Former United States President Joe Biden made a rare public appearance, leaving restaurant patrons stunned. Specifically, the 82-year-old Biden was spotted dining on Sunday (02/11) at an Italian restaurant in Arlington, Virginia, with former Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin. Joe Biden, who will turn 83 next month, appeared publicly after completing radiation therapy last month for stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer, which he was diagnosed with last May.
During this appearance, the former president looked noticeably weak. According to video posted on social media, the former US President was flanked by Secret Service agents as he moved slowly on the restaurant’s outdoor patio.

Joe Biden dined at Carbonara in Arlington, VA, on Sunday.
His walking was lurchy and arms barely swung.
It’s a reminder of how MSM and Democrats blatantly lied about his ability to serve.
Never forget how they covered for his physical and cognitive decline.

Joe Biden sat across from Lloyd Austin and an unknown woman and, according to local outlet WUSA9, ate bacon-wrapped shrimp, capellini pasta, and tiramisu, reports the New York Post.
It’s worth noting that this was his second public appearance since announcing he was undergoing cancer treatment, with Biden appearing visibly weak as he made his way to the table.

Notice how he’s just as energetic as usual? He could still be president.
