Jill Biden Slammed For Appearance At First WH Cabinet Meeting In Nearly A Year

First lady Jill Biden was slammed on social media Friday afternoon after she participated in the first cabinet meeting that the Biden-Harris administration has held in nearly a full year.

President Joe Biden introduced Jill to the meeting where she was speaking about a White House initiative.

“Here and across previous administrations, first ladies have attended these meetings for specific reasons,” he said. “This is the first time Jill has joined us, and it goes to show how important the issue is, which she is about to speak to.”

“It’s all yours, kid,” he said in passing the torch off to his wife.

Former Fox News host Andrea Tantaros posted on X: “I’m unsure which part is more disturbing. 1. That the White House held its first Cabinet meeting in a year; or… 2. Jill Biden is leading the first White House Cabinet meeting in a year.”

“She cannot lead a presidential Cabinet meeting,” she added. “She doesn’t hold a Security Clearance.”

Former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy posted on X: “The same number of people have voted for Jill Biden to be President as have voted for Kamala: zero. Their new rule appears to be: the fewer votes you’ve earned, the more power you get to exercise.”

“Oh neat, an unelected person married to the mostly incapacitated elected president is overseeing the first Cabinet meeting in forever,” said commentator Mary Katharine Ham. “Does anyone have any questions about this?”

Media analyst Joe Concha slammed MSNBC’s characterization of the event. “Of course, this is how MSNBC characterizes the First Lady running a cabinet meeting,” he said. “If this was Melania Trump, these same ‘reporters’ would melt into an unrecognizable pile of goo…”

“She’s officially Edith Wilson,” added columnist Marc Thiessen. “She is not elected, has no official position, is not even a government employee. WTH is she doing running a cabinet meeting?”

“Who is running the country?” asked Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL).
