President Joe Biden, during his State of the Union address Tuesday night, sparked some criticism online — both for the content of the speech and his shoddy delivery.
Biden fumbled his words early on in the address, and often raised his voice, as POTUS typically does when speaking to the public. The president was also called out for apparent “lies” during the speech.
“I know the lies are coming so fast and so furiously and so incoherently that it’s hard to keep track, but did he just claim his wife is a full-time teacher?” author and commentator Mollie Hemingway tweeted.

“Is anyone else having trouble understanding exactly what he’s trying to say?” she tweeted. “It’s a weird combo of mumbling and speed-reading. I can’t quite make it out. Also now he’s yelling.”

The politico added, “I don’t have any strong feelings about this speech because thus far I have been unable to understand much of it. This whole spectacle is really sad and it makes me feel very uncomfortable.”

Daily Wire emeritus Ben Shapiro called out a line from the president on taxes. “Joe Biden jabbering about how the rich don’t pay their fair share is just an absolute lie,” he wrote. “But he’s a liar, so what else is new.”

“I have no idea what this means on China. It’s totally nonsensical and random yelling by an old man,” radio host Clay Travis said, captioning video of Biden fumbling over his words.

“Biden keeps [saying] ‘let’s finish the job’ as one of the major themes of his speech. I think he’s referring to the continuing controlled demolition of America,” criticized journalist Jordan Schachtel.
