Sleepy Joe decided to run away from reporters when questions started getting too hot.
Reporters asked Joe Biden if he would pardon Hunter if he were convicted.
Rather than answering the serious and legitimate question, he exits the room.
Maybe he was going to take a nap?
Watch it here:

Of course, since Joe himself couldn’t answer.
The White House Press Secretary had to.
More about that from The Hill:
The White House reiterated on Friday that President Biden would not pardon his son Hunter Biden if he is convicted of a crime.
When asked if Biden would commute his son’s sentence if convicted on gun charges, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said no. This marks the first definitive answer the administration has given since Hunter Biden was formally charged on Thursday, though a similar message was first floated in July.
“I’ve answered this question before,” Jean-Pierre said, referencing the July briefing. “It was asked of me not too long ago, a couple of weeks ago, and I was very clear, and I said no.”
Hunter Biden was indicted on three felony gun charges, alleging that the younger Biden illegally purchased a gun while on drugs. The charges could carry a 10 year sentence if convicted.
This man has no confidence in anything he is doing.
He is a puppet on strings being controlled by other Democrats.

NBC News has additional information on the story:
In her response, Jean-Pierre noted that she answered a similar question after the president’s son was first hit with a felony gun charge.
“I’ve answered this question before. It was asked of me not too long ago, a couple of weeks ago, and I was very clear, and I said no,” she said, referring to previous comments from the podium.
Hunter Biden was indicted Thursday by special counsel David Weiss on three counts tied to possession of a gun while using narcotics. The circumstances of the charges are very different from the previous ones.
This guy ‘won’ the popular vote more than anyone in American history, by the way guys.
81 MILLION votes.
Don’t forget that.
