ICYMI – Joe Biden showed his true colors once again at Monday’s White House event in honor of Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan. Instead of respecting the religious beliefs and traditions of his guests, Biden scolded one of them for interrupting him, saying, “Hush up, boy.”
The incident happened when Biden was delivering his remarks to a crowd of about 300 people in the East Room. He was praising the contributions of Muslim Americans and calling for religious tolerance, when a voice from the audience shouted something that was inaudible to most observers.
Biden stopped his speech and looked around, trying to locate the source of the interruption. He then pointed his finger at someone and said, “Hush up, boy.” The audience laughed nervously, while Biden resumed his speech as if nothing had happened.
This was not the first time that Biden used such a condescending and inappropriate term to address someone. He recently referred to Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, who is Black, as “boy” during a Black History Month event. He also joked that he might be a “White boy,” but he wasn’t “stupid” when he was boasting about his knowledge of historically Black fraternities and sororities.
Biden’s remark at the Eid al-Fitr event was not only disrespectful to the person he scolded, but also to the entire Muslim community that he was supposed to honor. It showed his lack of cultural sensitivity and awareness, as well as his arrogance and entitlement.
Biden’s behavior contrasted sharply with that of former President Donald Trump, who did not hold formal Eid al-Fitr celebrations at the White House, but instead released statements marking the holiday and expressing his respect and admiration for Muslims around the world.
Trump also took decisive actions to protect religious freedom and combat radical Islamic terrorism, while Biden has been appeasing Iran and other enemies of America and Israel.
Biden’s disrespectful remark at the White House Eid al-Fitr event was another example of his incompetence and hypocrisy. He should apologize to the person he scolded and to the Muslim community for his rude and offensive behavior.
