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."
Video and images of the fall immediately spread across Twitter with several users either mocking media coverage compared to former President Donald Trump or attacking the scene as cruel and "reckless."
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.
Outkick founder Clay Travis wrote, "Joe Biden just took a big fall on the stage at the Air Force Academy graduation. This is elder abuse. He isn’t well."
His co-host Buck Sexton agreed, "Democrat apparatchiks who continue to push this decrepit puppet as our Commander-in-Chief and want 4 more years for him are reckless beyond words."
"This is not funny. This is just sad. Under no circumstances should this man be our President in 2025. Praying for our country," Rep. Wesley Hunt, R-Texas, tweeted.
