Biden's Ukraine Response After-Party Produces Some Horrific Optics

Nearly 24 hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine under the guise of recognizing the autonomy of parts of the Donbas region, US President Joe Biden finally mustered a response. Showing up almost two hours late for what was supposed to be an incredibly urgent address (they even moved the start time up, only for him to miss his mark by a mile), the president stumbled and slurred his way through his remarks, outlining a series of incredibly weak sanctions and previewing more pain in the wallet for the average American.
Biden wasn’t done for the day, though. He immediately entered a meeting about “green” energy initiatives, attended by California Gov. Gavin Newsom, among others. As an aside, what genius in the administration thought it was a good idea to go ahead with such an event during a time like this? Regardless, some of the worst optics I’ve ever seen for a president unfolded.
With an international crisis still playing out in real-time, Biden decided now was a good time to laugh about Russia’s invasion, hawk green energy voodoo, and mock reporters who were asking him questions. The lack of self-control was astonishing.
