As the video of Joe Biden slipping, tumbling, and falling on the stairs walking up to Air Force One spread on social media, I quickly noticed a number of comments in my feed from people on the left scoffing at the attention it was getting and writing it off as a trivial event we should be forgetting about and moving on from. The White House quickly started making excuses for Biden’s fall, saying that it was because of strong winds.
It’s obvious from the video wind was the not issue.
Yet, the left wants to convince us this story is much ado about nothing. Chances are, for most people, and most presidents, it would be.
Here’s the thing: It is a story. For a lot of reasons.
Just ask CNN’s Chris Cillizza, who wrote a piece titled “Why the Donald Trump-West Point ramp story actually matters” regarding the viral video of President Trump carefully descending a ramp following his June 2020 commencement speech at West Point. The ramp had no railing, and after repeated viewings of the video, I still don’t understand why anyone made a big deal out of it.
According to Cillizza, Trump’s age, and alleged questions about his health made the incident a story.
You bet CNN's Chris Cillizza was all up in arms over Trump's West Point visit, telling Brianna Keilar that it was a big deal and a big concern because "Trump is 74 years old" and "we know so little about" his "past medical history"
So, where is Cillizza on the Biden falling on the stairs story? At the time of this writing, he’s not said a word.

It’s not about truth, it’s about the agenda. Never let the truth get in the way of the agenda. Chris the gorilla clown could give a rat’s ass about truth. He is nothing more than a RAT hack, parading as a “journalist.”
There will be more falls. I’m 65 and in fairly good health but I know better than to try and jog up and down stairs. And I have no desire to.
Trump was smart to walk slowly down a ramp. But Biden is too arrogant to admit he can’t run up steps anymore. He still thinks he can whip CornPop.
Can we just stop talking about Hillary Clinton’s health now? (September 6, 2016)
Note the date on this piece -- just five days before Hillary's epic "Down goes Frazier!" episode at the 9/11 memorial ceremony in New York City.
I believe the original title of this article -- which is still embedded in the URL at the Washington Post website -- was: "The Questions about Hillary Clinton's Health are Absurd." LMAO.
Now they want to dismiss this obvious decline in physical coordination as "nothing to see here...".
...and forget the name of the 5-sided building, the Pentagon.
“Watch how I run up ramps and he stumbles down ramps.”

“President Biden, who tripped Friday while boarding Air Force One, drew scrutiny from conservatives who pointed out he once mocked former President Donald Trump’s slow walk down a ramp during a trip to West Point.
Biden poked fun at Trump last September, months after the former president was filmed gingerly walking down a ramp following his commencement address at the U.S. Military Academy. Trump critics, including the Lincoln Project, later used the footage in social media posts and ads questioning his fitness.
“Look at how he steps and look how I step,” Biden said at the time. “Watch how I run up ramps and he stumbles down ramps.”

He also forgot the name of his Secretary of Defense, the department he was secretary of, and the name of just about the most famous building in the world.
Not saying that I am anything special, but the grim reaper is going to have work extra hard to collar me.
2020 Democratic frontrunner, Joe Biden, answering a debate question about his record on race. This is an actual quote...
Biden: Social workers help parents deal with how to raise their children. It’s not that they don’t want to help, they don’t know what to play the radio, make sure the television — excuse me, make sure you have the record player on at night, the — make sure that kids hear words, a kid coming from a very poor school — a very poor background will hear 4 million words fewer spoken by the time we get there.
Moderator: Thank you, Mr. Vice President

Hahaha sounds like you’re doing pretty darn good. When I’m feeling frisky I jump off the porch. It’s about 18 inches.
If I fall I’ll land on the grass and my dog will think it’s hilarious.
One of these days Tipper Joe will jog to the top of a staircase, trip and slide all the way to the bottom. That will be the end and cue the Ho.
Somebody should sync the video of Biden falling on the steps with the soundtrack of Eddie Murphy’s imitation of his Aunt Bunny falling down the stairs. (“I’m halfway down! Lawd Jesus!”)
I don’t think anybody on either side actually thinks SlowJoe is in any way meaningful.
For us he’s just a figurehead.
For them, he’s just a figurehead that somehow allowed them to say they “won” the election.
Anybody who’s not in on the “secret” is clueless.
Biden looked pretty spry to me. I don’t know why he tripped, unless his shoes were too slippery for bounding up those kind of stairs. The only reason this is a story, since he didn’t fall completely (and not one person helped him, which seems odd), is how he and Trump are treated so differently.
