Former President Barack Obama had to do a bit of damage control Tuesday after his White House visit resulted in an especially embarrassing moment for the current president.
Obama joined President Joe Biden to host a health care event celebrating the 12th anniversary of the signing of the Affordable Care Act. Much to Biden’s mortification, video showing the president wandering alone on stage as the crowd surrounds Obama is being widely shared online.
Republican National Committee Research posted the video with the caption, “Literally no one wants to talk to Joe Biden … this is so sad.”

Obama took to Twitter in an attempt to save face for the president:

Some of Biden’s supporters argued the embarrassing video required more context.
