Twitter Savages Biden After He Wanders From Podium, Appears To Need Help Getting Off Stage
Following a speech announcing plans to relaunch the White House’s “Cancer Moonshot” initiative on Wednesday, President Joe Biden appeared to get lost as he left the podium, first going in the wrong direction, then turning back to shake hands with several officials before apparently being reminded to put on his mask by Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.). Finally, with a little help from first lady Jill Biden, Biden was taken off the platform.
What has been the response?
Twitter users can always be counted on to point out the president’s flaws. First, Biden repeated his weird whispering. Why isn’t someone telling him to stop?

Finally, the first lady rescued him and brought him off the platform, holding his hand as he stumbled and appeared to be losing his equilibrium. “So much strength communicated here,” a video captioned on Twitter.
