Rapper 50 Cent set social media on fire over the weekend when he posted a video blasting President Biden’s decision to take another beach vacation in Delaware, as the chaos in the war between Israel & Hamas continued.
“Hey Joe, get up! We’re in trouble!” 50 Cent shared a screenshot of an article entitled “Biden Hits the Beach with Middle East and Congress in Chaos” on Instagram.
In a post that included a screenshot of an article with the headline “50 Cent flames Biden,” he wrote: “We’ve got some real sh*t going on here Joe.” What’s your plan to get a nice tan? Come on, chill out.
On social media, conservatives who agreed with him immediately reacted.
Students for Trump’s founder Ryan Fournier wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “Rapper 50 Cent doubles down on criticizing Joe Biden.” “People are awakening!”
Alex Bruesewitz is a Trump influencer, CEO of X Strategies LLC, and a Trump critic. He posted on X: “Rapper50 Cent calls out Joe Biden, for sleeping on the beaches while our country and the world suffer because of his failings.”
The social media team of Twitchy.com shared a post on X.
Karoline Leavitt, the spokesperson for Make America Great Again, posted the following on X: “[50 cent] speaking truth.”
Andrew Bates, the deputy spokesperson for the White House, reacted to the criticisms. He said, “As it has been in the past century, presidents are able to perform their full range of duties anywhere in the globe – be it a warzone in Israel or just 100 miles away from the White House, in Delaware.”
Bates continued to say that Biden was “working long hours every single day” and had spoken with many world leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Canadian Premier Justin Trudeau, and French President Emmanuel Macron. He also spoke to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, as well as U.K. PM Rishi Sunak, about his support for Israel’s rights to defend themselves and to push for aid for innocent Palestinians.
Bates added, “He delivered more security assistance for Israel, a second shipment to Palestinian civilians, and made progress towards passage of his supplemental bill to increase border funding and grow our economy.” “While the House Republicans were in recess, they were bickering amongst themselves.”
Biden was on his Delaware beach house over the weekend, as the chaos in the war between Israel & Hamas continued to unfold. Meanwhile, the House Republicans failed in their attempt to elect a new speaker to replace Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).
A social media account of the Republican National Committee shared on X that “Americans continue to be held hostage by Hamas terrorism – and Joe Biden’s at the beach.”
Biden’s time in Delaware has been criticized by conservatives. The New York Post reported that in August, he spent 40% of his time as president on overnight trips to places other than the White House. This put him on track to become “America’s most idle chief executive.”
