In what proved to be a really awkward moment, President Joe Biden wandered off the set of a live MSNBC interview while the host was bringing the segment to a close.
The 80-year-old president sat down with reliable Democratic shill Nicolle Wallace, who served up a Biden 2024-approved interview that did not raise a single question about his son Hunter Biden’s highly suspect foreign business dealings or the alleged Biden family bribery scandal, of which President Biden is at the center. The fawning MSNBC host also avoided any questions about Biden’s health or recent polling showing that more than two-thirds of Americans, including half of Democrats, think he is too old to serve as president.
As the interview concluded, Wallace was thanking Biden when he rose from his seat to shake her hand, and just like that he was gone. With the cameras still rolling, the feeble executive wandered off the set with his now-familiar shuffle that mimics a walking robot.

Wallace went with it, hilariously telling the audience, “Don’t go anywhere…”
Proving her worth as a Biden campaign ally, the MSNBC host asked Biden at one point why Donald Trump hasn’t been charged for Jan. 6 — she presented the question by asking if foreign leaders have inquired.
“Well, the answer is yes,” Biden claimed. “Well here’s my answer. I have faith that the Justice Department will move in a direction that is consistent with the law. And so it may take time, but I have faith that they’re going to do — but I have not spoken about that, and I don’t think I should.”
Wallace responded by praising Biden for his “reverence for the institutions” his party has weaponized, while shamelessly claiming Republicans were “openly running on politicizing the rule of law.”
When Biden’s on-air walk-off drew media attention, White House spokesman Andrew Bates tried to spin events by hilariously tweeting that it was a “power move.”
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story from Twitter:
“They’re serving tapioca at the minibar tonight but we gotta get there before sundown otherwise I won’t remember where they hid the spoons.”
