In an instance of blatant, petty mockery, the co-hosts of Fox & Friends spent a minute and a half sounding the alarm on President Joe Biden’s age after he tripped up the stairs of Air Force One on Wednesday.
Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich’s intrepid reporting revealed that Biden was wearing “dress shoes” instead of sneakers, which may have been the cause of the minor stumble up the airplane stairs. Fox News had the damning video, which they looped twice while discussing Biden’s feebleness:
Recently, the president and the White House have been trying to sort of play off the president’s age as an asset and play up his experience. But when he was boarding Air Force One to head to California at Joint Base Andrews, he had a little bit of a stumble on the stairs, heading up the stairs onto Air Force One, and he was wearing these dress shoes that we haven’t seen him in as much recently. They’ve been putting him in sneakers because we had noticed that every time he’s wearing the dress shoes seems to be when he is having issues on the stairs. But he wore those shoes and had a little bit of a stumble going up the stairs. So we will be watching to see if he switches out, switches back, to the brand new black Hokas that he was spotted wearing
in Delaware this past weekend.
In the studio, Fox & Friends co-hosts Ainsley Earhardt, Lawrence Jones, and Steve Doocy lamented the decrepit nature of the nearly dead president and how these stairs and his shoes came so close to causing him to fall and immediately disintegrate into a pile of dust:
Earhardt: You would think his team would put, you know, some sort of a grip on those stairs and put him in different shoes.Jones: Well, Jacqui, and those were the shorter stairs because I think he used to do the full flight and the White House changed that to the shorter version, right?Doocy: CAN’T SOMEBODY JUST CARRY HIM UP THE STAIRS?
Heinrich also reported that Biden usually wears Cole Haan sneakers, which “a lot of people wear those, including on the Hill.” And concerning the actual trip up the stairs that merited more than a minute of news coverage, she added: “I wouldn’t say it’s the worst of what we’ve seen, but there’s a heightened awareness whenever anything like this happens.”
