This bizarre incident left onlookers confused and shocked.
No one was quite sure what to do.
Joe Biden totally fell asleep onstage during a major public appearance.
Questions are continuing to swirl about the apparent decline in Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities over the past year.
While many people already had suspicions that he was in decline during the 2020 election, it appears to have gotten quite a bit worse in recent months.
He has had a string of bizarre incidents in public that make people wonder if he’s simply not capable of performing the duties of president anymore.
The latest incident is certainly not going to do anything to soothe people’s doubts, and in fact it is causing strong reactions online.
Biden was doing a ceremonial appearance at a Memorial Day celebration with Lloyd Austin, his Secretary of Defense, among other guests.
But while Austin was speaking on stage, Biden appeared to fall asleep, closing his eyes for an extended period of time and making an odd face.
As the video of this incident spread across the internet, people were shocked and worried, and many people felt it was time for Biden to step down.
According to Newsweek, “A video appearing to show President Biden with his eyes shut for an extended period during a Memorial Day event on Monday has been widely shared on social media, with conservative activists alleging he was sleeping during an address by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.”
“Biden commemorated Memorial Day at the Arlington National Cemetery on Monday where he laid a wreath by the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier as part of an annual show of respect.”
“On X (formerly Twitter), a number of conservative-leaning accounts shared a 48-second clip in which an unknown person zooms in on Biden during television coverage of the Memorial Day event. An unidentified woman’s voice can be heard saying: ‘Look Biden’s sleeping. His eyes have been closed for about 30 seconds.’”
The video does in fact seem to show Biden dozing off during the speech, which is a really unfortunate thing to have happen to the sitting president of the most powerful nation on Earth.
The article continues, “The X account of Graham Allen, a conservative social media commentator with over 410,000 followers on the platform, also shared the footage, writing: ‘Joe Biden was literally sleeping during a MEMORIAL DAY ceremony. DISGUSTING.’”
“Ian Miles Cheong, a popular conservative commentator with over one million X followers, also posted the video, adding: ‘Biden fell asleep at the Memorial Day address. What in the world is wrong with him?’”
This incident highlights the serious concerns that voters have with Biden, which explains his dramatic decline in poll numbers for the general election in November.
People simply don’t think he can do the job anymore. And regardless of what they think of his opponent, they can’t vote for someone who’s in cognitive decline.
This incident on Memorial Day is another public embarrassment for the Biden campaign, who continues to stubbornly plow ahead like nothing is wrong.
