In a surprising turn of events, a video featuring President Biden donning a Trump 2024 hat has taken the internet by storm.
The incident occurred during Biden's visit to the Shanksville Fire Station on Wednesday, following his participation in a wreath-laying ceremony at the town's memorial site for United Airlines Flight 93, a tragic reminder of the September 11, 2001, Al-Qaeda terrorist attacks.
According to Fox News, the video showcases President Biden accepting a Trump 2024 campaign hat from a supporter of the former president and placing it atop his own hat. The White House has clarified that this act was a friendly gesture symbolizing unity. The sight of Biden wearing a Trump 2024 hat has sparked a flurry of reactions, with many feeling compelled to confirm the authenticity of the video.
Radio host Christopher Calvin Reid was among those who confirmed the video's legitimacy, stating, "This isn't AI it's been confirmed by multiple outlets that it's not AI and there are tons of live video feeds that have confirmed it." Conservative writer Carmine Sabia echoed Reid's sentiments, asserting, "No this is not AI. This is President Joe Biden donning a Trump 2024 hat."
The incident has also sparked a wave of humor and speculation. Florida Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Jimmy Patronis quipped, "At this point even Joe Biden is voting for President Trump," while RedState writer Bonchie remarked, "Biden wearing a Trump hat because its 2024 and why not?" The Spectator reporter Matthew Foldi juxtaposed the incident with pop star Taylor Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris, while broadcaster Piers Morgan humorously commented, "Joe Biden just put on a Trump 2024 campaign cap. This is not a joke he really did," accompanied by a monkey covering its eyes emoji.
The incident even prompted a jest from Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt's press secretary Will OGrady, who joked, "Joe Biden is gonna get prosecuted by his own DOJ now." However, White House senior deputy press secretary Andrew Bates confirmed the clip's authenticity, explaining that Biden's act was a symbol of unity. Bates wrote, "At the Shanksville Fire Station, @POTUS spoke about the country's bipartisan unity after 9/11 and said we needed to get back to that. As a gesture, he gave a hat to a Trump supporter who then said that in the same spirit, POTUS should put on his Trump cap. He briefly wore it."
The event occurred amidst multiple ceremonies attended by Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and former President Trump to honor the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The trio, along with Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance, appeared together during a ceremony at Ground Zero.
