After Joe Biden was called out on Fox News for taking a vacation, many people on social media rallied behind the former president and criticized host Tomi Lahren for mocking the retired politician.
On Tuesday’s “Hannity,” Lahren openly mocked Biden about his year-end trip, noting, “And you’ll never believe where Joe Biden was spotted. Spoiler alert: He’s on vacation.”
This moment was cut and shared on X on Tuesday evening – and quickly went viral, gaining 4 million views in less than 24 hours. Many were baffled by Lahren’s dig, given that Biden is not currently president and has significantly retreated from public life amid his battle with cancer.
A reviewer responded on X: “quick question @TomiLahren, what year do you think it is? Another added: “Spoiler alert: he’s not president.” » A third added: “A pensioner is going on holiday. It’s not really a scandal.”
A fourth expressed a more biting sentiment, noting: “I’m pretty sure they call it retirement, you idiot.” »
Another X user criticized conservatives for giving Biden a hard time for doing exactly what they asked him to do: “Sleepy Joe Biden needs to retire so we can make fun of him for not working anymore. »
The irony of Lahren’s comments was not lost on other social media users, who pointed out that the conservative commentator was covering Sean Hannity – who was reportedly absent due to vacation. Watch the viral moment below.

Biden notably left the 2024 presidential race after concerns surfaced following his performance in a June 2024 debate against Donald Trump.
“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president,” Biden said in a letter confirming his withdrawal from the race. “And while I have intended to seek re-election, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to step aside and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”
Biden’s vice president, Kamala Harris, stepped in and ran in his place, but ultimately lost to Trump, who was inaugurated for his second term in January.
