According to Jack Posobiec, the Vatican cut off the live stream with President Biden because of the White House’s requests regarding the meeting.
Posobiec made the claims during his “Human Events Daily” podcast posted Friday night.
Many news outlets reported in their coverage of the Vatican’s move that it did so without explanation. David Rutz, writing for Fox News, pointed out that “White House press fumes over restricted access to Biden meeting with Pope Francis.”
Quoting a member of the White House Advance Team, who provided the podcast with an exclusive, Posobiec explained that:
“The White House Advance Team and Vatican Advance Team had last minute disagreement over shooting angles, moving in for sound bites, cut off time for live footage, and a plethora of other choreography-related issues.”
And I said, ‘what did you mean?’
“Advance Team One had soundbites. Biden had a few lines memorized and they wanted the Pope to say something specific in response to those lines. Plus specific camera angles. It was supposed to be playing it up for Catholic America. The Vatican said ‘you’ll get what you’ll get but we aren’t going to do these movie sequel scenes.’ Advance Team said no. Vatican said ‘fine, no live footage at all.’
Obviously something that should have been brought up in advance. He was going to thank Francis for praying for America, and then Biden was going to say that he’s working hard to bring prayer back into the American way of life in the midst of these trying times.
He was also going to tell Francis his favorite verse, and all that soundbite stuff. They were hoping that Francis, then, would say something in response to him that could be seen as the Pope’s endorsement of Biden as a true Catholic.”
Posobiec went on to offer “so you get it, they wanted to do all this stuff to set up Biden because of his issues when it comes to the question of abortion.”
The podcast went on to play a clip of an exchange Madeline also covered, which was White House Press Secretary snapping at EWTN’s Owen Jensen for asking if Biden and Pope Francis’ discussion on their “efforts grounded in respect for fundamental human dignity” would “include the human dignity of the unborn.”
By During the testy exchange, when Psaki pointed out that Jensen often asked about abortion, Psaki emphasized that Biden and Francis agreed on other issues, and would be discussing those.
