What did Jill Biden slip POTUS before speech? Internet erupts with theories

The incident happened before the president signed the Respect For Marriage Act on the White House South Lawn on December 13

WASHINGTON, DC: An apparent exchange between President Joe Biden and the first lady, Jill Biden, has created an uproar on the internet. The moment, which has gone viral, reportedly happened before the POTUS signed the Respect For Marriage Act to safeguard same-sex and interracial marriages at the White House South Lawn on December 13.

The footage showed Jill seemingly handing over something to her husband, which he soon appeared to put inside his mouth. He then sat on a chair while surrounded by Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Douglas Emhoff. The now-viral clip has attracted numerous reactions on the Internet, with many joking that the first lady gave something sweet to the commander-in-chief for his good work.

A user tweeted, “They give him Cookies every time he signs something!” “Every time he does a trick he gets a sugar cube,” Conservative writer Jim Treacher quipped. “Believe me I am no Biden fan and I think he has issues but this could very well be just a mint, maybe he has really bad old man breath,” one user speculated while another wrote, “Imagine this scene played out with Melania and Donald. Imagine the insanity we would have seen from the Left and the MSM. They would have demanded to know exactly what it was, and a list of the ingredients. They would have called for Congressional investigation. We get crickets.”

“He’s 80 he can’t go all day without some sort of booster,” someone stated. Another said, “Probably medicine for dementia. They hope it helps him fumble verbally less!” “It was a smart pill.  She keeps giving them to him hoping they will work. So far….not so much!” someone joked.

According to CBS News, Biden said in his address, “Today, I sign the Respect for Marriage Act into law. Deciding whether to marry, who to marry, is one of the most profound decisions a person can make. And as I've said before and some of you might remember, on a certain TV show 10 years ago, I got in trouble. Marriage, I mean this with all of my heart, marriage is a simple proposition: Who do you love and will you be loyal to that person you love? It's not more complicated than that.”

He also called out the “extreme” Supreme Court as he said, “We need to challenge the hundreds of callous and cynical laws introduced in the states targeting transgender children, terrifying families and criminalizing doctors who give children the care we need. We have to protect these children so they know they are loved.”

Biden then went on to explain before a huge crowd that also included Cyndi Lauper and Sam Smith, “So sadly, I must acknowledge another reason we're here. Congress is acting because an extreme Supreme Court has stripped away the rights afforded to millions of Americans that existed for half a century. When a person can be married in the morning and thrown out of a restaurant for being gay in the afternoon - this is still wrong.”

“Folks, racism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia. They're all connected. But the antidote to hate is love. This law and the law that defends strike a blow against hate in all its forms,” the US leader reportedly added.
