Press secretary highlights Biden's use of a 'fake White House' television set
There were many unique features to Joe Biden's presidency, with one of them being his habit of addressing Americans from a television set rather than the White House.
In a move sure to leave Democrats freaking out, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized that fact earlier this week.
Leavitt says Biden was "missing in action"
According to The Daily Fetched, Leavitt held a press conference in the set on Monday as a way to contrast the previous administration with that of President Donald Trump.
🔥HOLY SMOKES: @PressSec just EXPOSED the total sham that was the Biden White House "fake" Oval Office set:
"This beautiful...auditorium...he used this like it was a fake Oval Office, weirdly, oddly. He was missing in action. He called lids at 2:00 in the afternoon!"

"This beautiful...auditorium...he used this like it was a fake Oval Office, weirdly, oddly. He was missing in action. He called lids at two o'clock in the afternoon," Leavitt said of Biden.
"That is not acceptable around here," she continued before adding, "The president is willing to talk to anyone — not just journalists — who have really been posing as journalists, but are actually left wing activists."
"We’re in Biden’s fake Oval Office, everybody"
Leavitt's remarks came less than two months after the New York Post reported that Counselor to the President Alina Habba also drew attention to the television set, which was constructed in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
In a video sent out to her half a million social media followers, Habba could be seen saying, "We’re in Biden’s fake Oval Office, everybody."
"I now know why, I now get it," Habba continued before directing the person filming her to provide a view of the rest of the set.
This revealed an auditorium which had been equipped with theater seating along with lights, teleprompters, and cameras.
Habba, who also serves as acting U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, concluded by stating, "All I can say is the last administration was a 'disgratz.'"
Stephen Miller: set allowed Biden to use hidden teleprompters
Biden's use of the constructed set was long a point of contention for his critics, including White House adviser Stephen Miller.
In a 2021 social media post, Miller argued that the then president had to use the venue as it allowed him to surreptitiously use a teleprompter.
"The reason Biden uses this bizarre virtual set for televised meetings—and not an actual room like East Room, Cabinet, Oval, Roosevelt, Sit Room, etc.—is because it allows him to read a script directly from a face-on monitor ([and without] teleprompter glass that can be seen on camera)," Miller wrote.
