President Joe Biden recently grabbed the headlines yet again this week as a video clip went viral that led to some social media users calling it “elder abuse.”
It has been noted that before the 81-year-old commander-in-chief lifted the microphone off the table at the formation of a task force focused on reducing costs for American families, he began uttering the well-known but perplexing refrain.
He gave the microphone a rough sigh before setting it down again. He then just stared straight ahead, mouth open, ignoring the reporter’s few desperate attempts to get one last question in before they left.
“I have a lot of questions. I better not start the questions. I’ll get in trouble,” Biden mumbled, garnering a few laughs from the audience.
Former Democratic Party campaign advisor Peter Daou sounded off on X, formerly known as Twitter, by saying, “Oh my Lord. This man is not well.”
It was only hours ahead Biden’s strange actions, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre reprimanded a reporter for questioning why the president frequently uses notecards when making public announcements. Jean-Pierre immediately defended Biden, even though the reporter made no indication as to whether or not such reliance is a sign of deteriorating mental health.
“You’re upset because the President has note cards? You’re asking me a question about the President having note cards? The President who has had probably one of the most successful first three years of an administration than any modern-day president? He’s done more in the first three years than most presidents who had the two terms,” Jean-Pierre replied, dodging the question.
He's not well, and Dr. Jill should be ashamed. https://t.co/ur7ZG0vmF8
