Joe Biden Tells Audience Member to 'Shush Up'
==========
During a speech about the care economy, President Joe Biden told a heckler to 'shush up'. The incident occurred while Biden was delivering remarks about his administration's plans to improve the care economy infrastructure. It is unclear what the heckler was saying. Biden's response, 'You wanna come make a speech, or shush up, okay? I'm not messing around with him. He looks like he could take me,' drew laughter from the audience. The video of his remarks went viral on social media. Biden continued with his speech after the incident, pledging to take more actions to help strengthen the care economy. He highlighted his administration's plans to enact rules to strengthen staffing standards in nursing homes and give homecare workers a larger share of Medicaid payments. Biden also contrasted himself with former President Trump, touting the American Rescue Plan's investments into the care economy and criticizing Republicans for opposing it. He emphasized his support for establishing more affordable childcare, restoring the expanded childcare tax credit, expanding Medicaid homecare services, and creating a national paid family and medical leave program. The incident received mixed reactions, with some praising Biden's response and others offering a more critical take.
