As we told you earlier, there was a rather odd scene at the White House yesterday after President Biden presented a Medal of Honor yesterday and then just walked out before the ceremony ended:

The ceremony continued on for several minutes afterwards.

What happened?
Well, Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre had the following excuse at the ready:

Karine Jean-Pierre says it "was planned" for Biden to abruptly leave yesterday's Medal of Honor ceremony before it was over:

As with everything else Jean-Pierre says, it's best to go with your default instinct to not believe her explanations.

Was it also planned to leave Captain Larry Taylor standing alone on that stage? https://t.co/E2tJZg3tPp

He walked through a crowd of people. How does that "minimize his close contact with attendees," @PressSec? https://t.co/QjXeUqzoLw

Right? Biden was minimizing close contact when he was on the stage with one other person, but we're going to be hearing a lot more of this excuse as the White House readies Biden's campaign from the basement.
So, Biden "very purposefully" abandoned a Medal of Honor recipient on stage before the ceremony was over — meaning the situation was as bad, if not worse, than it looked? https://t.co/V5rX6p7nel

Speaking of "minimizing the impact," we fully endorse this:
Could President Biden please leave office to minimize the impact on our nation’s attendees? https://t.co/AdRIxcv4Yo

Excellent suggestion.
