President Joe Biden’s apparent nap during the Memorial Day service has drawn criticism from netizens, who have accused him of disrespecting America’s fallen military heroes. The video, which shows Biden sitting with his eyes closed during Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s address, quickly went viral on social media, triggering condemnation from many. Some social media users referred to Biden as “sleepy Joe” and mocked him for being “out like a light” during the ceremony.
Others went further, calling Biden’s behavior a “disgrace” to America and saying he is “unfit” to be president. One Twitter user said, “Today, Joe Biden fell asleep during a memorial ceremony to honor our fallen heroes. We owe these brave service members and their families a profound apology for Biden’s embarrassing behavior.”
The incident has also raised questions about Biden’s overall mental fitness, with some speculating that his age may be a factor. Biden is the oldest person to ever serve as president, and he has previously been criticized for his occasional gaffes and missteps.
The backlash against Biden’s behavior during the Memorial Day service highlights the intense scrutiny that the president faces from both political opponents and the general public. Every move he makes is dissected and analyzed, and any misstep can quickly lead to criticism and ridicule. In this case, Biden’s apparent nap has given his critics further ammunition to question his fitness for office.
