US President Joe Biden’s age has once again become a subject of public discussion after a viral video captured him appearing frozen on stage. The 81-year-old was seen standing motionless, staring blankly at the crowd during a fundraising event at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Former President Barack Obama came to his rescue, aiding Biden off the stage after they addressed the enthusiastic audience.
The video, widely circulated online, has sparked renewed concerns about Biden’s mental and physical health. The incident follows a previous instance where Biden wandered away from G7 leaders, facing the wrong direction while conversing with someone behind the group. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, hosting the international summit in Puglia, had to intervene at that time.
Biden’s critics and supporters of former President Donald Trump have seized upon the recent video as evidence of Biden’s unfitness for office. Social media users have expressed their concerns and criticisms, questioning the president’s well-being. One user on X, formerly known as Twitter, stated, “Why does Biden keep freezing up like that? It’s so weird.” Another comment echoed, “I can’t stand Joe Biden, but at this point, Obama and Jill should be charged with elder abuse. The guy is completely checked out and they know it!”
The White House has refuted these criticisms, stating that the video was manipulated to portray the president in a negative light, according to LBC. It’s important to note that the video originated from a star-studded fundraising event where Biden and his team managed to raise a significant $28 million.
As Biden and Trump are expected to face off in a highly anticipated debate soon, the Republican presidential hopeful has taken aim at Biden, urging the commander-in-chief to undergo a cognition test before running for office. With the video circulating widely and sparking heated discussions, the focus remains on Biden’s health and his ability to effectively lead the nation.
