Proof of Life? Biden Finally Appears, but Looks Out of It

Joe Biden finally showed his face after going into isolation last Wednesday due to an alleged case of COVID.

His absence caused a lot of speculation, particularly since, as we reported, he had trouble just getting into a car that day coming back from Las Vegas. Now there's more reporting on what may have happened in Sin City.

He allegedly called into the campaign headquarters on Monday, and we reported on that call. In his remarks, he asked his people to support Kamala Harris. We also reported that he was coming back to the White House on Tuesday afternoon and would be making a speech to the nation on Wednesday about his dropping out of the race and what he envisions for the future.

But now, Biden has made an appearance on his way back to the White House. He looked out of it and was moving slowly, particularly just as he was going into the plane.

PROOF OF LIFE? Biden shuffles out of his motorcade, mumbles incoherently at reporters, and ascends the stairs of the smaller AF1.

He doesn't actually say anything coherently, although he mumbles/mouths a word that you can't hear on the video. He's holding his mask rather than wearing it -- so much for protecting people from his alleged COVID, and what happened to those admonitions about not being around people if you have it for ten days? Hey, Joe, it's supposed to go on your face, you're not supposed to wave it around in your hand. But he doesn't seem to care about that. Seems like his actions don't really fit what they're telling us about the COVID and/or he's being a hypocrite.

Of course, he refuses to answer any questions about dropping out or whether Kamala Harris can beat former President Donald Trump. In this clip, he actually goes up the long stairs and salutes at the top. He also gives a bit of a limp thumbs-up to indicate he is okay.

We'll have to see what he has to say during his address on Wednesday evening at 8 p.m., how he explains all this and his decision. He needs to answer up about his health and why he dropped out, particularly after his brother Frank said his condition was a factor.

People had thoughts now that we apparently had "proof of life."

Awe ... look at his anemic "thumbs up".
I wonder where he learned that hand gesture? https://t.co/nlLf4vZty6 pic.twitter.com/maG8VJp2Mv
