President Biden kneeled down as if to take a seat during a lull at D-Day ceremonies after meeting with vets - then started to stand for remarks by his defense secretary only to finally take his seat.
President Joe Biden squatted down during ceremonies commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day in France on Thursday, then awkwardly held the position before correcting himself while other dignitaries remained standing.
That prompted Biden to pause in his squatted position. He then slightly elevated himself as if to stand, before again lowering himself down. Biden is attuned to the comfort of guests at large public speaking events. He regularly tells his own listeners who stand for him to please take a seat if they have one.
Just as Biden was preparing to sit, an announcer told guests Defense Secretary Austin would give remarks With several thousand vets and servicemen and women in the crowd, along with dignitaries that included Macron and French first lady Brigitte Macron, Biden may have been living up an old military saying: 'Never stand when you can sit, never sit when you can lay down, never lay down when you can sleep.
