VIDEO: Angry Biden Snaps On Reporter
Biden is out of control.
President Biden’s response to a query about his potential second term stirred a wave of anger during his visit to Philadelphia. When confronted with the question of whether he would serve a full four-year term or pass the baton to Vice President Harris, Biden lashed out. With a hint of sarcasm, he asked the reporter’s well-being, questioning if a fall had occurred, before turning the attention back to the pressing matter at hand.
Accompanied by Senator Bob Casey and Maryland Governor Wes Moore, Biden’s exchange with the reporter went instantly viral. At 81, Biden’s age has naturally sparked discussions about his capacity for another term, given that it would extend into his mid-80s. However, Vice President Harris, when pressed on her readiness for the presidency, affirmed her readiness to serve in a previous interview.
This moment of banter is not an isolated incident in Biden’s interactions with the press. In the past, he has demonstrated a propensity for candid retorts, notably recalling an incident where he deemed a question about his son’s business affairs as “lousy.” Such instances underscore Biden’s directness and his willingness to engage with the media on a personal level.
While Biden’s quip may have provided a lighthearted moment, it also hints at the ongoing scrutiny over his health and fitness for office. Concerns have been raised, including by special counsel Robert Hur, regarding the president’s age and memory. However, Biden’s response reflects his resilience and his ability to navigate these inquiries with a blend of humor and assurance.
The White House has yet to offer an official comment on Biden’s remarks, leaving the incident to serve as a brief, but memorable, footnote in the ongoing narrative of the Biden administration.
