‘No One Is Safe’: Biden Terrorizes White House Staff With Verbal Abuse: REPORT
Jake Smith on July 10, 2023
Behind closed doors, President Joe Biden routinely yells and curses at White House staff, provoking so much discomfort that many are reluctant to meet with him alone, Axios reported Monday.
Biden, who turns 81 later this year, will often have intense outbursts of anger and yell obscenities at his staff during meetings at the White House, according to Axios. This includes so-called “stump the chump” interrogations designed to reveal staffers’ ignorance and often results in staff feeling wary of meeting with the president one-on-one.
“No one is safe,” said one administration official, according to Axios.
Some of the president’s reported outbursts at staff include him yelling “God dammit, how the [expletive] don’t you know this?… Don’t [expletive]ing bullshit me!… Get the [expletive] out of here!
Biden is also known to regularly shout at junior staffers, according to Axios.
For instance, when a junior aide joined him in his car and asked him to perform fundraising duties, Biden reportedly told him to “Get the f**k out of the car.”
“There’s no question that the Biden temper is for real. It may not be as volcanic as Bill Clinton’s, but it’s definitely there,” Chris Whipple, author of “The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden’s White House,” told Axios.
Biden on topics until it’s clear they don’t know the answer to a question — a routine that some see as meticulous and others call “stump the chump” or “stump the dummy.”
The White House did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
