Twitter users scorched National Security Council spokesman John Kirby for his speechless response to a question on President Biden being seen as "corrupt" by a majority of Americans.

While discussing foreign-policy related issues, Kirby appeared to be taken aback after New York Post reporter Steven Nelson remarked that 53% of Americans, including approximately one fourth of Democrats, now believe that Biden was involved in "an illegal influence peddling scheme" with his son Hunter during his tenure as vice president.

"So, what do you say to the majority of Americans who believe that the president is himself corrupt?" Nelson asked.

"Wow," Kirby initially responded while shaking his head. A woman could be heard exclaiming, "Jesus!" in the background, along with some chuckles from other reporters.

WATCH: WH OFFICIAL LEFT SPEECHLESS WHEN ASKED WHETHER BIDEN IS ‘CORRUPT’: ‘NOTHING TO THESE CLAIMS’ 

After a long pause he answered, "The president has spoken to this and there's nothing to these claims. And as for the whistleblower issue that you talked about and in the document — I believe the FBI has spoken to that, and you're going to have to go to them on that."

Kirby’s answer, along with his apparent frustrated demeanor, was attacked on social media for ignoring the question and ongoing investigation into the Biden family.

"Better question: what did the Chinese communist party think they were getting in return for funneling millions of dollars to Hunter Biden?" radio host Buck Sexton asked.

Twitchy's Doug Powers joked, "’There's nothing to this because Biden says so.’ Well, in that case, call off the investigation!"

"The only thing I heard Biden denying was his involvement w/Hunter's Business Deals. And that's been demonstrably proven to be a lie," writer Jeff Carlson tweeted.

"Well if Joe Biden says he’s not corrupt them that settles it. I’m convinced!" former congressional candidate David Giglio agreed, adding facepalm and clown emojis.

Writer Kate Kisset said, "While the press giggles, remember what Kirby said about our disastrous departure from Afghanistan which resulted in the loss of 13 Marines, the maiming of hundreds more and the abandonment of Americans, allies, and Afganis who risked their lives to help us. ‘For all this talk of chaos, I just didn't see it. Not from my perch. At one point during the evacuation, there was an aircraft taking off full of people, Americans and Afghans alike, every 48 minutes. And not one single mission was missed,' he said Apr 7, 2023."

"The Biden administration truly thinks you're stupid," National Mouth editor Tim Young commented after quoting the exchange.

The question followed the House Oversight Committee's investigation to look into a possible criminal scheme between Biden’s family and foreign nationals to influence policy decisions. In addition, an IRS whistleblower allegedly disclosed efforts to slow-roll the investigation into Hunter Biden’s finances.

Russia continued its deadly attacks on Ukraine in Kyiv on Thursday, killing at least three people, including a child, and wounding several others.

The Ukrainian capital was hit in the early morning hours with ground-launched missiles, killing two adults and one child, the Kyiv City Administration reported, and at least ten others were wounded – the highest casualty toll from one attack in the capital over the past month. 

Earlier in the day, the city initially said two children were killed, but revised the number to one.

Apartment buildings, a medical clinic, a water pipeline and cars were damaged in the attack, which comes after a reported 17 drone and missile attacks on Kyiv in May.

RUSSIA LAUNCHES DEADLY PRE-DAWN AIR RAID ON KYIV WHILE MOSCOW CLAIMS CITY ATTACKED BY DRONES

Ukraine's General Staff reported that its Air Forces intercepted all 10 short-range ballistic Iskander missiles, according to The Associated Press. While Ukraine's air defense has become increasingly effective at intercepting the drones and missiles, the resulting debris are also a danger.

Kyiv authorities issued a dire message to residents after a woman was killed watching an aerial attack from her balcony earlier this week.

"You’ve got to be vigilant, as ballistic missiles fly at incredible speeds. From the moment the alarm is announced to the rocket’s arrival, you have only a few seconds!" authorities warned, adding that residents need to stay in shelters or other safe locations when warning sirens go off.

In the Desnianskyi district, debris fell on a children's hospital and a nearby multi-story building, and two schools and a police department were damaged.

Burning debris landed on a residential building in Dniprovskyi, causing heavy smoke to rise and blasting out windows, which resulted in debris falling in the roadway and courtyards. Parked cars also caught on fire.

The Darnytskyi neighborhood also recorded damage to a water pipeline and a residential building, which experienced broken windows from the explosive wave.

PUTIN SAYS DRONE ATTACKS ON MOSCOW ARE ATTEMPT BY UKRAINE 'TO INTIMIDATE RUSSIA'

Russian forces have repeatedly attacked Kyiv since the start of the invasion in February 2022, but attacks against the capital have intensified in recent weeks as Ukraine preps for a counteroffensive.

Ukraine also claimed it downed some of Russia's hypersonic Kinzhal missiles last month, weapons Russian President Vladimir Putin believes provide the country with a key competitive advantage.

In addition to the Thursday attack on Kyiv, Russian forces carried out three aerial attacks on Wednesday over the south of the Kherson region. Heavy artillery and missile strikes also took place in other parts of the region.
