‘What a f**king embarrassment’: Twitter savages Biden after he wanders from podium, appears to need help getting off the stage
Following a speech announcing plans to relaunch the White House's "Cancer Moonshot" initiative on Wednesday, President Joe Biden seemed to lose his way as he left the podium, first wandering in the wrong direction, then turning back to shake hands with several officials before apparently being reminded by Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) to put on his mask. Ultimately, Biden was led away from the podium with a little help from first lady Jill Biden.
What has been the response?
As always, the folks on Twitter can be counted on to call out the president's failings. First, Biden did that creepy whisper thing again. Why doesn't anyone tell him to stop doing that?

After he finished his thrilling speech, the president wandered away from the podium, in the wrong direction, then turned back to to do a bit of maskless handshaking before being reminded by Sen. Klobuchar to put his mask on.

Finally, the first lady came to the rescue and led him off the stage, holding his hand as he shuffled and appeared to be on the verge of losing his balance. "So much strength communicated here," a video posted on Twitter was captioned.

The replies on Twitter were less-than-favorable:

WTF man. This is the leader of the free world, lovely.— The Girl That Wasn\u2019t There (@The Girl That Wasn\u2019t There) 1643835047
This is honestly what is doing the most damage to this regime. If they won't even be honest about something so utterly blatant, then how can you trust them about anything else— George Floyd's Half-Eaten Speedball (@George Floyd's Half-Eaten Speedball) 1643833162
Looks like at least one person attempted to come to the president's defense with what another Twitter user called an "unnecessary Trump reference."
