'They're tired of his lies': Internet divided as Donna Brazile laments ‘nobody listens’ when Biden speaks

WASHINGTON, DC: Donna Brazile, the former chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, remarked on Sunday that President Joe Biden needs to "speak out more," emphasizing her dismay that "nobody listens" to him when he does address the public, according to the New York Post.

During an interview on ABC's 'This Week,' Donna Brazile notably affirmed with "Absolutely" when asked if Biden should address the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine in public.

She then proceeded to criticize the media for their handling of Biden's public addresses.

Donna Brazile says ‘nobody listens’ when Biden speaks

She said, "Not just in Israel, Ukraine – we are a superpower. He is the commander-in-chief. Absolutely he should speak out more. And also, we should cover what he’s saying because often when he speaks, nobody listens."

Throughout his administration, it's notable that Biden has maintained a low profile in the media, engaging with the press significantly less than many of his predecessors.

According to political analyst Martha Kumar, no commander in chief since former President Ronald Reagan has held fewer news conferences than Biden.

Furthermore, when compared to the past six presidents during the same timeframe, Biden has also participated in fewer sit-down interviews.

In October, during his concluding address from the Oval Office, he urged Congress to approve over $100 billion in security and humanitarian aid for Taiwan, Israel, and Ukraine.

It's worth noting that it was only his second prime-time Oval Office speech as president.

Additionally, Democratic strategist Paul Begala remarked in February that, despite his tendency for mistakes, Biden should increase his visibility in front of cameras and microphones leading up to his rematch with former President Donald Trump in November.

During an appearance on CNN, Begala expressed, "I want to see more Joe Biden – the gaffes are built in."

It's worth noting that in front of large gatherings, Biden has frequently warned of potentially "getting in trouble" if he answers uninvited questions. At campaign stops and public events, the president has been heard asking staff members for permission to "take a couple of questions."
