What a lousy place to spread your political agenda.

[Becker]

He literally “ put them back in chains!” With his past crime bill…

[TheRealJayguar]

My condolences go out to all who had to witness this atrocity.

[thewebstylist]

Of course NBC didn’t mention his bumbling parts of bidens talk

[NupSandCastle]

Bidumb to the students who turned their backs to him...."you ain't Black".

[rod.Anderson]

How many students turned their backs,

[cwaynebrock]

He's a embarrassing for America and to himself and his family. Kamala Harris is even much worse.

[daviddigital]

You ain't Black unless you vote for Joe

[asasupplies]

His speech was as long as the video..59 seconds of incoherence.

[Theeleven]

Congratulations to the graduating class! But remember, there is a way out, if you don’t vote for Biden you’ll no longer be BLACK

[Wythaneye]

You'll notice they never play his actual speech; the anchors just talk over him telling us what they want us to hear.

[jefflovinfishin]

Massive accomplishment that he was able to understand where he was.

[bbass]

America! Love it or leave it!
If you don’t like what’s going on go over there and do something about it.

[Kitkat]

He can’t put two words together. He is a disgrace.

[louminati]

I really enjoyed the graduates that turned their back to blubbering Biden!

[mikeroy]

Pathetic - I'm beginning to feel sorry for the sap. No support from me.

[tree]

"Mostly well received" as the graduates would rather leave than share a stage with him.
"Mostly peaceful protest" as the reporter is standing in front of a block of burning buildings.

[kevindunn]

NBC did their darndest to make Joe look good, but judging by the comments, the people aren't buying it.

[mannymil]

Of course the students would be upset! the president didn't even know the name of the school yesterday. Pathetic!

Were any of Corn Pop’s family in the audience?😎
