I Got Sandbagged – US President,Biden Speaks After Falling In Public

President Joe Biden laughed off his embarrassing fall at the Air Force Academy commencement ceremony as he arrived safely back at the White House on Thursday.

‘I got sandbagged,’ he joked to reporters following the tumble, after the White House insisted that he was OK.

But as he got off the plane Thursday evening, the 80-year-old commander-in-chief was again seen bumping his head on the doorframe.

Those stumbles may mar the president’s hopes for re-election, as many are already concerned about the president’s age and health.

If he wins in 2024, Biden would bee 86 years old at the end of his second term.

Blaze Newz gathered that Biden was caught on video stumbling, and hitting the floor before cadets and Secret Service members rushed to grab his arms while he was handing out diplomas in Colorado.

He then walked away without help and appeared to point to a sandbag on the stage.

The White House has since insisted the president wasn’t hurt and also blamed the black sandbag, which could be seen near the podium where he was speaking.

‘He’s fine,’ White House Communications Director Ben LaBolt tweeted shortly after the incident. ‘There was a sandbag on stage while he was shaking hands.’

But the stumble marks the fourth time Biden fell in public since taking office in January 2021.
