During a special meeting at the White House over the weekend, President Joe Biden met with several network influencers, including independent journalist Jonathan Katz. The meeting was focused on discussing various issues that affect the country, but it quickly turned tense when Katz confronted Biden about his alleged support for the genocide in Gaza.
Biden became visibly upset and threatened to throw his phone at Katz, referring to him as a “typical journalist.” However, after calming down, Biden explained that he had been clear with the Israelis about what they should and should not do.
Katz continued to press Biden on whether he would consider cutting the budgets transferred to Israel as a form of consequence. At this point, Biden’s personal aides stepped in and escorted Katz out of the building.
The confrontation between Biden and Katz during the influencer party at the White House drew attention on social media, with a video of the incident circulating online. Despite the tense exchange, it highlighted the importance of addressing difficult questions and holding leaders accountable for their actions.
