Biden's Controversial Remark Sparks Backlash at White House Eid Event #politics #biden #satire

President Joe Biden faced criticism for an incident during a White House Eid-al-Fitr event when he responded to a Muslim audience member's interruption with the phrase "hush up, boy." The exchange occurred as the attendee interrupted Biden, prompting the president to make the remark in a mimicked Southern drawl. This isn't the first time Biden has faced backlash for using the term "boy," as he previously did in a racially-charged context in February. The incident at the Eid celebration erupted after the audience member heckled Biden for not acknowledging the first Muslim federal judge present, Judge Zahid Quraishi. Biden, in response, thanked the judge for serving but faced criticism for using the term "boy," with historical racist connotations, during the exchange. The video of the incident quickly circulated online, leading to condemnation from individuals, including Texas state delegate Sarah Fields, who highlighted the potential impact of such language, especially towards someone in the armed forces. This marks another instance of Biden's verbal misstep drawing attention and criticism.
