<p>Members of the White House Press Corps made it clear that they were not impressed with the lack of access they were getting to President <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>.</p>
<p>During Monday&#8217;s regular <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2023/04/10/press-briefing-by-press-secretary-karine-jean-pierre-and-national-security-council-coordinator-for-strategic-communications-john-kirby-10/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">briefing</a> — which included a brief visit from the Easter Bunny — several reporters questioned White House Press Secretary <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/karine-jean-pierre/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karine Jean-Pierre</a> about Biden&#8217;s imminent trip to Ireland and whether or not he planned to take any of their questions in the near future.</p>
<p>Gray TV White House correspondent Jon Decker asked Jean-Pierre directly, noting that there were no planned press conferences on the books either in the United States or abroad.</p>
<p>&#8220;I represent a news organization that owns 113 television stations. And a question that I’m often asked — and I don’t know the answer to, so I’ll ask you that question: Is the administration trying to protect the president from our questions? Please answer that question if you could,&#8221; he asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;Absolutely not. Absolutely not,&#8221; Jean-Pierre insisted.</p>
<p>Decker continued to press on the lack of any formal press conferences, but Jean-Pierre objected, &#8220;I mean, the president takes shouted questions.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;In a formal — in a formal setting,&#8221; Decker protested.</p>
<p>&#8220;I understand. I have dealt with this question about three times already. I understand it is — it is — it is the job of you all to ask this question to me. Totally get that. And that’s not a problem at all,&#8221; Jean-Pierre said, claiming again that Biden had taken many direct questions, but repeating that she did not have any information about upcoming press conferences.</p>

<p>&#8220;You recognize — just one last thing. Just to button it up. You recognize that as it relates to prior administrations, the president’s predecessor, President Obama, President George W. Bush — I’ve been here long enough to have covered President Bill Clinton — this is not the norm,&#8221; Decker pushed back. &#8220;The norm is we do get an opportunity, ask the questions to the president about domestic and foreign policy issues in a formal setting at some point, and you choose that point. But we haven’t had that opportunity in quite some time.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jean-Pierre tried again, claiming that it was &#8220;also unprecedented&#8221; that Biden took &#8220;as many shouted questions&#8221; from reporters as he did.</p>
<p>Decker called her out immediately, saying, &#8220;No. I covered the last administration, and I’ll tell you: Almost every day, up until — the November 2020 election, Donald Trump took questions practically every day!&#8221;</p>
<p>Jean-Pierre moved on then, dismissing the topic: &#8220;I hear you. I hear you on the press conference — on a formal press conference. We get this probably every couple of months when you guys ask us about a formal press conference. I don’t have anything to share with all of you at this time. And — and I’ll just — I’ll just leave it there.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fox News anchor Dana Perino weighed in the topic later, asking why the White House Press Corps was even traveling to Ireland with the president if he didn&#8217;t intend to let them ask any questions.</p>
<p><strong>WATCH:</strong></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">DANA PERINO: &quot;The President&#39;s going away for 5 days to Belfast, will not take any questions from the press. So, at this point, why is the White House Press Corps going?&quot;</p>
<p>Biden is currently spending 5 days in Ireland and still has yet to visit East Palestine, Ohio. <a href="https://t.co/tnDOuCnHAG">pic.twitter.com/tnDOuCnHAG</a></p>
