Biden trolled for cameo in Jonas Brothers' TikTok for vaccine boosters: 'Nightmare of cringe'

Biden, 79, was seen acting as a cameraman in his new gig with the Jonas brothers, Joe, 32, Nick, 29, and Kevin, 34, as he lip-synced to a viral 'Sidetalk' video.

President Joe Biden decided to do a TikTok video with the Jonas Brothers in order to promote Covid-19 vaccine boosters, but it fell flat and he received a lot of flak for it on social media. 

Biden, 79, was seen acting as a cameraman in his new gig with the Jonas Brothers -- Joe, Nick, and Kevin, 34, as he lip-synced to a viral 'Sidetalk' video. The video opened with each of the brothers asking each other if they were "vaccinated," which all of them affirmed, before asking, "Who's the president, man, who's the president," as Nick lip-synced. White House video director Jonathan Herbert proudly posted the video to his own Twitter page, writing: "The video team did a little thing this week with the @jonasbrothers. Get Boosted!!!" The theme of the video was a fictional Instagram show where the hosts interview New Yorkers.

Joe and Kevin popped up behind his shoulders, confidently saying, "Byron... Byron," seemingly pronouncing Biden's name wrong. The boy band sits on a couch in festive suits and asked what they'd like to tell Biden. Kevin, lip-syncing, replies: "What up, baby?" while Nick said, "Take me out to dinner." The group eventually dropped their act with Kevin asking: "Did we get it?" The camera then panned behind and showed that none other than the POTUS himself was holding a black-cased iPhone in front of his face, acting as their cameraman. He lowered the camera and said: "We got it."

'We are living in a never ending nightmare of cringe'

Not everyone was impressed by Biden's efforts to use the Jonas brothers to encourage people to get inoculated. "Nobody’s laughing," one Twitter user wrote, while another noted, "Tell ol @POTUS to start doing actual work (idk like actually forgiving some student loans???) instead of making tik toks." A third said, "When republicans win the midterms include this video in evidence as to why." The next remarked, "You willingly shared this? I miss shame." One more commented, "Got the video, not healthcare though, or infrastructure or 15 minimum wage or..." 

Another quipped, "Tell him we are all broke and our loved ones are dead from COVID and that we need student loan forgiveness pls." One more said, "Worst potus in history." A commenter tweeted, "Yeah. Sure. The Jonas brothers are gonna make me change my mind about the vaccine. LMAO." Another pointed out, "We are living in a never ending nightmare of cringe." Another commented, "God this is embarrassing." A person reacted with, "Can you tell my bestie Biden to wake up from his nap and start revitalizing the economy, help the fight against inequality in America, and push for universal healthcare." One more noted, "It’s the way that Mr. President is in a tiktok with THE President." Another added, "Absolutely humiliated for humanity. No one should have to go out to something as bleak as this."
