VIDEO: Utility workers turn their backs on Biden as presidential motorcade passes in wake of Hurricane Ida catastrophe
September 07, 2021
A video showing utility workers turning their backs on President Joe Biden as his motorcade passed them on a Louisiana road in the wake of Hurricane Ida has gone viral — and the workers' act of defiance has earned them more than a few kudos.
What are the details?
It isn't clear exactly where and when the cellphone video was recorded, but a New Orleans ambulance passed by after the Biden motorcade, so the back-turn presumably took place somewhere in the vicinity of the Crescent City.
Biden on Friday also delivered remarks in LaPlace, Louisiana — which is about 32 miles northwest of New Orleans — on his administration's response to Hurricane Ida.
As the motorcade approached, a couple of utility workers watched facing forward —

— but as Biden & Co. drew closer, the pair turned their backs on the president, along with about five other utility workers:

"No respect," the individual recording the video said after he and his co-workers were done turning the backs on Biden.
Here's the clip:

'God bless you all!'
Praise for the utility workers poured in all over social media. Here's a sampling from the "top comments" underneath the YouTube clip:
- "No one likes these people. Biden is incompetent. Harris is MIA. Their underlings are running things," one commenter wrote. "Ask Democrats a simple question: 'Is America safer and better off than we were 1 YEAR ago?' Not 4 years ago. 1 year. It's taken less than 9 months for this administration to screw things up worse than anyone could have imagined."
- "I'm surprised there was no hearse in the procession," another commenter quipped. "After all, he's a walking cadaver."
- "Middle fingers would have enhanced it even more," another commenter said.
- "You guys (and gals) ROCK!" another commenter exclaimed. "This administration is filled with cretins."
- "Thank you for helping! God bless you all!" another commenter wrote. "We stand with you turning our backs on Biden and his gang!"
- "This is what happens when you let a magic box decide. You get a crash dummy for a president," another commenter offered.
