Biden Tried to Sit in ‘Invisible Chair’ at 80th D-Day Anniversary in Normandy

Biden tried to sit down when there wasn’t a chair

U.S. President Joe Biden tried to sit in an “invisible chair” at the 80th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy, France.

A 12-second video clip posted on X about U.S. President Joe Biden’s attendance at the commemoration.

On June 6, 2024, U.S. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden marked the 80th anniversary of D-Day by attending a ceremony in Normandy, France. French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, attended, as well as other dignitaries.

Viewers quickly noticed an odd moment after French President Macron shook Biden’s hand… U.S. President Joe Biden appears to squat awkwardly for a prolonged period of time during a ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy, France.

Numerous users on X virally claim a confused Biden attempted during the ceremony to sit in an “invisible chair.” Some of the posts spreading this rumor shared as purported proof a 12-second video originally posted by X user RNC Research (@RNCResearch) — the GOP’s official rapid response account. That post only included a one-word text caption with a grimacing emoji reading, “Awkward.” Donald Trump Jr. also shared the clip, although without the chair rumor. (Other users posted the same clip claiming Biden “pooped” his pants.)
