Ouch! Biden Owned By Heckler At His Own Celebration

Biden was doing a fine job humiliating himself during his big gun control celebration but a heckler from the crowd took that humiliation up a notch. Biden was delivering a speech on the South Lawn on Monday when he was interrupted by Manuel Oliver, whose 17-year-old son, Joaquin, was among 14 students and three staff members killed at a high school in Parkland, Florida, in 2018.

“We have to do more than that!” Oliver shouted, among other remarks, while standing up and wearing dark sunglasses, grey beard and purple jacket.

At first Biden told him, “Sit down, you’ll hear what I have to say,” but then the president relented and said, “Let him talk, let him talk, OK? By then, however, security had already stepped in to take Oliver away.

Earlier on Monday, Oliver had made clear that he objected to the event being billed as a celebration in the aftermath of a mass shooting that killed 19 children and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, on 24 May.

He wrote on Twitter: “The word CELEBRATION has no space in a society that saw 19 kids massacred just a month ago.”

And of course, no speech would be complete without a massive screw-up from Biden. While discussing school shootings Biden made it clear he has no idea what century this is:

He then went on to claim that simply mentioning the names of the GOP reps who supported his gun control bill would ‘get them in trouble. Biden seems to think that everyone in Washington has handlers to answer to, like him:

Biden has already announced his intentions to continue to go after the 2nd amendment. Even after his bill passed, Biden was out there stretching that it was ‘not enough’. It was clear from his speech last week that he wasn’t happy that the focus on the bill shifted from guns to mental health.
