Speculation about why Tuesday's Oval Office press call was shut down have ranged from Joe Biden needing his afternoon nap to the president having died last year and been replaced by an actor!
Netizens have ridiculed White House "psokes"-woman Jen Psaki's hissy-fit at British PM Boris Johnson's unscripted call for questions from the press — at a press conference.
US President Joe Biden's press secretary told reporters that Tuesday's Oval Office media call was cut short by staffers shouting the house down because BoJo hadn't told them he would open the floor to the British hack pack that followed him across the Atlantic.

"I think our relationship with the United Kingdom and Prime Minister Johnson is so strong and abiding we will be able to move beyond this", Psaki said in a Wednesday night Q&A. "But he called on members of his press corps without alerting us to that intention in advance".

Asked by another reporter if Biden felt "upstaged" by Johnson, Psaki insisted: "I think the president has not spent a moment worrying about it".
Twitter users pointed out the irony of cutting off a press conference because the star of the show offered to do the customary thing and answer questions from the guests.
Not a few thought the presser was cut short because it was time for the president's nap.
Others commented on the hypocrisy of the colonial upstarts.
The incident also prompted some wild conspiracy theories...
