A clip of President Joe Biden speaking at a CNN townhall event went viral after he happened to fumble over the question of children getting vaccinated in the United States. 

“Let me ask, let me follow up on her question and ask you when will children under 12 be able to get vaccinated?” host Don Lemon asked, to which Biden began saying, “Soon, I believe. Now look, one of the things that I committed to do when I got elected, I said,” Biden was cut off by Lemon, who pressed on to urge Biden to come up with a definitive answer. “How soon is soon, Mr. President?” Lemon asked again. 

What followed was a rambling and incoherent reply by Biden. “Well, let me finish the question. The answer, soon in the sense that I do not tell any scientists what they should do, I do not interfere,” Biden responded. “And so, they are doing, they’re doing the examinations now, the testing now and making the decision now. When they are ready, when they’ve done all the scientific need be done to determine children at ages 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, they, in fact, are, all have different makeups, they’re developing, they’re trying to figure out whether or not there’s a vaccination that would affect one child with, that’s at such and such an age and not another child.”

He added: “That’s underway, just like the other question is illogical, and I’ve heard you speak about it, because you always, I’m not being solicitous, but you’re always straight up about what you’re doing. And the question is whether or not we should be in a position where you why can’t the experts say we know that this virus is, in fact, it’s going to be, or excuse me, we know why all the drugs approved are not temporarily approved, but permanently approved, that’s underway, too, I expect that to occur quickly.”

'This guy wouldn’t be capable of a tweet'

The clip garnered a number of raised eyebrows on Twitter, as people started to troll Biden for his response. “I don’t know about you but I’m thrilled this is the guy in charge of the free world. We should all sleep sound at night. Hey, at least there’s no mean tweets… mostly because this guy wouldn’t be capable of a tweet or even a complete thought," Donald Trump Jr. said. Political strategist Caleb Hull tweeted: “This guy is our president and can’t even complete a sentence.”

Other political pundits also chimed in. Glenn Greenwald wrote, "Is there really anyone willing to step forward with a straight face and say there’s nothing wrong here?” Dave Rubin addeed: “That one was really sustained and uncomfortable to watch.” Sohrab Ahmari commented, "What, uh, what did I just listen to?” Rebeccah Heinrichs quipped, "I can’t watch.” Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) asked, "Is this for real? And the media will continue to fawn and look the other way.”

Joe Biden mocked over half-empty CNN town hall: 'A student body council pulls more people'

There were plenty of empty seats as Biden appeared at a half-empty CNN town hall on Wednesday night

 

 

President Joe Biden was heavily mocked on social media after he spoke to a half-empty auditorium Wednesday during a live CNN town hall event in Ohio. Thanks to the flattering shots taken by news outlets covering the event, television viewers were not shown the many empty rows in an effort to show a full, non-distanced crowd packing the front. The broadcast came as a prominent display of normalcy after more than a year of lockdowns and quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, several members of the traveling White House press corps took to social media to share photos from the back of the room, shockingly revealing that the venue was far from packed at Mount St Joseph University in Cincinnati, where the town hall took place.

 

 

The New York Post published a picture of the half-empty auditorium, but almost all of the mainstream media posted only pictures of the audience in the front part of the auditorium to make it look like Biden was appearing in a packed town hall

 

 

One of the first to share photos online was Bloomberg News reporter Jennifer Epstein, who traveled with the president as a representative of wire services. She tweeted an image of “[w]hat the Biden CNN town hall looks like from the back of the auditorium.

 

Meanwhile, Voice of America reporter Steve Herman, who was the radio pool reporter for the trip, shared a similar image noting how the “[b]ack of the auditorium is empty.” Herman also shared footage showing other angles where spectators were largely missing from seats. 

 

As reported by the New York Post, the sight of rows of empty seats did not align with "Biden’s attempt to project confidence in overcoming the coronavirus pandemic," despite his assertion, "this is not a pandemic."

When asked whether the room was half full due to coronavirus concerns or a lack of public interest, a White House official directed the question to CNN. “This was a typical audience size for a CNN town hall," CNN spokeswoman Lauren Pratapas told The Post, although she did not elaborate on the reason for the humbling crowd size.

It's worth noting that former President Donald Trump has consistently mocked Biden for drawing small audiences, even before the pandemic broke out. The 45th POTUS is known for drawing tens of thousands of fired-up fans to his own rallies. “Biden comes to Florida, you have like 12, 13 people. You know, they do the circles. And he has a hard time filling up the circles. Here we probably have 30,000 people or so,” Trump told his supporters in Jacksonville, Florida during a September rally.

Similarly, Biden critics flooded social media with memes and jokes poking fun at the CNN town hall attendance, with some mocking the results of the 2020 election. "CNN invited their entire audience to attend tonight's #BidenTownHall -- and they still couldn't fill the auditorium," columnist Todd Starnes wrote. "Well, dead people can vote, but it's difficult to get them to attend a town hall," one Twitter user quipped. "Yes, the President who got more votes than any other candidate in history makes perfect sense," another added.

"Reminds me of attendance at his campaign speeches, except they’re not sitting in circles," a third chimed in. "Because nobody wants to listen to President Tapioca Brain stumble and stutter through answers he doesn’t have note cards for? Shocking. Actually, he probably does have note cards or a teleprompter set up by his handlers," a fourth wrote.

"A Student body council at some random high school pulls more people," another commented.
