Eagle-eyed viewers spot concerning feature during Biden’s address to the nation on NOLA terror attack
Eagle-eyed viewers were quick to spot a disturbing feature on President Joe Biden’s face as he addressed the nation about the terror attack in New Orleans.
Biden headed to Camp David on Wednesday evening, where he ultimately addressed the nation about the ISIS-inspired attack that left at least 15 victims on the city’s famed Bourbon Street in the early hours of New Year’s Day.
But some of the audience quickly noticed a slight difference in his face, which led to discussions about X’s overall health.
“Biden looked terrible,” one viewer told X. “He looked like he had fallen off his lower lip and looked swollen and bruised.”
Another viewer tagged Fox News and agreed, asking, “What’s wrong with the left side of his jaw and lip when President Biden gave an update today?”
“Did he have dental surgery, did he fall, or did he have a mini-stroke?” they added. “What about figuring it out? Something isn’t right.’
A third viewer jumped in and tagged the White House account, adding, “Biden looked like he had fallen and couldn’t get up before his speech.”
“Look at his lip…he also has a scar above his lip on the left side of his face,” they added. ‘I couldn’t be the only one who noticed this!!’

Some eagle-eyed viewers quickly noticed a slight difference in his face, leading to discussions on X about his overall health and whether he fell and broke his lip before the speech
Yet his apparently wounded face wasn’t the only thing that caused viewers to doubt his presidential abilities during his final eighteen days in office.
The 82-year-old president’s health has since been in the news again The Wall Street Journal published a story on Dec. 19 about how aides dealt with a “diminished” president throughout his term.
The report found that aides would have to repeat clear instructions to Biden — such as where to leave a stage.
Wednesday evening’s speech, which lasted less than five minutes, turned out to be no different.
Biden began his appearance at Camp David by comforting mourners.
“Our nation mourns with you. We will stand with you in the coming weeks as you grieve and heal,” the President said.
Biden thanked the first responders who rushed to Bourbon Street and the law enforcement officers who shot and killed 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar, the subject.
He said explosives were found in the Jabbar’s vehicle and more were found in the area.
Viewers also again questioned his cognitive skills during Wednesday night’s speech after Biden appeared to have a hiccup as he squinted at the teleprompter and left the stage, ignoring further questions about the attack.
Biden’s recent mistakes came just days after he muscled his way through a nine-minute performance on St. Croix on Sunday night to pay tribute to the late President Jimmy Carter
Biden reiterated that the alleged killer was a Texas-born American who served in the armed forces and was inspired by ISIS to mow down and kill at least 15 victims just hours into the new year, while also advising that “no one should jump to conclusions Pull’ .
“The FBI also reported to me that just hours before he attacked, he posted videos on social media that showed he was inspired by ISIS — specifically the desire to kill, the desire to kill,” Biden said. “The ISIS flag was found in his vehicle, which he rented to carry out this attack.”
But at one point during the speech, Biden appeared to have a hiccup while looking at the teleprompter.
Once you heard him say “there you go” after looking at his notes during a period of awkward silence.
Viewers were also quick to criticize the president’s brief remarks after he left the stage, ignoring any questions shouted at him as he walked toward the exit.
“I’m so tired of this man running away from the press. An entire presidency that turns its back on the American people,” wrote one viewer on X.
Another intervened, adding: ‘The ice is melting so he had to run. It doesn’t eat itself, you know.’
“Stumbled out of the room without tripping,” wrote another. ‘Great success.’
“He couldn’t even stay focused while reading the notes his staff had prepared for him…” said another.
Biden’s recent mistakes came just days after he muscled his way through a nine-minute appearance on St. Croix on Sunday night to pay tribute to the late President Jimmy Carter.
His coughing and slow labor reinforced frequent concerns about his declining cognitive skills.
Biden was also in hot water for his “tone deaf” response to the overnight tragedy in New Orleans, which outraged viewers on social media.
His first post on
Furious people took to social media to immediately point out his “heartless” blunder, calling it callous and insensitive to the victims and their families.
“Joe Biden is a heartless pos,” one user wrote. “People were killed in a terrorist attack, and he just tweeted, ‘Happy New Year, folks.’ January 20 can’t come soon enough.’
“It’s completely awkward and tone deaf,” another added.
Biden was also criticized for his “tone deaf” and “heartless” response to the New Orleans tragedy, angering viewers on social media
Biden also declined to answer whether he had spoken to Trump, who took to social media to blame the New Year’s attack on rampant illegal migration over the past four years under Biden.
But about an hour after his New Year’s post, Biden finally issued a formal statement condemning the “act of terrorism” and offering his condolences to the families of the victims.
He then addressed reporters as he boarded his plane to Camp David, saying he would soon have “more to say” and that his initial reaction was one of “anger and frustration.”
Although it was confirmed that the 42-year-old suspect was a US citizen, Trump used social media to blame the attack on rampant illegal migration carried out under Biden over the past four years.
“When I said that the criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals we have in our country, that statement was continually refuted by Democrats and the Fake News Media, but it turned out to be true,” Trump wrote in Truth Social on Wednesday . morning.
‘Crime in our country is at a level that no one has ever seen before. Our hearts are with all the innocent victims and their loved ones, including the brave officers of the New Orleans Police Department.”
“The Trump Administration will fully support the City of New Orleans in investigating and remediating this act of pure evil!”
