President Joe Biden accidentally fell over on stage Thursday as he attended the U.S. Air Force Academy graduation.
Video footage shows Biden, wearing a suit and ball cap, walking happily across the stage when suddenly he trips to the ground.
Several secret service members immediately run over to help assist the president.
VIDEO AT LINK.............
Biden was walking off the stage when he appeared to have tripped on a sandbag. Biden was later seen motioning to the sandbags after he was helped to his feet. Biden walked away unassisted. Twitter users were quick to react to the fall, with Outkick’s Clay Travis calling it “elder abuse.”
One Twitter user, Jason Howerton, said “I wish we could just let this man retire and spend time with his grandkids.”
ACT for America founder and chairman Brigitte Gabriel tweeted “it’s time to invoke the 25th Amendment.”
Prior to his fall, Biden thanked the graduated for choosing “service over self,” according to the Associated Press (AP).
“Graduates, you made a noble choice to lead a life of service,” Biden said at the graduation, which was held in Colorado. “Now you also shoulder a great privilege and a mighty responsibility.”
Nyuk Nyuk.
To be fair, I think the people who were cheering hadn't realized what had happened yet. That being said, this is happening too frequently for the media to continue to ignore - falling up the stairs of Air Force One, falling off of his bike, stumbling down the steps in Japan a few weeks ago, now this.
Oops, time for the 25th. His time is limited.
Yep, one of those disappearing objects people use as gags.
“FDR ( who I hated as the commie lover he was) would get his son or a SS agent to walk him to the podium.
That’s why you see FDR leaning on General George Marshall ( who was a pretty big guy)as he walks to a podium in lots of pictures.
That’s the fall of a 55 yo actor, well-done! Probably only one ‘take’ required. IMHO, they could have added a bit of relief humor, with a pants split.
Nice touch to point back to place the blame.
57 posts and not one reference to George Foreman and Joe Frazier....................
FDR had a better gait than Biden.
Plenty on the other thread.
“Turn out the lights, the parties over.”
What a video it would make — Falls and Fails of the DemocRAT party. Starring Pedo Joe, Hitlery, Fetterwoman, Feinswine, etc.
Dick Van Dyke was a phenomenal dancer.
And a great artist as making a pratfall! I saw an article about him doing such stunts in TV Guide about fifty two years ago.
Conveniently none of the video shows the so called sand bags.
Constantly kissing the dirt is a good look for the potus?
If that was Yrump he would be impeached for a perfectly good fall.
Hmm...they had sandbags at the J6 insurrection, too. Coincidence? I think NOT!
Yeah, they always put sandbags around podiums to hold down unruly microphone cables.
