A video of President Joe Biden standing still during a Juneteenth event is garnering a lot of scrutiny on social media.
The footage, shared by the GOP governing body, the Republican National Committee (RNC), shows Biden standing still at the event while others around him, including Vice President Kamala Harris, dance to music playing.
The Context
The video was taken at an early Juneteenth holiday concert at the White House on Monday, which was attended by 1,700 people including singers Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle and rapper Doug E. Fresh.
In 2021, Biden signed a law that made June 19 a federal holiday to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. The last slaves were freed in Texas on June 19, 1865.
"Black history is American history," Biden said in a speech at the event. "The day reminds us that we have a helluva lot more work to do," he continued. "Let's keep marching. Let's keep the faith."
Meanwhile, Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee for the presidential election, has long come under scrutiny for his physicality and behavior in public. The oldest person ever to be president, he faces accusations that he lacks the mental fitness for the position. Detractors have pointed to his verbal gaffes and frailty, such as falling on camera multiple times, as evidence for his incapability.
Writing on X, formerly Twitter, critics responded to the video of Biden at the Juneteenth event and slammed his apparent lack of engagement with the event.
Conservative internet personality Mike Sperrazza wrote: "We have our first total malfunction to his brain."
The account Libs of TikTok, said Biden was "looking lost, staring into space like a zombie."
"He has no clue why he is there."
