“Good manners is nothing they’ve ever suffered from”
President Biden’s primetime speech from Philadelphia was interrupted Thursday by a heckler who chanted “F–k Joe Biden” throughout the 24-minute address, which focused on slamming former President Donald Trump as a threat to democracy.
The anti-Biden activist bellowed his profane message with such clarity that it was audible not only to Biden but to anyone listening on the official White House video feed.
“They’re entitled to be outrageous. This is a democracy,” Biden said about 20 minutes into his speech as the heckling persisted.
“Good manners is nothing they’ve ever suffered from,” he added.
The speech, delivered outside Independence Hall, was carried live by very few TV outlets — alleviating possible Federal Communications Commission obscenity penalties for networks.
He didn’t even yell “Let’s Go Brandon” to soften it up for kiddies. But why be coy? Better to just let it all hang out.
Every chant proved Biden’s point.
