An irritable President Biden snapped at a reporter while meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the White House.

The uncomfortable moment drew thoughts of the effects of dementia when a journalist asked the 81-year-old president to respond to Vladimir Putin’s warning that Russia would be “at war” with the United States and its allies if they lift restrictions on Ukraine’s use of long-range missiles.

Biden shot back, “I say you be quiet until I speak. Okay? That’s what I say. Good idea?”

The reporter pressed, stressing that Putin’s statement represents “a serious threat” of war, prompting Biden to angrily declare, “You’ve got to be quiet. I’m going to make a statement here, okay?”

In sharing the clip, the RNC ReSearch account on X said, “His cognitive decline (which Kamala covered up) has turned him even angrier.”

“See how uncomfortable everyone is at the table. You don’t talk to a dog the way Biden talks to people he thinks are beneath him,” New York Post columnist Miranda Devine posted on X in response to the clip. “The meek and mild American reporters in this White House must have Stockholm Syndrome because the way this administration treats them would not be tolerated in any other Western nation.”

Social media users were in agreement, though many pointed out that Biden has always been a “mean nasty old coot.”

Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:
