<p>Michael LaRosa — who once worked as former First Lady Jill Biden&#8217;s press secretary — went scorched earth on his ex-employer during a recent Fox News appearance, saying that President Joe Biden and his family were &#8220;allergic to transparency.&#8221;</p>
<p>LaRosa joined &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends: Weekend&#8221; on Sunday to discuss the recently-released audio of former President Joe Biden&#8217;s interview with then-Special Counsel Robert Hur, and he commented specifically on how difficult it was for even those working for the Bidens in the White House — like himself — to get a &#8220;straight answer&#8221; out of anyone.</p>

<p>Host Rachel Campos Duffy asked LaRosa about the Hur interview audio, specifically questioning him on how things might have changed if the Bidens had been unsuccessful in keeping the audio out of the public square even after the transcripts were released.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you only knew how hard it was — I mean, this was a group in the White House who were allergic to transparency,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And I go back to my — and I&#8217;m just talking about like just in the East Wing [the First Lady&#8217;s office]. I mean, the very first day walking into the White House, the usher was fired and I couldn&#8217;t get reporters straight answers because nobody would give me straight answers.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It was not intuitive to them, it was not their style, to be transparent about anything,&#8221; LaRosa continued. &#8220;They took days and months to be deliberative, and I&#8217;m talking about the small things. About when the dog bites occurred, or about the wedding with the grandkids. They got caught lying to the press about press coverage because they were so scared to be transparent about anything.&#8221;</p>
<p>LaRosa said he eventually got to the point where he had to consider the possibility that if they were unwilling to be even the slightest bit transparent on the little things, &#8220;My God, what would happen if there were big things?&#8221;</p>
<p>LaRosa&#8217;s comments came just two days ahead of the release of &#8220;Original Sin&#8221; — the book from CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson on Biden&#8217;s obvious <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-book-promises-to-deliver-bombshells-but-are-they-bombshells-if-everyone-already-knew" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cognitive and physical decline</a> — and hours before Biden&#8217;s office revealed that he had an &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doctors-raise-questions-about-timing-of-biden-cancer-diagnosis-unbelievable-this-was-missed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aggressive form</a>&#8221; of prostate cancer that had metastasized to his bones.</p>
