Newsweek has reached out to the White House for comment.U.S. King said that the South Court Auditorium is usually a 'generic, stadium-style meeting room with four or five rows of seats space in the back of the room for cameras sitting on tripods a small buffer area in front of the stage for still photographers to capture the key moment and handy backstage doors for easy ingress and egress by the principals.'īoth Donald Trump and Barack Obama used the same auditorium for policy announcements but the Biden/Harris administration seems to be making more use of the space. 'Presidents can fly on Air Force One across the country-or even around the world-for a photo worthy to print on the top of the fold of U.S.

While former White House events director Josh King explained that the use of the new area is down to 'PoliOptics.'

But we're supposed to entrust them with all of our personal health decisions?'īut there is a logical explanation as to why the White House has decided to construct a set version of the Oval Office.

While conservative YouTuber Dave Rubin asked: 'Fake President sitting in fake oval office with fake flowers in fake window says what?' The set prompted mockery and outrage from Biden critics who took to social media to complain about the creation of the fake set.Īlt-right activist Jack Posobiec tweeted: 'They gave Joe Biden a playschool desk and a fake Oval Office in a fake White House.' These events did not take place in the White House itself, but in the South Court Auditorium of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building which is part of the White House complex. Then on Wednesday, the president held another event, a virtual gathering with business leaders, in front of the same digital window displays.
