Iran Press/ America: President Biden was accused of being disrespectful after he quickly exited the East Room of the White House before concluding a Medal of Honor ceremony honoring a Vietnam War veteran on Tuesday.
Biden, 80, abruptly left the ceremony after fastening the nation’s highest military decoration around the neck of retired Army Capt. Larry Taylor, 81, before the closing benediction was read by Chaplain Brig. Gen. William Green Jr. Military veterans slammed Biden afterward, arguing that the commander-in-chief showed a startling lack of respect.
“The continuous lack of respect Biden has for anyone is appalling. Hawaii, Service members, active shooter victims, the list goes on,” former Navy SEAL and podcast host Shawn Ryan tweeted after Biden's hasty exit.
“At least he didn’t check his watch this time,” an Army veteran, Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Texas), snarked on X, formerly known as Twitter.
He was referencing when Biden appeared to glance at his timepiece during a solemn ceremony for the 13 US troops killed in an August 2021 terror attack near the Kabul airport in Afghanistan.
