WNU Editor: The exchange starts at 1:28:10 in the above video.
It looks like NPR reporter Scott Detrow went off script when he asked President Biden on how can ....
.... Americans get to the airport with all the violence and chaos surrounding the airport, and is he (President Biden) saying unequivocally that any American that wants to get to the airport can get there and pass the security barrier to the planes where they want to go.
President Biden's answer ....
.... I thought the question was how can they get through to the airport outside the airport, and the answer is to the best of our knowledge the Taliban checkpoints there are letting through people showing American passports.
Now that is a different question when they get into the rush of crowd of all the folks just outside the wall of the airport ....
WOW!
Please tell me that all of this was not staged.
Sighhhh....
Some other observations.
Watch Vice-President Harris during this Biden-NPR exchange. Even with a mask on you can tell that she is not amused with what this NPR reporter is doing.
And just like that. After only asking three reporters for questions (AP, PBS, and NPR), the presser is over.
As for his remarks on Afghanistan. It was painful to watch him continually slurring his words, stuttering, repeating himself, having his 5 second brain freezes, and rambling on and on with an answer that should have ended a minute ago .
Updates: Other are noticing what I noticed (see below).One corporate press stenographer changed up his pre-approved question. Biden literally answered, "I thought the question was," before attempting to answer the new question.
