President Joe Biden's stumble as he ascended the stairs of Air Force One has reminded some on social media of a similar incident involving former Vice President Mike Pence.

Republican Pence, then Trump's second-in-command, also once struggled to get to the cabin door on a flight in June 2020. Footage of that incident has resurfaced after clips of Biden were widely shared on Friday.

A clip of the incident, originally posted last year, has been picked up on Twitter after Biden's trip.

Former Republican congressman Joe Walsh, shared the video, writing: "Oh look, Pence tripped too." His retweet has been liked more than 9,000 times since Friday evening.

1. I'd say that tripping or stumbling doesn't indicate someone can't lead but there were a lot of

people who disagreed with me about that during the Trump administration. Ableism is an ugly thing.

2. Running up stairs is always risky for anyone

Just the SLIGHTEST miscalculation is all it takes.

4. Joe is still recovering from his broken foot, he should be taking it easy.

His physical therapist probably is not happy with Joe running up stairs.

3. Not that these incidents really matter or mean anything...

But there was also this one of Moscow Mitch stumbling onto the stage...

10. Ooohhhhh.....

That's a good one!!



Where's Chevy Chase when you need him?

11. He couldn't get back up without help

And he wouldn't walk off the stage without help

[LiberalFighter]

13. That should had been pushed on the internet more.

14. He should lay off the sauce!

Looks like he's drunk.

5. It will be further evidence for Right Winger's claim that Biden is senile

Reading a thread on a rightwing site this morning about how it is obvious that Biden is suffering from dementia, that he doesn't know who he is, where he is or what he is doing, and that either Harris or Obama is really ruling.

I reminded them that Americans still chose him over Trump, and that a strong majority of Americans approve of the job Biden is doing, they want to change the subject. I mean, how bad must a sitting president have to be for the American people to reject him by a landslide (By Trump's own reasoning) in favor of a doddering old fool?

7. I defense of tripping, those stairs are steep and

the risers (step height) are most likely tall. Taller than a normal stair. Call OSHA now.

[PatSeg]

8. So I know there must be some good videos of Trump

Everyone has mishaps now and then, regardless of age or health. I think there are more embarrassing clips of Trump than any politician I can think of.

9. What a childish nation we've become. There's not a human alive who hasn't tripped or stumbled,

I hope this silliness dies out soon.

[IcyPeas]

12. there was a don jr. twitter video of trump hitting a golf ball into biden and that's why he fell .

these people are beyond childish. they are mean.

remember when v.p. cheney actually shot a guy in the face?

imagine Kamala Harris accidentally shooting someone in the face with buckshot? imagine

[Treefrog]

15. Yes, you're right. And 'imagine Kamela Harris shooting someone in the face?' HA! No shit! Actually,

I CAN imagine! Not her doing it, but what the reaction would be. How sad is it that I know exactly how they (and the media) would react.
