Joe Biden snapped at a female reporter, saying “you are such a pain in the neck.”

NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell apparently asked a question “off-topic” because it was not related to his meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi in the Oval Office. Biden didn’t like this and he cut her off mid-sentence.

O’Donnell said, “Mr. President, Veterans Affairs is going to have a mandate for its healthcare—”

Then Biden cut her off. “You are such a pain in the neck, but I’m going to answer your question because we’ve known each other so long,” Biden responded. “It has nothing to do with Iraq.”

“Yes, Veteran Affairs is going to, in fact, require that all doctors working in their facilities are gonna have to be vaccinated,” Biden added.

CNN political commentator Scott Jennings responded to the incident by writing on Twitter: “Verbally abusive and dismissive of a female journalist. Keeps happening over and over. Why?”

Biden erupted at CNN’s Kaitlan Collins back in June following his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Why are you so confident he’ll change his behavior, Mr. President?” Collins asked.

“I’m not confident he’ll change his behavior,” Biden erupted. “Where the hell — what do you do all the time? When did I say I was confident?… I said …what I said was, let’s get it straight, I said what will change their behavior is if the rest of the world reacts to them and it diminishes their standing in the world,” he continued. “I am not confident of anything. I am just stating the facts.”

“But given his past behavior has not changed and in that press conference after sitting down with you for several hours, he denied any involvement in cyberattacks. He downplayed human rights abuses. He even refused to say Alexey Navalny’s name,” Collins pushed. “So how does that account to a constructive meeting, as President Putin put it?”

TRENDING 👇 First Federal Agency Announces Vaccine Mandate

And so it begins… Veterans Affairs becomes the first federal agency to mandate the COVID vaccine, Fox News reports.

Health care personnel will be obligated to take the drug. Rueters says this impacts more than 100,000 health care workers.

Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough decided to make the COVID-19 vaccinations mandatory for all VA health care personnel. This includes physicians, dentists, nurses and others who work in patient-facing roles. The agency says this is a “necessary step” to keep the veterans it serves “safe.”

Employees have eight weeks to comply and must be fully vaccinated. McDonough said, “We’re mandating vaccines for Title 38 employees because it’s the best way to keep veterans safe, especially as the delta variant spreads across the country.”

“Whenever a veteran or a VA employee sets foot in a VA facility, they deserve to know that we have done everything in our power to protect them from COVID-19,” he continued. “With this mandate, we can once again make – and keep – that fundamental promise.”
