Biden joins ‘The View,’ sparks big controversy over what he’s wearing

September 26, 2024 | | Print Article

President Joe Biden’s “historic” visit to The View generated a few viral moments, but it was one small detail that caught some people’s attention.

Before he could even say anything, Biden’s outfit made quite a statement as X users pointed out that he was wearing a pin featuring the flags of both the United States and Ukraine, side-by-side.

This curious choice left people with questions, like why wasn’t he also wearing an Israel pin to represent the distress of our ally in the Middle East?

Others believe the president of the United States should only be wearing one pin:

This is also not the first time that Biden has donned the pin to show his support for Ukraine. In February 2024, he noted that he was wearing the flag pin “because they’re in dire straits right now, defending themselves against the Russian onslaught.”

In the same month, he was seen again wearing the pin on Late Night with Seth Meyers:

Some X users were not happy with Biden’s choice to wear the detail on The View:

But this wasn’t the only thing people were upset about. There was also a moment where co-host Whoopi Goldberg compared former President Donald Trump to a bug, at which point Biden acted like he was squishing a bug on the table. Many pointed out that the man was recently the target of not one, but two attempted assassinations, and such gestures are wholly inappropriate.
