Video of Joe Biden Appearing to Struggle to Get Into Car Goes Viral
https://www.newsweek.com ^ | 7/18/2024 | James Bickerton

Footage of President Joe Biden seeming to have difficulty getting into his vehicle after leaving Air Force One on Wednesday and appearing to need help has gone viral on social media.

The incident took place after Biden said he would be "isolating as I recover" after confirming he had tested positive for coronavirus on Wednesday afternoon. He earlier canceled a planned appearance at the UnidosUS Annual Conference in Las Vegas.

Concern over the age, frailty and mental agility of 81-year-old Biden surged following his first presidential debate with Donald Trump on June 27, during which he appeared at times to repeatedly lose his train of thought mid-sentence. In response, a number of prominent Democrats, including members of Congress, urged Biden to step aside so his party could select another nominee. This chorus was joined by California Representative Adam Schiff on Wednesday, who said he should "pass the torch" to another Democrat.

After announcing he had coronavirus, Biden flew to Delaware, where he slowly came down the stairs. Once he arrived at his vehicle, the president appeared to struggle to get in and received assistance, with footage of the incident broadcast live by ABC News.

Referring to Biden, one of the anchors said: "It appears he might be getting a little help just getting into the car there, hard to make out through the rain what exactly is going on there, but it does look like certainly the president's feeling the effects of early in the stages of Covid."

I’ve seen this video played on Fox News and he looks like he can’t even lift his legs to get into the vehicle. Pretty shocking.

A few weeks ago, Newsweek would have never shown this video.

Many thanks. Love it.

Sound of engines drowned out the split pants sound.
As well as passing gas.

First he gets finally gets his coat on, then drops and picks up the sunglasses.
Then, despite Jill saying “Joe, you have had such a busy day.” he insists on going to the debate, followed by Jill telling him: “Joe, you did great. You answered every single question. Every one.”
Was Joe beaming after that? You bet.

Biden’s people obviously need training on how to toss a slab of dead meat into the SUV. He should have his people call Hillary’s people for advice.

“I’m thinking the Covid diagnosis is just a cover for an unexpected severe increase in senility and function failure.”

That’s what I’m thinking, too.

Newsweek is a leftist media outlet. They would have never released this video nor comments unless they know Biden is a politically dead candidate and a threat to their political ideology. Newsweek bears no animosity to Joe but he is no longer useful and now a burden to their political agenda.

NEWSWEEK THREW HIM UNDER THE POLITICAL BUS. It was without malice but simply political expediency.

What about the “cleaning up step” before trying to get off the toilet? Who is the “Groom of the Stool” who has that responsibility?

Bingo possibly mini stroke.

Or are they lowering his med levels. They’ve been pushing his meetings to try to prove he’s fine. Gee what could go wrong.

Pray for Donald J Trump. And his family.

He might be experiencing a boomerang effect from all the drugs they jacked him up on to get through the TV interviews he’s done over the past week

my theory is that Joe doesn’t have Covid.

He went from:
"I won't get out unless the Lord tells me to"
to:
"I won't get out unless I get hit by a train"
to:
"I won't get out unless I get a medical condition"
to:
"I have a medical condition"

... in the space of a week.

My God is the MSM out to get him. This is the type of anti-candidate story that Newsweak always reserves for Republicans.

Mrs Biden’s next dream for her sugar daddy is a regal state funeral complete with lying in state in the Crapital rotunda and a horse drawn cortege to Arlington.
