‘Biden rebukes guest at White House Islamic holiday event with ‘Hush Up, Boy’.’

President Biden Scolds Guest at White House Event

President Joe Biden scolded a guest at Monday’s White House event in honor of Eid al-Fitr, celebrating the end of the Islamic holiday Ramadan. Biden began his remarks with a joke, promising to keep it brief so attendees could make it to their 6 p.m. prayers. But when an audience member called out to the president, alerting him to the fact that the United States’ first and only Muslim federal judge was in attendance, things took a turn.

“We also have the first federal judge — Muslim federal judge. The only one,” the audience member called out, apparently concerned that Biden had not recognized him earlier in the program. “Hey, Judge, how are you?” Biden responded, adding, “I don’t know why you wanted the job, man. I appoint all those federal judges, but, you know, thank you for serving. I’m not kidding.”

But when Biden attempted to get back to the planned program, the audience member who had interrupted earlier continued to talk over him. “Do you want to come and make a speech?” Biden asked, waving him forward and prompting laughter from the audience. After a brief pause, Biden scolded him: “Hush up, boy, as my mother would say.”

Reelection Campaign Facing Uphill Battle

President Biden is only one week into his reelection campaign, which was officially announced via a video early last Tuesday morning, and he is facing an uphill battle even amongst his own party. Polling released just prior to his announcement indicate that a majority of Democrats would prefer to see someone other than Joe Biden running for their party’s nomination in 2024. Those polls have also suggested that Republicans are in similar straits, with a majority saying they’d prefer to see someone other than their party’s early front-runner — former President Donald Trump.

Conclusion

Despite the incident at the White House event, President Biden went on to conclude his remarks about the month-long Islamic holiday, calling Ramadan “a time to slow down, reconnect, and remember what matters most.”
