Biden Stumbles Three Times While Climbing the Stairs to Air Force One

by Debra Heine

 

Joe Biden fell three times while climbing the stairs to Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews on Friday.

The stumbles happened just before noon when Mr. Biden, 78, was trying to jog up the steps to the aircraft for a flight to Atlanta.

After the first stumble, Biden, who has previously taunted former President Trump for lacking physical prowess, tried steady himself, but he fell a second time, and then a third time to his knees.

Biden then brushed himself off and continued up the stairs without further incident. When he reached the top, Biden saluted, and then disappeared into the aircraft.

White House communications director Kate Bedingfield said Biden was okay.

Yes, Every Kid

“I know folks have seen that President Biden slipped on his way up the stairs to AF1, but I’m happy to report that he is just fine and did not even require any attention from the medical team who travels with him,” she tweeted. “Nothing more than a misstep on the stairs.”

Here’s another angle of the falls:

White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre seemed to blame the wind for the stumbles.

Biden was heading to Atlanta, along with Kamala Harris, to meet with the Asian community in Atlanta following the mass shooting at area spas and massage parlors on Tuesday that left eight people, including six Asian women, dead, the New York Post reported.

Biden suffered a hairline fracture in his right foot in November while playing with one of his German Shepherds. He wore an orthopedic boot for several weeks after the injury.

Friday’s awkward incident comes just one day after Biden referred to Kamala Harris as “President Harris,” and his State Department faltered badly in a meeting with Communist Chinese officials in Alaska.

Earlier this week, Biden engaged in a war of words with Russian President Vladimir Putin which ended with Putin caustically wishing him “good health,” and challenging him to a televised debate.

During the 2020 election campaign, Biden taunted President Trump for walking slowly down a ramp (but not tripping or falling) at West Point.

“Look at how he steps, and look at how I step,” Biden crowed to reporters last June. “Watch how I run up ramps, and he stumbles down ramps, okay? Come on.”

The obsequious corporate media at the time tried to make Trump’s physical prowess an election issue with multiple stories about Trump’s altogether unremarkable walk down the ramp.

Trump held as many as six rallies a day in the final weeks of the campaign, while the Biden Campaign was calling lids, or holding just a few socially distanced campaign events a week.

    He is a bumbling, feeble old man. In a mater of weeks there will be an escalator instead of the stairway. He cannot even do an impromptu presser. They think they are fooling us with the green screen faked “questions from the press” on the white house lawn. Only liberals are stupid enough to fall for that. President Trump welcomed the press and answered questions from them all the time. He didn’t need per-submitted softball questions and didn’t have his wife and VP at his side in case he forgot where he was. Joe Biden has made America the laughing stock of the free world. The Chinese have absolutely no regard for him nor the liberal faction controlling Washington D.C. The term the Chinese use is baizuo….look it up. It will shock you that they have so accurately pegged the liberals for what they are.

    I find it interesting that a feeble Biden stumbling on stairs gets more attention than his intentional destruction of America.

      Don’t dismiss the possibility that this is precisely the objective. I’ve heard some speculation that the entire “incident” was deliberately staged to provide a distraction from all the other s**t that’s going on…just like all the sexual misconduct allegations against Andrew Cuomo. I’m not claiming that either of these allegations is true, but the fact that anyone even thinks they COULD be true tells you something about how bad things have become.
