A video parody featuring the US President, Joe Biden, and Vice President Kamala Harris has been circulating on Twitter and has gained significant attention. The skit was broadcasted on Saudi Arabia’s state-run television network and humorously depicted Mr Biden’s frequent balance issues.
The video was shared on Twitter by @PapiTrumpo and showed an actor portraying the 80-year-old President stumbling on the steps of Air Force One, while another actor played Vice President Kamala Harris, who looked on in horror.
The video also showed the actor portraying Mr Biden wrapping up a speech and waving from a podium at the White House. He is then seen saluting and stepping down from the podium, taking a couple of steps forward and extending his hand to another, only to realize there’s nobody there. Furthermore, the video shows the “President” trying to shake hands with an American flag before being guided in the right direction by a startled “Vice President”.
Since its release on Friday, the clip has accumulated more than 664,000 views and over 14,000 likes on Twitter. While some users found the parody humorous, others criticized it for being disrespectful. One user wrote, “It would be extremely funny if it was a parody, but in fact, it is extremely sad because it is not.” Another user said, “It’s funny and scary at the same time.”
According to the New York Post, this is the second time in the last year that the Saudi channel has aired a sketch mocking Mr Biden and Ms Harris. In April of last year, “Studio 22” produced a sketch in which the “President” was seen as a forgetful old man who fell asleep at the podium and needed to be woken up by the “Vice President”.
