is right there in your face. LMAO.
Some folks don't want to be told the truth, as it destroys the lies they have been fed and believe in.
Do they imagine the widely available video of Biden’s press conference is a hoax?
it always amazes me that they stoop to whining about the source when the source is irrelevant.
Why not shoot the messenger after reading the comments section in the article you seeded?
The messenger isn't the point. The video is and I don't care who put it up first. You know Goddamned well the MSM isn't going to point this behavior out.
Townhall is not scum because they have a recording of Biden whispering, they are scum because of their interpretation of it.
I really don't think you, of all people here, should be discussing someone's interpretation of anything given past articles/seeds on a daily basis for 5+ years .
After non-stop years hearing about 'fake news' it's not? Whatever.
Jealousy will get you nowhere.
You should delete this article to save further embarrassment.
Fake news was writing twisted "interpretations" of what was said or meant. This particular "article" is just showing a happening and yes, some bias bullshit comments but the video is the story.
Jealousy? hahahaha You're killing me smalls
You're killing yourself.
Perhaps this messenger is more to your liking. I know a member or two who use it quite often
I watched it, I did not see nor hear anything for this, yes, fake brouhaha.
Perhaps you should go elsewhere rather than this seed.
This is how mind numbingly stupid some rightwingers are. This is from the previously mentioned comment section at Townhall
jack johnson Woodie Thompson • an hour agoDementia Joe thinks stealing our tax money and redistributing it is some kind of secret.. ..what an azzhat.
------------------------------------
You don't whisper into a microphone if you want to make something a secret. Clearly Biden whispered for "effect".
What other ways do you have to waste our time on this fine Friday morning?
Is this the line I am supposed to pay attention to?:
Critics on social media weighed in on Biden’s whispers, labeling it with adjectives that ranged from “weird” to “creepy.”
Did you take a look at who tweeted? @!@ ... that was the story you linked me to read?
The article you are linking is from a site called Mediaite. MSN just reprinted it, as they do with dozens of stories every day from a variety of sites. MSN doesnt generally write original news material.
In any case, the article is reporting that conservatives on twitter were attacking Biden for his "whispering". That is the story. The Mediaite article makes no editorial point about the whispering, only that people on twitter were talking about it. That is what Mediaite often does, they report on what is being said in regular media and on social media.
I was pointing to mediaite as the "approved" source John. FFS
It's more fun to stay here and make this foolish article look bad.
I was linking you to Mediaite as a source..........and one used here quite often.
yes it is.
Oh yeah, President Biden whispered!
LOCK HIM UP!
Here's what Just Jim linked to regarding this ridiculously moronic smear piece on President Biden
"Biden’s Aggressive Whispering at Media During Press Conference Raises Eyebrows"
No shit!? Unlike some here, others actually open links and read the contents so they know.
I opened the link and read the contents so I know, so what the fuck are you talking about?
NO one needed to be enlightened to the contents of the link. Don't be obtuse. You're just here to shit up the place and it needs to stop.
So you didn't like me pointing out how stupid that link was and the moronic headline?
"You're just here to shit up the place and it needs to stop."
What are you going to do about it?
Who said that ?
It's a 'source' I rarely if ever read and try my best not to post if used.
Are you denying what everyone else could plainly see?
That is all you have--attack the source because even you can't defend your hero on this.
I'm sorry, but whispering into a mic to emphasize a point is extremely easy to defend. I wouldnt probably personally do it, but it is not at all difficult to defend.
This really signals the desperation of the right in the wake of the announcement of the infrastructure agreement.
hahahaha how so? I think it was great. But there is a fly named Nancy in the ointment.
What a stupid source.
Who is my hero that you keep referring to?
You said that bullshit regarding Kamala Harris. Same shit, different day.
Ho hum.

Joe Biden obviously thinks or thought that loudly whispering into a microphone where everyone could hear him adds emphasis or importance to those sentences. I suppose one could differ with him about that but it is hardly bizarre or creepy. If Bill Clinton or George Bush had whispered a sentence or two into a mic during a press conference no one would have thought anything of it.
If this is the best y'all can do to attack Biden he must doing a great job as president.
When people want to whisper something so no one hears it but one person, you dont do it into a microphone in front of dozens of people, do you?
Really, the seed is what people are saying about Biden whispering. The sources that Jim has linked to (and, meh, I may say) don't have anything substantial to say about his whispering to emphasize a point. The sources don't say anything about his mental well being.
That's what I'm getting out of this seed.
AHUH! Now we've got 'em. Joe is toast! We can't have a serial whisperer as Commander and Chief! No way!
A serial yeller and name caller is so much better....
Harris forced to remind Biden to talk about deadly Miami apartment collapse (msn.com)
Biden needs constant handling and babysitting like a child. Would be best to just let his handlers speak for him instead of these constant embarrassing moments.
The world is watching and he is becoming a national security problem.
At least Biden know how to drink water by himself.
And doesn't lose his limo.
This comment stands. Trump is mentioned, albeit not by name, by the seeder @ 8.2 . Trump can't be off-topic for members of one side of the political aisle, while fair game for the other side - sandy

How am I off topic but Sunshine's not, since I am replying directly to his/her comment? "Just Jim NC TttH", your bias is showing.
Trump is NOT the topic. Get it?
Nope. My comment showed the right wing's sliding standards on what they consider "mentally unfit". You espouse how unfit Biden is for small things, but made excuses for Trump on bigger things.
Doesn't matter. Biden and his behavior is the topic. And your "examples" weren't bigger things.
Have a nice day.
The world is watching the gop and their supporters become increasingly unhinged and batshit crazy by the minute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You want batshit crazy? How about obsessing over a former PotUS after his departure 6 months (technically 9 if you go back to election day) ago. THAT is batshit crazy.........and only used due to the inability to praise his successor.
We're not obsessing over the scumbag trumpturd.
How come trumpturd is still saying he won the election six months after waddling out of the White House? After his OVERWHELMING LOSS OF 7 MILLION VOTES?
Yes you are and don't care what he is saying. See how easy that is. Now, he who is not the topic of the thread, needs not be mentioned again. Get it?
No, I'm not.
There is nothing wrong with lingering resentment against the worst president America has ever had (particularly when he is still claiming the election was stolen from him) , and his deplorable followers (lets not say all of them lets say the ones who the shoe fits).
It's getting weird!
Why can't they just be honest. They voted for the guy to get rid of Trump. They are perfectly happy with the way Susan Rice and co are destroying the country.
HERE:
Listen to how stupid he sounds.
I can see
... and you are just adding balance to the ballast right?
Vic , there are already 50 comments about him whispering. I think we are all aware that he whispered before you produced your Sherlock Holmes evidence.
Biden won't last the full term, he's not mentally fit or up to the demands of the job.
Harris will never be ready to take over.
Lefties are on the horns of a dilemma, and are pathetically projecting and distracting while attempting to put up a brave front
Spoken by one of the kings of projection, deflection, and denial.
Well you Biden worshippers have shitted up the whole seed with garbage and sour grapes due to a little buyers remorse. I'm shutting it down.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
