Everyone is talking about Joe Biden’s 9/11 photograph.
You will quickly understand why after one glance.
This photo was taken at Ground Zero’s 9/11 memorial on the 20th Anniversary of the attack.
Biden was accompanied by his wife Jill to the Clintons and the Obamas.
The image of Biden isn’t “a contemplative picture during those solemn moments,” Townhall writes. “It was an odd picture that clashed with the solemnity of the occasion, of him taking down his mask and yelling at someone.”
Biden appears to be shouting at someone in the crowd. However, it quickly sparked widespread social media reactions.
“Biden morphed into ‘old man yelling at clouds’ during ground zero remembrance,” Townhall stated.
Here’s the original image, which was apparently taken by Getty Images and then shared to Twitter via White House Correspondent for Breitbart Charlie

It’s not clear who Biden was shouting at.
It is evident that Biden is not following his own instructions by removing the mask from the middle of a crowd and shouting.
This clearly negates the mask’s supposed purpose.
Townhall perfectly explains the situation:
It’s something he’s done before, even taking down his mask to cough into his empty hand, and then placing his hands on a podium and putting his mask back up.
It’s like he forgot the script that he’s supposed to be delivering on, when he does these things. And it tells us that someone really doesn’t believe in its worth when they do these things.
It’s a picture that completely sums up Biden in one shot: empty gestures and incoherence. Just a very bad place for Joe Biden to be, once again, Joe Biden.
You can see the look from Barack Obama — it’s as if he’s chastising him silently in his head, as though he can’t believe that he did it.
Here are some of the reactions:
