Joe And Jill Biden Chew Out Press at Summit of the Americas
Joe and Jill Biden both chewed out the press Friday evening over coverage of the Summit of the Americas being held this week in Los Angeles, according to reports by radio pool reporter Patsy Widakuswara with Voice of America. Earlier in the week, Joe Biden complained to reporters about press coverage in an off the record meeting on Air Force One on the flight to Los Angeles.
The summit was boycotted by leaders of Mexico and several other Central American nations, catching the White House off guard (again).

Widakuswara posted to Twitter, “.@POTUS seemed unhappy with news coverage of #SummitoftheAmericas. He looked at us and said “I wish they’d go back and interview all the heads of state.” Said there was “overwhelming support for what we’re trying to do by holding all the hemisphere together…@FLOTUS said @nytimes article on #SummitAmericas was “so unfair” because at the dinner “every leader came up to Joe and said, ‘what a difference you’ve made. It’s so great that you’re here. It’s so great that we’re working together.’ And that’s what all the spouses said to me.”

Or perhaps this article upset them? Bloomberg’s Maya Averbuch, “It’s been a hell of a week! Boycotts, bluster, and lackluster pledges made the Summit of the Americas far from the show of unity the US had wanted.”
