Joe rips ‘pain in neck’ reporter

President Biden on Monday called a reporter a “pain in the neck” for floutin the chief executive’s request for questions only about the United States ending its combat mission in Iraq.

NBC News reporter Kelly O’Donnell asked Biden instead about reports that the Department of Veterans Affairs would require its workers staff to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

“You are such a pain in the neck. But I’m going to answer your question because we’ve known each other for so long. It has nothing to do with Iraq,” Biden said, before confirming that the VA would, in fact, be the first federal agency to compel vaccination.

Biden was hosting Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa alKadhimi when he rebuked the veteran journalist.

O’Donnell was elected this month to be president of the White House Correspondents’ Association.

The association picks presidents two years in advance and her one-year term begins in 2023.

Biden is well-known for being short-tempered with reporters — although his defenders point out that former President Donald Trump routinely called news outlets “fake news” and certain journalists “enemies of the people.”

Last month, Biden apologized to CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins after taking personal jabs at her in Geneva, and last October, he blasted CBS News reporter Bo Erickson for asking him about The Post’s reporting on documents from his son Hunter’s laptop.
