Video footage of President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden arriving at the Kennedy Center Honors to a standing ovation Sunday night seemed to show the Bidens ignoring Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentlemen Doug Emhoff even though the couple was standing right next to them, according to the New York Post.
Harris was beaming as she clapped for the Bidens and didn't seem to notice that she was being snubbed.
Joe Biden was smiling broadly as he received the applause. He looked around at the audience and pointed at different people.
Biden seemed to look at Emhoff, but not at Harris.
On social media, some users commented that the interaction seemed "awkward" and speculated that maybe the Bidens felt "robbed" by Harris after he was made to step aside for her and then she didn't win the election.
Some even suggested that the Bidens might have voted for President-elect Donald Trump to spite Harris.
"Where is the joy?" one asked of Democrats, echoing Harris's campaign slogan.
The Kennedy Center Honors was hosted by Queen Latifah and honored members of the Grateful Dead, Bonnie Raitt and Francis Ford Coppola, among others.
It is held at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC each year to honor artists that have made an impact in the U.S.
For the most part, Biden has been minimized since he gave up on his re-election bid.
The media and Democrats have been only too happy to ignore his embarrassing gaffes and doddering ways as his presidency winds down.
But while the majority of voters showed they were sick of him on Election Day, the entertainment class is still all too willing to show their allegiance.
For a little while, the Bidens could pretend they aren't has-beens whose time has passed and whose legacy will quickly be forgotten.
