Biden Shows up Over an Hour Late to Give Lackluster Speech on Hamas Attacks

Joe Biden was set to deliver an important speech at 1:00 this afternoon about the current situation in Israel following the Hamas attacks that left thousands dead.

For some reason, Biden was over one hour late for said speech, which took place at the White House…

When he finally did show up, he mumbled about America’s commitment to Israel for 10 minutes before shuffling away.

Biden did not mention anything about Iran’s involvement with Hamas.

He did not mention potential solutions.

At the end of the speech, he took ZERO questions.

Most people were not impressed at all with Biden’s performance.

Fox News has more on the reaction:

Conservatives took to X, formerly Twitter, after Biden’s speech and slammed him for not mentioning Iran.

“Biden spoke for 10 minutes and 12 seconds, then turned his back and shuffled away,” a social media account associated with the Republican National Committee posted on X. “He did not even mention Iran.”

After the president’s speech, Fox News contributor Joe Concha posted on X, “14 Americans are dead. An unknown number have been taken hostage. President Biden just spoke for 11 minutes before quickly walking away without taking any questions. No mention of Iran whatsoever. Utterly irresponsible and weak on both fronts.”

“After a weekend of BBQs & ½ days, Joe Biden has ZERO answers,” Republican Sen. Roger Marshall posted on X. “Shows up over an hour late to his Address to the nation, Confirms 14 Americans are dead & more Americans are being held hostage, Gives ZERO strategy to save them, Makes no mention of Iran, Takes NO questions.”

“Biden gives a speech on attack on Israel and does not even mention Iran!” Marc Thiessen, former speechwriter for President George W. Bush and a Fox News contributor, posted on X.

Many people questioned why Biden showed up so late for such an important speech in the first place:

We have been waiting 54 minutes for President Biden’s speech. Is he taking a nap?

Biden is over an hour late for his speech….

Are they loading him up with drugs? Did he fall asleep? Did he forget where he is? Did he crap his pants again?

What’s going on?

Once he did arrive, things didn’t get much better.

Following the uninspiring speech, he didn’t take a single question, and instead quickly exited with Kamala Harris and Anthony Blinken beside him:

Biden took off the past *TWO DAYS* to prepare for this speech, yet HE STILL CAN’T ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS?!

Even with 14+ Americans killed by terrorists and COUNTLESS more being held hostage?!

Our country has become a TOTAL joke. pic.twitter.com/rY87kFlJrS

This man is a terrible leader.

Joe Biden's speech today was pathetically anemic and said nothing, absolutely nothing about Iran's involvement in the Hamas massacre! pic.twitter.com/t8i1OpFhNJ

Biden failed to mention Iran after numerous reports have emerged that they were directly responsible for the terror attacks that have killed over 1,000 people and at least 14 Americans.

He also refused to answer questions.

Americans are dead and missing and he has no answers. pic.twitter.com/Bu1GAHG7HV

These cowards took no questions after Biden mumbled his way through his speech. These are the last people we need ‘leading’ our Country. pic.twitter.com/7yYM6QVrT0

I really wish we didn't have a "President" who didn't slur through a speech after a terror attack.

I really, really wish we had a President who had the wisdom to not give the world's leading sponsor of terror 6 Billion dollars.

Joe Biden is a disgrace.#HamasWarCrimes
