Biden Faces Criticism for Veterans Day Appearance at Arlington National Cemetery

President's confusion during wreath-laying ceremony sparks online mockery, despite his heartfelt speech honoring veterans

  • President Joe Biden faced criticism and mockery online for appearing confused during a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery on Veterans Day.
  • Despite the criticism, Biden delivered a heartfelt speech at the Memorial Amphitheater, honoring the generations of Americans who stood on the front lines of freedom and paid tribute to those who have kept the light of liberty shining across the world.
  • Biden's speech was deeply personal as he mentioned his late son, Beau Biden, who served in the Delaware Army National Guard and died of brain cancer in 2015.
  • The President also announced that veterans exposed to toxins will be eligible for health care benefits via Veterans Affairs starting in March.
  • While some social media users questioned Biden's cognitive abilities, others defended him, arguing that respect and kindness should be shown towards the elderly and that despite his mistakes, he is a better option than his political rival, Donald Trump.
