White House Closes Puppy Bill Signing to the Press as Afghanistan Debacle Continues

Charlie Spiering 25 Aug 2021

The White House plans to keep Joe Biden away from the cameras on Wednesday as he signs a bill about puppies.

Biden plans to sign the “Puppies Assisting Wounded Servicemembers (PAWS) for Veterans Therapy Act” in the afternoon but the White House has closed the event to the press.

The PAWS bill creates a pilot program for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder to train service dogs and allows the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide service dogs to veterans with mental health problems.

The president will also sign the “Harlem Hellfighters Congressional Gold Medal Act” on Wednesday, but that event is also closed to the press.

The White House limited press access to the president as he has struggled with criticism while walking away from questions about Afghanistan, turning his back to reporters after delivering a speech, and leaving the room.

White House aides will try to pivot their attention to cybersecurity, as Biden tries to move beyond the debacle in Afghanistan.

Well they certainly couldn't risk having either wounded vets or the media there, the former would rip him a new one and the press is no longer willing to ask him pre approved softball questions.
