McEnany says Biden’s joke about running over reporter ‘insane,’ calls press 'sycophants'

President Biden ‘teased’ a reporter after she asked a question about the Israel-Gaza conflict

Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany sounded off on President Biden for his joke about running over a reporter, pointing out the "interesting" dynamic between the press and the president on ‘Mornings with Maria.’

KAYLEIGH MCENANY: I'm stunned, too. I mean, obviously, if this would have been President Trump who had made the joke, there would have been outrage. But the lead-up to this is really interesting because he had just had an eight-minute conversation with Rashida Tlaib, where he was pressed on Israel. He gets in the truck and then he's asked by a reporter about Israel, prompting him to say he wants to run over the reporter. It's insane. But what is even more insane is what happens at the end of that clip. Maria, the white the press corps cackles as he drives away as if they're sycophants in love with this president despite his threat to run over them. It is a interesting dynamic.

BIDEN JOKES ABOUT RUNNING OVER REPORTER WITH VEHICLE WHEN ASKED ABOUT ISRAEL DURING FORD TEST DRIVE

And he [President Biden] spends eight minutes with her [Rashida Tlaib]. And then you're exactly right to go on and praise her. What kind of message does this send to Hamas? What kind of message does this send to our greatest ally in the Middle East, Israel? It's unacceptable. And it just shows on each and every issue he has caved to the radical left.

You've had Secretary of State Anthony Blinken come out and say the Abraham accords are good. So she's [Jen Psaki] out of sync with her own administration, who has at least given that credit to President Trump? It is counterfactual, that statement. These are for Middle East peace deals, normalization of relations with Arab countries. No president has had four. It's been 25 years since we've even had one.
