A video capturing President Joe Biden attending a solemn wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of The Unknown Soldier is going viral online, depicting the President as extremely disoriented and confused.
During the Veterans Day ceremony in Arlington, President Biden placed a wreath in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Vice President Kamala Harris, representatives of the U.S. Armed Forces, and a sizable civilian audience were present.
After being handed the wreath by a U.S. Army service member, Biden stood before the tomb for an extended period. When he attempted to walk away, he hesitated, appeared to stumble, and seemed confused about his surroundings. Turning to a service member next to the tomb, Biden looked for direction, and the service member guided him back in line next to the vice president for the remainder of the ceremony.
The video has sparked reactions on social media, with many describing the situation as “embarrassing” and “pathetic.” Critics voiced concerns about the President’s fitness for his role, while others expressed discomfort with the incident during a solemn ceremony.
Talk radio host Michael Brown wrote, “Time to go home. Pathetic at such a solemn ceremony. We shouldn’t laugh at this. Instead, we should recognize the Commander-in-Chief is incapable of being the CnC. Someone stop this madness. Looking to you @FLOTUS. Do you love him? Take him home.”
As one user sarcastically said, “Our enemies must be shaking in their boots.”
GOP Rapid Response Director Jake Schneider said, “This is just so embarrassing.”
“Joe Biden wanders around like a doddering fool during a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery,” one user wrote on social media.
President Biden has faced similar scrutiny in the past, notably when he fell on stage at the United States Air Force Academy Graduation in Colorado in June. Despite these incidents, during his Veterans Day speech at Arlington Cemetery, Biden praised America’s veterans as the “steel spine of this nation” and paid tribute to those who have contributed to the country’s freedom.
