President Biden’s decision to skip King Charles III’s coronation this weekend has Brits punishing the POTUS in the press; “he’s becoming very unpopular in the eyes of the British public,” says Nile Gardiner, who served as an adviser to Margaret Thatcher.
“Certainly the British press, I think, have turned very strongly against Biden,” Gardiner says. “There’s been a lot of condemnation in the U.K. of Biden’s decision not to attend. I would say he’s becoming a very unpopular president in the eyes of the British public. I think this is just the latest snub of America’s closest friend and ally.”
From Just The News:
King Charles III is to be officially crowned king on May 6. It will be the first crowning of a monarch in Great Britain since 1953.
Confronting a widening influence-peddling investigation and approval ratings in free fall following his recent announcement that he is running for reelection, Biden opted not to join the lengthy list of heads of state and government planning to attend the coronation. The absent leader will instead be represented at the ceremony by his wife Jill Biden.
“That’s Joe Biden for you, and I think he’s a very rude and arrogant president,” Gardiner, director of the Heritage Foundation’s Thatcher Center for Freedom, said in a forthcoming interview with the “Just the News, No Noise” TV show. “He couldn’t really be bothered to go over for the coronation. The coronation is, of course, an immensely important event for the British people.”
Earlier this week, former President Trump speculated that Biden couldn’t make the trip physically —he wasn’t in shape to handle the travel.
