President Joe Biden was slammed on social media for disrespecting a Medal of Honor recipient by quickly bolting the ceremony after fastening the nation's highest military decoration around the soldier's neck.
Army Capt. Larry Taylor, 81, received the honor at the White House on Tuesday. Chaplain Brig. Gen. William Green Jr. then read a closing benediction.
Biden, however, was not present to hear Green's prayer. The 80-year-old president exited while the crowd stood and applauded Taylor.
"Pardon my French…But what a (*******) idiot. The continuous lack of respect Biden has for anyone is appalling. Hawaii, Service members, active shooter victims, the list goes on," Navy SEAL veteran and podcast host Shawn Ryan tweeted after Biden's exit.
