A NBC reporter tried in an unconventional way to get Vice President Joe Biden to say Thursday whether he would run for President.
She shouted her questions to him from a distance as he stood outside the Naval Observatory waiting for South Korean President Park Geun-hye to arrive.
It was a style reminiscent of the infamous “what about your gaffes?” question shouted to GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney during the 2012 election.
“Are you running for President?” NBC reporter Kristen Welker shouted at Biden.
“I’ll answer in Korean,” Biden said, to some laughter.
“Have you made your decision yet?” Welker shouted.
“I can’t hear you,” he said.
“Have you made your decision yet?” Welker called out, even louder.
Biden held up his hands and laughed.
“Do Democrats deserve your decision, Mr. Vice President?” Welker asked.
“I’ll tell you what,” he said. “It’s good to see you all.”
MSNBC played the clip multiple times on air on Thursday. Welker also tweeted about her question:
I asked @VP if he’s running for president. He jokingly told me I’ll answer in Korean

Watch the exchange:
Our national press corps is always so classy.
Oh, Your, GOD the MSM is getting DESPERATE to drag Biden into the fray (at the behest of their Oligarch Masters.)
They realize, if Biden does not get in soon, they may actually have to DO THEIR JOBS and report on things like: Policy, Experience, Voting-Records, etc. as opposed to the TMZ “he said-She said” reporting they love so much (and can do with nothing but a tweet.)
I love Joe, but he really needs to flush or get off.
““I’ll tell you what,” he said. “It’s good to see you all.””
A CLASSIC Biden way of saying “go fuck yourself, toots” if I ever heard one hahahaha
What a bunch of cosmic douchebaggery from these people. Our MSM has to surpassing durian and approaching black-face on the scale of the most unappetizing, unpalatable, disgusting things in the cosmos.
I’ll bet I know what Biden would have liked to say, but then the NYT would have a sad.
