Biden Snaps At Coast Guard Graduates For Lack Of Applause, Calls Them ‘Dull’
National File ^ | May 18 | Tom Pappert

Posted on 05/19/2021 10:23:25 AM PDT by RandFan

In the latest of Joe Biden’s history of blunders around the Armed Forces, the American President became verbally abusive when the Coast Guard graduating class refused to clap in response to what seems to have been a back handed insult. After complaining about the lack of applause, laughter ensued, and a few graduates gave a belated round of applause.

“I can only assume that you’ll enjoy educating your family about how the Coast Guard is, quote, the hard nucleus around the navy forms in times of war,” said Biden, laughing at the beginning. It is unclear whether Biden was insulting the popular reputation of the Coast Guard as an unimportant part of the U.S. Armed Forces, despite the fact that – with a shoestring budget – the Coast Guard completes dangerous work in the Caribbean and is responsible for apprehending more illegally smuggled cocaine than any law enforcement branch in the country.

“Wow, you’re a really dull class,” Biden then yelled. “I mean come on man, is the sun getting to you? I would think you’d have an opportunity when I say that about the Navy to clap, but we came here together.” At this point some members of the Coast Guard graduating class began laughing, then prompting a belated round of applause.

Disgusting. What’s with his repeated reference to the Navy? That alone is an insult to a Coast Guard graduating class. A normal man would have been praising the CG for all their sacrifice and heroic rescues, not to mention their drug interventions.

He gives such dull, horrible speeches and complains when nobody claps. Why do you think he had such a poor showing at his pre-election speeches. I do not think he realizes what a sad sac he is!

The Manchurian candidate. They should have all brought challenge coins to give him with a picture of dog sh*t on it.

Too bad the grads didn’t stand, turn, and walk away silently.

Hey, you don’t have to tell anyone to clap in North Korea. Coming soon to a neighborhood like yours.

"He is nasty, horrible man"

I've often wondered if his first wife deliberately drove into that truck that day, in an attempt to get herself, and her kids away from the monster she was married to. We'll never know the truth.

Against protocol and the Cadets would have been punished.

Trump needs to release a video NOW. To the US Coastguard.

“You are the point of the spear. You are to embark on one of thee most honorable of services to this nation at all points. North West, East and South you are the ones who are there for the safety and well being of this nations citizens and commerce on not only the land, but most importantly the waters. You are the ones called when there is peril upon the waters, being called for countless rescues of those in trouble upon those waters. Through your actions countless are saved even in the most extreme of conditions, conditions none of us can imagine. How you do it is beyond heroism, you get nearly no recognition by doing so. We. the American, and yes even foreign people, cant thank you enough.
God Bless you in your endeavors, and good luck.”

I personally trained each and every of todays graduating cadets over the last 4 years. I can attest this class is as far from dull as can be. In fact they are superior in their ability to adapt and overcome (think Kobiashi-Maru solution), resilient and never surrendering, always ready for the fight with a steady hand on the helm.

I am deeply cut and hurt for them, knowing them all like I do.

Biden is the worst president every. He even had problem making a coherent sentence. Not a normal person, and that is scary.

At least he didn’t say “ If it wasn’t for the Coast Guard, all Navy kids would be ugly”

Though that might have gotten him a laugh
