Joe Biden Falls Apart on Camera During Meeting With Israel's President
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
President Joe Biden welcomed President Isaac Herzog of Israel to the White House on Tuesday, but attention quickly shifted from the importance of the allies' meeting to whether Biden would make it through the photo opportunity with members of the press intact.
As cameras rolled, Biden told the president of Israel that he doesn't remember "two-thirds" of the past 75 years since Israel was established. Most of those, of course, Biden served in the United States Senate.

Biden then proceeded to make remarks to his counterpart — a critical ally of the United States in the Middle East — while apparently reading verbatim from notes prepared for him in his lap, rarely making eye contact with President Herzog to whom he was speaking.

When Biden wrapped up the public portion of his meeting with President Herzog, reporters in the Oval Office began hollering their questions. As is common, Biden ignored them but looked around the room with a half puzzled-half smirk.

As Democrats on Capitol Hill such as Reps. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) continue to smear Israel with false accusations — Jayapal, at least, has drawn the condemnation of fellow House Democrats for her comments she's since tried to walk back — it's all the more important for President Biden to lead by example in reinforcing the United States' relationship with Israel's government and people.

This tweet contains video of Biden mumbling who knows what as he fails to read the cue cards on his lap.
Totally normal behavior for the leader of the free world. Everything's fine!
Can't help but feel sorry for Herzog. Just unbelievable he's put in this situation.
It's too bad no one in Biden's family seems to care for him enough to convince him to give this up and enjoy retirement. They are just going to keep riding the gravy train until the four hour "work" days kill him.
Judging by the tweets seen in this seed the far right propaganda site Town Hall was all over this thing
I wonder what normal people in the media have to say
I doubt that they will say much as it’s counter to the narrative of AMTRAK Joe.
Probably that this isn't really news.
Now, had Joe Biden showed himself to be composed, intelligent, alert, knowledgeable, and competent, THAT would have been real news.
Like stink on shit?
c’mon John, you can do better than that. Tell us how thats perfectly normal behavior and Biden is at the top of his game.
Herzog, President of Israel, holds a ceremonial position. Biden knows this, hence his requesting Netanyahu to visit The White House this Fall.
Right wing attacking Biden of course. Meanwhile, the right wing has a 'sleeper date' with an orange peel.
Did you watch the video? You think that’s acceptable from the head of state?
at least Wilson’s wife had the good sense to hide him from view,
Wow, what an inventive excuse for Biden being Biden.
Beats sucking up to an orange peel.
Having done neither personally, I'll have to take your word on that.
Like in a Wry or Bourbon Old Fashioned? I also love an orange twist in a Negroni in the summertime.
Do we realy want 4 more years of that?
