Tuesday brings us not just the 4th of July, but our Independence Day, with a deep meaning for the start of this great American experiment. Although the day is still somewhat young, it doesn't appear to strike too much enthusiasm from President Joe Biden thus far.
At 10am, the White House tweeted a simple "Happy Fourth of July, America" message. Biden's official account tweeted something similar at around 9:30am, a "Happy Fourth, America," tweet with different colors. His personal account retweeted the message
Additionally, Biden's personal account tweeted out a message about the troops, though he still refused to acknowledge the day as the Independence Day that it was.
Later in the day, Biden and First Lady Jill Biden host a lavish concert and BBQ on the White House lawn, with military families and veterans in attendance. They had just returned from Camp David after a long holiday weekend, along with Hunter Biden. Monday's notes show the president is going away yet again, this time back to Delaware, "ahead of a five-day trip to Europe."
Such a tepid celebration of the holiday appears to be a theme among recent Democratic presidents. Aspeople really took issue with how Barack and Michelle Obama celebrated the holiday over Twitter. This included calling to mind the less than patriotic comments--to put it politely--from the couple in the past.
“Never forget that there was a time when President Obama refused to salute to the American flag.”
“Remember when Michelle Obama was w/Barack during a 9/11 ceremony in 2011 while bagpipers played & soldiers folded an American flag? You know what she said? “All this for a damn flag" Michelle doesn’t just hate our Supreme Court She hates America”
