‘Frightening to watch’: Paul Murray rips into Joe Biden’s Oval Office address

Sky News host Paul Murray says US President Joe Biden’s Oval Office speech was “frightening to watch”.

The 81-year-old ended his re-election campaign on Sunday after facing relentless pressure over his capabilities to lead amid concern around his cognitive state.

“What you saw was the battle between the ego of the man, the desperation of the people around him, the lie that we have been told increasingly as his health has deteriorated,” Mr Murray said.

“This was frightening.”

Lied about Hunter getting money from the red Chinese, lied about Hunters lap top, lied about his own grades, guy is just a disaster and always had been.

Ask those sitting in jail or awaiting trial for Jan. 6 th if they feel like they live in a democracy or ask Donald J. Trump after being persecuted by the democrat party for the past 8 years!!

[rubyrose]

They used him until they didn't need him any more. Then they unceremoniously gave him the boot.

[mustangthings]

He was trying so hard to read that teleprompter. I’ve never seen someone put that much effort into it.

[Catch]

Hit the road Joe. Don’t you come back no more. FJB. We have witnessed the worst president in the history of this country.

[oldnutta]

It's often hard to believe this is actual real life.

Swapping out Joe Biden for Kamala Harris, is like Crapping your pants and only changing your shirt!

[andrewparry]

It was a pathetic ‘’woe is me’’ speech.

[erikwade]

Biden's right. It's time for new young voices. New young voices like that of J.D. Vance.

[johnminer]

The question is how much more damage can be done in the next 6 months.

[iddddaduncan]

What about the economy, inflation and the flood of illegals? who gives a hoot about the drivel he was talking about.

[leeroyjenkins]

I'm not an American citizen but seeing these things happen to America, it's frightening. I'm from a third world country and we're used to this shzz but USA?! That's haunting. The world is watching, leaders and ordinary people. The next 6 months, anything can happen. Godbless America indeed.

[clivebaxter]

Not his speech, the usual hypocritical drivel about democracy.

[connieronken]

He needs to go ASAP. He is too ill. Why is it when someone that has been diagnosed with dementia, DOT pulls there drivers license immediately. It's like they are allowing a person with dementia to drive a school bus on public roadways. This is ludicrous.

[frankmarti]

If they put the vp in now America will see just how bad it's going to be with her in charge

[tithos]

What a joke. How is Biden still in power.

[jameshayes]

It is "all about the party".
It has always been "all about the party".
It will always be "all about the party".

[ericwightman]

That’s the scariest part, we have no idea who is actually making these decisions. We know he hasn’t been right since the beginning of his term.

[liamkelly]

The teleprompter in the window reflection is nuts

[NenneSez]

and he spoke with barely a blink of the eyes!! yes, it's frightening.
