Biden Scraps Michigan Trip Ahead Of Anti-Lockdown Protests

[National File] Joe Biden has cancelled his planned trip to Michigan today, ahead of anti-COVID lockdown demonstrations, claiming the decision was made due to weather reports suggesting that DC would receive 1 to 4 inches of snow. After Biden stopped working, calling an early "lid" at 8 a.m. this morning, it was announced that Vice President Kamala Harris will conduct in-person events instead.

Biden was scheduled to fly to Portage, Michigan today to tour a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine manufacturing facility, but that trip has been postponed, with the President blaming poor weather as the excuse to stop working at 8 a.m.

The trip was cancelled before Washington had experienced any precipitation. It is also worth noting that Portage, Michigan has not experienced any snow this morning, despite temperatures plunging as low as 16 degrees Fahrenheit.

When a "lid" is called by the White House, it means that there are no in-person scheduled events for reporters. Instead, news briefings with White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki will be done over the phone today.

While Biden has cancelled all of his in-person events for the day, Harris has not. At 11:15 a.m. she hosted an event at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building near the White House.

National File has reached out to Adam Boyd, a representative of the Michigan organization known as Us Against Media, who planned to protest Biden’s brief appearance in their state. When asked about Biden’s trip cancellation, Boyd had this to say:

Sleepy Joe Biden is now using negligent amounts of snowfall as an excuse to not show up at Pfizer in Portage. Funny how he’s so concerned about himself, when there are no storms in DC or Portage today. He lets millions of Texans freeze in their homes without running water and electricity, completely ignoring them and their cries for help. Instead, he uses the crisis as an opportunity to push for more climate change regulations that will destroy the US economy and are partly to blame for the rolling blackouts. We have seen next to no snow in Portage over the last two days. The roads are clear.

US Against Media suspects that Biden cancelled his planned Michigan trip upon the revelation that peaceful demonstrations against his policies would have ensued upon his arrival.

American Brezhnev. World's laughingstock.

But the joke's on us: our POTUS is such a corrupt and senile buffoon that he's not even showing up for work each day.

Wrong. The old man cancelled because he wanted to go back to bed.
