President Biden sparked backlash after hastily exiting a Medal of Honor ceremony at the White House, awkwardly leaving a celebrated war hero alone on the stage.

Biden, 80, quickly left the East Room after presenting the country’s top military decoration to Larry Taylor, 81, a retired Army captain who was hailed for his exploits in the Vietnam War.

Biden honored Taylor, a retired Army captain, for his bravery in the Vietnam War, where he risked his life for his comrades in the jungle in June 1968.

The helicopter pilot received the award for his role in rescuing a squadron surrounded by enemy forces as he flew through gunfire and shelling ground forces for nearly an hour.

His quick departure was condemned by military veterans following the ceremony, who argued that he had shown a brazen lack of respect for the veteran.

“Excuse my French… But what an idiot,” said former Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan. “The enduring lack of respect Biden has for everyone is appalling.”

Ryan, a podcast host, also called Biden’s recent appearance in wildfire-ravaged Hawaii as evidence of his apparent lack of respect. The incident led to the president initially being criticized for not speaking out on the crisis before delivering a rambling speech and flying to Lake Tahoe on vacation.

His recent disdain sparked a wave of anger from military supporters online when the daughter of a deceased colonel, who was lying in Arlington Cemetery, condemned him for “leaving Taylor alone on stage”.

“He hates our military,” she concluded.

“What about Biden?” “He continues to show disrespect to our men and women in uniform,” said another stunned viewer.

“This is where you leave a Medal of Honor winner alone on the stage while he makes his way out the door.” There’s nothing honorable about this president.”

He then went maskless for several minutes while standing next to Taylor. The president remains negative after tests Monday night and Tuesday morning and is showing no symptoms.

“He will mask himself indoors and around people, consistent with CDC guidelines and as has been historical practice.”

“The President will remove his mask if he maintains sufficient distance from others inside and outside,” she said Tuesday before the ceremony.

The President did not put his mask back on as he exited the East Room but gave a thumbs-up when asked how his wife was doing and said she was “fine.”

His decision to remove the mask caused headaches among viewers, with one woman remarking, “I’m overwhelmed by his behavior.” “There’s no point in coming in masked and then unmasking everyone and putting everyone in danger.”

“I hope that if they get sick, their families will complain,” said another reviewer.
