June 1 of 2023 was another bad day for President Biden, as he had a nasty little spill at the Air Force Academy. He was there to give the commencement address to the new graduates. The White House later blamed his fall on a sand bag. Though an old video as of 2024, the video is still relevant given the continued questions about Biden’s mental and physical health.
That embarrassing, confidence-destroying moment happened when President Biden tripped and fell when turning to exit the stage after the commencement address. Stumbling, he fell forward onto his hands and right side. He then had to be helped up back onto his feet by a number of attendants on stage: two Secret Service agents and an Airman, with another Secret Service agent hovering in the background.
When the slip occurred, the previously enthusiastic, if not jovial, crowd took in a collective, silent breath and stared, stunned at the President when he fell and struggled to get back on his feet. White House communications director Ben LaBolt tried to explain Biden’s fall on Twitter, saying, “There was a sandbag on stage while he was shaking hands.”
Watch the awkward fall here:
the bike, meant to make pedaling easier. Despite that explanation, the incident led many Americans to question the president’s health and led to the humorous incident of people submitting enough request to Google Maps to temporarily get the location where Biden fell called “Brandon Falls.” That not-so-shocking but still embrassing incident occurred in December of 2022.
