Biden’s Whereabouts Unknown as Americans Face Terrorist Attack
Where is President Biden in Times of Crisis?
President Joe Biden’s response to crises has been consistently disappointing. It’s safe to say that the bar for his leadership is pretty low. However, when one of America’s strongest allies, Israel, was brutally attacked by the barbaric Islamic extremist group Hamas, and American citizens were among the victims, we have to ask: Where the hell is Biden?
On Saturday morning, Biden briefly addressed Hamas’ unprecedented assault on Israel in a speech. Since then, it has been revealed that at least nine American citizens were killed and an unknown number were captured by the terrorists.
However, Biden has been noticeably absent since then. The White House communications team even called a lid on the day, meaning Biden would not be making any more public appearances. Meanwhile, Hamas has threatened to kill civilian hostages in response to Israeli airstrikes, potentially including Americans.
Instead of addressing this crisis, Biden and his administration have been tweeting about unrelated topics such as abortion, junk fees, and job numbers. This absence of leadership has not gone unnoticed, with many criticizing Biden’s lack of action.
American hostages being held in Gaza by Iran-backed terrorist organization and the White House called a lid before noon. Maybe we should get an actual president before a new Speaker of the House. https://t.co/08V4AXgEee

“This is a disgusting disgrace,” said Fox News’ Mark Levin. “And, yet again, our enemies around the world take notice.”
Biden has ”called a lid” for the rest of the day, meaning no public or press events. This is a disgusting disgrace. And, yet again, our enemies around the world take notice.

Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer also questioned Biden’s whereabouts.

Senator Tom Cotton criticized Biden’s lack of action and his appeasement of Iran, which has only fueled terrorism.
Nine Americans are dead, an unknown number are missing or held hostage, yet President Biden is nowhere to be seen and has nothing to say. He’s totally overmatched by events and paralyzed in a crisis, partly because his own foolish appeasement of Iran fueled a campaign of terror.

Amidst this absence of leadership, former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy has stepped up with a five-point plan to respond to the Hamas attacks and support Israel.
“Now is the time for action,” McCarthy declared. “America needs a five-point plan to meet this moment, to help our ally Israel, and to strengthen our own future. The very first thing we need to do is rescue the American hostages. President Biden’s number one priority right now must be finding out how many Americans have been taken hostage and getting them home. From last night to this morning, the number of American deaths has doubled from four to nine. This administration must also make clear that harming any American will result in the wrath of the United States. We cannot repeat what happened in Afghanistan. It must be clear that we do not negotiate with terrorists and no American will be left behind.”

The White House did release a statement through a deputy spokesperson, but it focused more on attacking the RNC Chairman rather than providing strong leadership on the world stage.

In conclusion, the absence of President Biden in times of crisis is deeply concerning. It seems that no matter how bad we think it currently is under his leadership, it always manages to get worse.

What is the significance of increasing military assistance to Israel in the context of the hostage situation?
Hostages could have increased. We cannot afford to wait any longer.”
McCarthy’s plan also includes increasing military assistance to Israel, imposing stricter sanctions on Iran and its proxies, holding Iran accountable for its support of terrorist organizations, and ensuring the safety and security of American citizens abroad.
While President Biden remains absent, McCarthy’s plan has gained support from several other Republican lawmakers, who are urging the administration to take immediate action.
It is crucial for the President of the United States to demonstrate strong leadership in times of crisis. American citizens are counting on their government to protect and rescue them when they are in danger. The absence and lack of action from President Biden are deeply concerning and send a message of weakness to our enemies. It is essential for him to step up, address the nation, and prioritize the safety of American citizens.
