Biden’s Aggressive Whispering at Media During Press Conference Raises Eyebrows
President Joe Biden spontaneously whispered at reporters during a Thursday press conference, raising eyebrows among some observers.
The president aggressively whispered once in reference to Covid-19 stimulus legislation. Leaning into his microphone, Biden said in a hushed tone, “I got them $1.9 trillion in relief so far. They’re going to be getting checks in the mail that are consequential.”
He didn’t stop there. He used the same technique in reference to environmental legislation, telling reporters, “I wrote the bill on the environment.” He used the technique in another instance to address the grievance that government assistance for the unemployed was preventing employers from finding employees, saying, “Pay them more. This is an employee’s bargaining chip now.”
Critics on social media weighed in on Biden’s whispers, labeling it with adjectives that ranged from “weird” to “creepy.”

Biden’s constant whisper may be weirder than Kamala’s constant laugh

Did anyone catch the bizarro loud whisper thing Biden did 3x in his presser just now? PLEASE tell me at least @nbcsnl is all over this…
p.s. I have to add that he’s not wrong about worker’s rights, but he’s also not doing a lot to fix it. Ahem. #PayThemMore #BidenWhisper pic.twitter.com/hS6JMwZGyA
