President Biden was booed Friday as he vacationed in Lake Tahoe on the West Coast.
According to the White House, the Bidens are renting the $18 million home of environmental activist, businessman and former Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer at fair market value for a nine-day vacation following the president’s trip to Hawaii to survey damage from the recent devastating wildfires.
A video spread like wildfire across social media of the president approaching the press and speaking about economic issues as a gathered crowd of onlookers jeered.
“I’ve been talking to the UAW. Obviously, I’m concerned. I think that there should be a circumstance where the jobs that are being displaced and replaced with new jobs, the first choice should go to the UAW members who had the jobs, and the salary should be commensurate,” he said a member of the press in the video, at times being drowned out shouting.
The footage of Biden being booed was a point of humor and vindication for many Biden critics.
“Good- he deserves it,” Fox News contributor Liz Peek wrote.
“The best part is the look on his face when he hears it,” GOP Rapid Response Director Jake Schneider wrote.
