US President Joe Biden has given up riddles with the last sentence of a long speech. The 80-year-old addressed the audience in a conversational tone towards the end of the lecture on Friday in West Hartford, Connecticut, and regretted not being able to stay longer. Then he added: «Are you okay? God save the queen man », looked at the crowd and left the stage. “God save the Queen” has for the past few decades been associated with Elizabeth II, the British Queen who died in September.
According to US media reports, the White House presented the incident in such a way that Biden made a comment about a specific person in the audience. In fact, before the final movement, he seemed to focus on part of the auditorium. He was ridiculed in conservative media and social networks: Some used the video as evidence that Biden was too old to govern. At 80, he is the oldest president in US history.
