Joe Biden joked about running over a reporter who asked him about Israel.
The media surrounding them laughed adoringly as he sped away from them without answering the question.
Biden was pitching his $174 billion electric vehicle plan Tuesday at the Ford Motor Co. Rouge Electric Vehicle Center, before touring the plant and test driving an electric F-150 pickup truck prior to its big reveal Wednesday evening.
While driving the vehicle, Biden stopped to speak to reporters who were gathered.
“Mr. President, can I ask you a quick question on Israel before you drive away since it’s so important?” the reporter asked.
“No you can’t. Not unless you get in front of the car as I step on it. I’m only teasing,” Biden said, before speeding off.
