Ex-Biden WH staffer rips former president’s team for approving quotes and scripting questions: ‘It was really unethical’
Story by Victor Nava • 10h
Former President Joe Biden’s White House staff made “really unethical” demands of the press as part of a campaign to “bully” journalists into portraying the aging commander in chief in a good light, a former staffer revealed Tuesday.
“They did bully a lot of journalists, and I think they would tell you that now. They wouldn’t have told you at the time,” Michael LaRosa, who served as former first lady Jill Biden’s press secretary, told “The Young Turks” host Cenk Uygur.
The former president’s communications team, led by Anita Dunn, was “very hostile and very suspicious” of journalists and treated their jobs as if they were operating “out of a bunker,” LaRosa said.
“I never understood it because there was so much goodwill that [Biden] had with the media, had with the press, coming off of Donald Trump,” he added.
