Is this really happening?


On Monday morning, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) tweeted this excerpt from a Politico article on President Joe Biden’s modest media presence:

“The president is not doing cable news interviews. Tweets from his account are limited and, when they come, unimaginably conventional. The public comments are largely scripted. Biden has opted for fewer sit down interviews with mainstream outlets and reporters.”


Then, without any hint of irony whatsoever, Cornyn suggested in his follow-up tweet that this restraint on Twitter usage is A Problem, Actually.

“Invites the question: is he really in charge?” the Texas Republican wondered.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki dismissed Cornyn’s bizarre swipe during a daily press briefing several hours later on Monday, saying Biden “does not spend his time tweeting conspiracy theories.”

This Sunday alone, Secretary of State Antony Blinken was on “Meet the Press,” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm hit “This Week” and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg pulled double duty on Fox News Sunday and State of the Union.

Biden’s Cabinet has also taken on the task that Obama largely shouldered alone in going to unconventional media outlets to help reach alternate audiences. In March, HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge did an interview with The Shade Room, a pop culture site for a young, Black audience. She discussed the stimulus checks and specifically how unhoused individuals could make sure they got one. The administration sent Dr. Anthony Fauci, a key Covid-19 adviser to the president, to do a nearly 30 minute Instagram Live event with Eugenio Derbez, a Mexican actor and self-admitted “vaccine skeptic,” where he answered questions about the efficacy and safety of the Covid-19 vaccines. The video has 1.2 million views and counting.....................................
