On Tuesday, President Biden went viral after walking away from a Medal of Honor ceremony that was being given to a Vietnam veteran in the East Room of the White House, not even sticking around for the end of the ceremony.
The move left everyone at the ceremony confused and everyone else disgusted. The president left the event immediately after giving the award to Army Captain Larry Taylor, not sticking around for the closing prayers of the ceremony.
Taylor received the award after he managed to take on 45 minutes of intense ground fire. Once he began to run out of supplies to fight with, he made the split-second decision to extract the US patrol group using his two-man Cobra helicopter. He risked his own life and pulled off a feat that hadn’t managed to be done up until that point. Nonetheless, Biden couldn’t care in the slightest. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre later clarified why the president made such a quick exit, saying that he made a planned early exit to “minimize his close contact with attendees.” As previously covered by the DC Enquirer, after First Lady Jill Biden contracted COVID-19, the president began to once again wear a mask when coming in close quarters with others. Biden did notably take off his mask during the ceremony with Captain Taylor, though that still doesn’t quite remove criticism of his disgraceful exit. “Pardon my French… But what a f*cking idiot. The continuous lack of respect Biden has for anyone is appalling. Hawaii, Service members, active shooter victims, the list goes on,” Shawn Ryan, a former NAVY Seal tweeted. “Why is Joe Biden abruptly walking out of a Medal of Honor ceremony before the closing benediction?! This is not how a President behaves!” Brigette Gabriel, founder of ACT For America, wrote. “Joe Biden snubs Medal of Honor recipient's closing of ceremony. Guess the ‘Great Catholic’ couldn't stick around for the Benediction. This man is shot. He is mentally vacant. Maybe he'll ‘Feinstein’ and tell the Press he was ‘there the whole time!’” wrote writer and Marine Brian Lupo. While Biden has a long list of disgraceful actions that he has done as president, the early exit of a Medal of Honor ceremony is truly saddening. When there’s a man before him who has braved the jungles of Vietnam to rescue his fellow servicemen, being honored and he can’t even brave COVID is disgusting.
