In a rather awkward spectacle during a critical meeting with the President of Israel on Tuesday, Joe Biden seemed to lose focus, appearing extra sleepy and mumbling incoherently during his statements.
The incident happened during a live public address, where the two leaders were discussing significant bilateral relations and the recent peace negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians.
Biden was attempting to underscore the importance of the recent peace process that brought Israelis and Palestinians together at a political level. “And we brought Israelis and Palestinians together at a political level…and I uh… And as I affirmed to Prime Minister…,” Biden mumbled before losing his train of thought.
The scene looked like something between a prayer session and a nap for Sleepy Joe.
WATCH:
The discussion of Biden’s health and fitness for office isn’t a new topic. However, bizarre instances like these, especially during crucial meetings in the Oval Office, add more fuel to these ongoing conversations.
REACTIONS:
He'll lose track of where he's reading. He always has cards to tell him exactly what to say, where to stand and sit. Pathetic
