Things Get Really Awkward Between Joe and Jill During White House Easter Egg Roll – Opinion

We’ve written previously about how it often appears that First Lady Jill Biden has to lead, direct and/or correct President Joe Biden during White House gatherings where both of them feature prominently in the proceedings.

It’s happened so many times that sometimes it feels redundant to write about it. It happens in some instances that are so troubling that they need to be recorded. An incident that happened on Monday during the White House’s Easter egg roll was one such moment.

As you’ll see in the below video, at one point something happens out of the frame of the video that makes Mrs. Biden applaud. Joe Biden, however, appears confused, and it seems from the clip that he’s not sure what he needs to do next. Is he speaking? Do you want to get up? Do you want to get up?

That’s when Jill Biden puts her hand on his arm and gently informs him that he needs to “just stay.” There is then more awkwardness when Joe Biden tells the crowd that she told him he needs to stay where he is, noting that “she’s the teacher.” She then laughs and echoes his point as though it’s totally normal for her to tell him whether he needs to move, get up, stay or speak.

The only way anyone who tells you this is “totally normal” can be telling the truth is if they are talking about this in the context of how this is “totally normal” behavior for This particularBecause First Ladies don’t have to tell their husbands what they should do at every event, First Lady and President can be together.

But we are not in “normal circumstances” here. Well before Joe Biden became the Democratic nominee for President, questions were being raised – even by other Democrats and their media allies – about his mental acuity. These questions only grew since Biden took office.

It’s gotten so bad for Biden that even some polls show a majority of voters have questions about his mental fitness to lead the country. When asked about it at the time, Jill Biden scoffed, calling it “ridiculous.”

The Washington Post’s Biden apologists are also imagining 2024 Presidential Candidate scenarios based on rumors that Biden (who will turn 80 in November) will either resign at the end his term, or that Democrat voters may reject him a second round.

Another recent awkward moment between the two occurred in March during an “Equal Pay” day event when Mrs. Biden had to correct the President when he was making the announcement about how Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff had contracted COVID-19 and how neither of them would be appearing at the ceremony.

While at the podium giving his remarks, Biden noted that Harris and Emhoff wouldn’t be there and the reason why. But in his remarks, Biden said “the First Lady’s husband” tested positive – which would mean Biden. He didn’t realize his flub until Jill Biden, who was sitting nearby, corrected him, according to CBS News, which was one of the few news outlets that reported Biden’s gaffe.

And even when Biden tried to set the record straight after the Mrs. let him know, he still got it wrong, referring to Emhoff as the “First Gentleman,” apparently not realizing that Emhoff would only be “First Gentleman” if it was Harris and not Biden who was President.

Another thing to note is the fact that Jill Biden often orchestrates Joe’s affairs, raising uncomfortable questions about who really is in control. Like Hillary Clinton did with Bill Clinton, Jill Biden has gone on record in the past in stating in so many words that she doesn’t want to be viewed as just a politician’s wife, and some have suggested that being Joe Biden’s top handler is her way of expanding her role well beyond the traditional role of First Lady.

She even has her own music for the entrance. It’s not “hail to the chief” or anything like that but it does make you wonder.

It is Jill Biden, or Kamala Harir who has the final say? This is an extremely frightening possibility. But one thing we do know for sure is that Joe Biden – who at least on paper is the leader of the free world – is It is notYou are in control. You don’t have to.
