A man walks up to a podium with the White House as a backdrop. He stumbles before reaching the podium and is helped by what look like Secret Service agents.
While this has played out in real life featuring President Joe Biden, the man is actually comedian Maurizio Crozza, who has been mocking Biden in Saturday Night Live-style skits on Italian TV. The skit was posted on X, formerly Twitter.
The show — called “Fratelli di Crozza” — airs on Warner Bros. Discovery.
Crozza can be seen doing prat falls, stumbling over words and forgetting people’s names, including his own, apparently showcasing Biden’s cognitive decline.
“What’s your name?” he asked the podium. “My name is Joe Kennedy.”
He circles around, turns to the podium, extends his hand for a handshake, saying again, “My name is Joe Kennedy.”
Many responded to the skit by pointing out this must be what the world thinks of the U.S.
“It’s not just Americans who think Biden’s a joke,” QueenMother said.
“This is what the world thinks of Biden,” Patrick Webb wrote.
Anti-Commie Tommy simply said, “Accurate.”
This isn’t the only skit mocking Biden.
Another skit shows him pressing the nuclear button as he thinks he is ringing for a nurse.
The skits have also brought out those supporting for President Donald Trump.
“Italian TV is mocking the President of the United States, Joe Biden,” Brigitte Gabriel said. “I miss having a leader who represented our country with class and strength. I miss Trump!”
Biden, 81, has faced scrutiny with many memory lapses and other gaffes.
Most recently, this came to light when Biden was questioned about his handling of classified documents while he was vice president, Newsweek reported.
A report by special counsel Robert Hur “raised questions about his cognitive abilities, including suggesting his memory was “significantly limited,” according to Newsweek.
Biden has repeatedly denied any issues and claims the statements about his mental status are politically motivated.
