JOE Biden has been blasted for making an eye-rolling gesture as he slurred through a bitter rant about rival President Donald Trump on The View.
The 82-year-old and his wife Jill sat down for one of their first appearances since exiting the White House.

Biden didn’t hold back his feelings on Trump when he was asked about his rival’s first 100 days during Thursday’s taping.
The former president called it the “worst” showing in American history and blasted, “honesty is not his strong point,” as the audience clapped.
But before going on a slurring rant, Biden first made a sign of the cross alongside host Ana Navarro in an eye-rolling gesture to show his true feelings.
Horrified viewers slammed the former president for his thoughtless move, saying that he made “Christianity a punch line.”
“I’m Catholic and I’m offended,” said one critic on X.
Another person deemed the move “pathetic” as others commended clown-faced emojis.
“Ana does not even know how to make the sign of the cross,” cried another user.
When asked about ex-Vice President Kamala Harris’ embarrassing election loss, Biden blamed “sexism” in America.
“I wasn’t surprised because they went […] the sexist route,” he said of the American people.
He insisted that Harris was fully equipped to serve as president, and stressed that she had her own point of view for how she would lead the country.
“We argued like hell by the way,” Biden said, adding that it was “good” that the two had disagreements over decisions.
When asked about Harris’ plans for the future, Biden didn’t give a straight answer but said that they keep in constant contact about her next moves.
Meanwhile, Biden praised his own efforts as commander in chief and said he blew expectations out of the water by passing legislation to rebuild from Covid-19.
FIRST INTERVIEW
His first post-White House interview was with the BBC on Monday, where he mumbled and coughed through winding answers to the reporter’s questions.
When asked about his last-minute decision to ditch his second-term bid and hand over the baton to Vice President Kamala Harris, Biden said he wouldn’t have it any other way.
“I don’t think it would have mattered,” he said when asked about pulling out of the race earlier.
“We left at a time when we had a good candidate.”
Biden’s responses came after his embarrassing performance debating President Donald Trump quickly led to him being ushered out of a second term.
In the debate, Biden sputtered and gave unintelligible responses while Trump dominated the stage.
Despite voicing his confidence in Harris, the last-minute nominee suffered a crushing defeat in the November election, losing a healthy number of electoral and popular votes to her rival.
