The White House press pool is beginning to ask the right questions, and we can expect that these obvious inconsistencies will continue to dog the Biden campaign into the 2024 election.

First, on Wednesday the White House's national security council spokesman John Kirby was at the podium and was appropriately grilled about why "the president lied about being at Ground Zero the day after the 9/11 attacks" among other falsehoods. "What is going on with the president? Is he just believing things that didn't happen did happen, or is he just randomly making stuff up?" 

Kirby completely dodged the question, and provided a non-answer to the very specific question, as the above clip of the tense exchange shows. 

Amazingly and surprisingly, CNN has run the following "fact check" headline, demonstrating just how blatant a falsehood it was (…when the Democrat-run White House has lost CNN, it's bad):

CNN continues to chronicle other recent lies as follows: 

Next, here's another moment a member of the White House press pool belatedly pushed for more answers regarding the growing Hunter Biden scandal…

Karine Jean-Pierre didn't even try to answer, but just walked off, as apparently the pointed question wasn't an approved, choreographed line of questioning.

Another moment this week where a tough journalist pressed the administration for serious answers – though again none were forthcoming, is seen in this important exchange between the State Dept spokesperson and correspondent Sam Husseini. The Biden official has a smirk on his face, appearing to almost chuckle at one point, as he dismisses the question entirely… 

All of the above is a mere fresh sampling of the types of questions that Biden and his officials will no longer be able to hide from and dodge headed into the 2024 election. He can expect many more like it, also given the Trump campaign will be unrelenting in pushing these things further into the spotlight.

While the Dems have carefully controlled Biden's interactions with the press thus far, largely shielding him while obfuscating and trying after embarrassing moments to clean up his messes (and not mere 'gaffes' as is becoming increasingly evident), this will simply become impossible as the presidential race grows more intense into next year.
