His handler told him to “salute the Marines” and instead of doing so he walked by them mumbling “salute the Marines”
Of course the fact checkers are going “he said good looking Marines”
I am confused by this whole narrative.
He was walking into the capital, before the inauguration, so he was a private citizen. Why would he salute the marines? The Marines in the video are holding the door, and NOT saluting Biden, as is correct* because he wasn't the CinC at the time. So no salutes were needed, or exchanged, so why do people think he was muttering about salutes?
I think we can do better with our conspiracy theories.
*In the video you can hear an "Order Arms" command being given, but you can see the door holder marines at the command of execution, and it clearly wasn't being given to them, as they were not saluting.
