When it was revealed that President Joe Biden will not hold a press conference while visiting Ireland, White House reporters were outraged, with one of them noting that former President Donald Trump "took questions practically every day!"
After the Easter Bunny arrived, John Kirby, the White House's top spokesperson for national security, received questions from the media for the first 45 minutes of Monday's press briefing. When asked, he told the media, "I don't expect there'll be a news conference on this trip."
Many of the reporters in the room were not happy about that, and they complained while asking White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre a series of ever-more-persistent questions on the matter.
