Former Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller warned on Friday that President Biden’s verbal lapses and gaffes are becoming a “national security crisis”.
“Our opponents around the world – Iran, Russia, Venezuela and China – are looking at the United States and its main representative, the president of our country, who cannot even go through a softball interview without a sheet of glue and falls three times up a flight of stairs. It’s sad to watch, “Miller said during an appearance on Fox News'” Hannity “.
Miller’s comments came after host Sean Hannity played clips showing Biden demanding a “glue sheet” when answering questions and referring to his vice president as “President Harris”.
Early Friday, Biden stumbled several times as he climbed the stairs to board Air Force One at Andrews Joint Base in Maryland.
“I’m not happy about that,” said Miller. “This is extremely serious. I went up and down those stairs many times. They are not slippery, and the Air Force ensures that they are not slippery.”

Hannity noted that the media has been largely silent about the Biden stumble incident, contrasting this with the wall-to-wall coverage of then President Donald Trump walking cautiously down a ramp after an event in West Point, New York.
He showed clips of Associated Press reporter Jonathan Lemire and Joe Scarborough of MSNBC criticizing Trump and theorizing about his aptitude for the job.
At the time, Lemire said Trump’s physical condition should have made it difficult for him to criticize Biden during the 2020 presidential campaign.
“I am pointing out the obvious, because he is the president of the United States, the leader of the free world, the commander-in-chief. This is the most difficult job in the world – the most demanding job in the world, “said Hannity.

Later in the segment, Miller said Russian President Vladimir Putin distinctly acknowledged Biden’s apparent acuity, which is why the former KGB agent recently challenged the American president to a live debate after being called “an assassin” “.
“They are mocking us openly. They are mocking President Biden. It is humiliating and this is compounded by the fact that when you have a commander in chief who ‘is not at home’ and is not there,” he said.
“They are mocking us openly. They are mocking President Biden. It’s humiliating.”
“You will have embarrassing episodes like what happened in Alaska, where China dared to lecture us on human rights. And [Secretary of state Antony] Blinken and [National Security Adviser Jake] Sullivan sits there and takes it? “He was annoyed.

Miller concluded that American diplomats were “apologizing for America” in part because they had “no leadership at the top”.
“The president is not at home. Other countries see this weakness and are attacking and we are all less secure.”
