Biden’s fall at Air Force commencement draws concern, mockery: ‘This isn’t fair to anyone’
President Biden’s trip was the latest in a series of tumbles during his time in the White House
President Biden’s latest fall was denounced as “sad” and an example of “elder abuse” after the video went viral on Thursday afternoon.
After delivering a commencement speech at the U.S. Air Force Academy, Biden took a sudden tumble onto the floor after appearing to trip over a sandbag. Three Secret Service agents quickly raced to steady the 80-year-old president who was able to walk away without further incident.
White House communications director Ben Labolt later confirmed, “He’s fine. There was a sandbag on stage while he was shaking hands.”
RedState senior editor Brandon Morse commented, “Yeah, but at least he didn’t make his way slowly down a ramp.”
“When Trump walked cautiously down a slick ramp at a military graduation, it sparked tons of coverage about his health. Something tells me you won’t find similar coverage making the rounds among legacy media this time,” Heritage Foundation social media manager Christian Julio Lasval remarked.
