Joe Biden’s 9/11 Debacle

Travel Criticism

During the 9/11 commemoration, Joe Biden faced criticism for his travel decisions and speeches. Instead of attending the main event in New York, he chose to fly from Vietnam to Alaska, where he paid tribute to John McCain, a gesture seen as unrelated to the occasion 1. Ben Shapiro argues that Biden's actions and words contradict his claims of unity, highlighting his divisive policies and frequent deceptions 2.

Joe Biden is humiliating because Joe Biden is a corrupt politician who lies regularly.

Biden's remarks about being at Ground Zero the day after 9/11 were also called into question, as they were factually inaccurate 2.

   

Iran Deal

The timing of Biden's announcement of a $6 billion deal with Iran on 9/11 sparked controversy. Shapiro criticizes the decision to release frozen Iranian funds, arguing it contradicts the lessons of 9/11 about supporting terrorist regimes 3. The deal involved a prisoner exchange, but Shapiro points out that it included a significant financial component, raising concerns about incentivizing hostage-taking 4.

Those national interests do not involve giving $6 billion to the world's leading terror sponsors.

The Iranian President's statement that the funds would be used as they see fit further fueled skepticism about the deal's intentions 4.
