President Biden was sharply criticized for his rambling remarks commemorating the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, that included a joke about playing football and a false claim that he was at ground zero in Manhattan the day after the World Trade Center collapsed.
Taking the stage at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, Mr. Biden began his remarks honoring the 3,000 people killed in the attack by noting that he and Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy, a Republican, came from the same hometown.
“Gross. He can’t not make it about himself, can he?” GOP rapid response director Jake Schneider commented on X, formerly known as Twitter. “OMG. @POTUS begins his 9/11 speech talking about how he could have been an All-American…” podcast host and former NBC sports reporter Michele Tafoya wrote. “Ground Zero in New York — I remember standing there the next day and looking at the building. And I felt like I was looking through the gates of hell,” Mr. Biden said.
