Critics have accused President Joe Biden of being an “empty suit” since he took office in January 2021.
Biden being under the control of handlers is a frequent talking point of Biden’s political opponents — and the latest video from a recent Democratic event doesn’t help Biden’s case.
The footage shows the 80-year-old being physically dragged from one end of the stage to another by a political ally.
After a speech Monday in Palo Alto, California, about the state’s wetlands, Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-C.T., is shown gripping Biden’s hand tightly and pointing to a group of people at the other end of the stage.
Eshoo never lets go, and drags Biden by his hand over to where she wants him to go.
Biden seems confused at first but eventually starts smiling as he’s being pulled across the stage.
The 0:13 video was shared by the Republican National Committee’s research team.
