REHOBOTH BEACH, DELAWARE: Country music star John Rich has stirred controversy after questioning the security measures surrounding President Joe Biden during a recent beach vacation in Delaware.

Rich, known for his outspoken Republican views, shared a video of Biden relaxing on the beach, expressing disbelief at what he perceived as a lack of visible security around the Commander-in-Chief, as per Daily Mail.



 

John Rich raises questions about security measures during Joe Biden's vacation

On August 28, Rich, 50, took to social media to express his concerns after watching footage of the 81-year-old president enjoying some downtime near Rehoboth Beach in Delaware.

In the clip, Biden is seen lounging on the beach, waving at passersby alongside his wife, Jill Biden, and her two sisters.

The scene appeared peaceful and relaxed, but Rich was concerned by what he didn't see: the president's Secret Service detail.

"Why is there no secret service around the President of the United States of America? Is he the POTUS or not? Is the Commander In Chief of the most powerful military in history just sitting on a beach waving at passerby's? With no security? C'mon man... something ain't right," Rich questioned in his post.

Rich's concerns appeared to arise from the fact that the photos and videos shared with the media did not show any visible security personnel.

However, it’s important to note that the Secret Service operates discreetly, and their agents often stay out of the public eye while maintaining a protective presence.

When the President travels, the National Security Council ensures he is always briefed on foreign and domestic affairs, no matter the location. This constant flow of information is crucial to the President's ability to lead, even while on vacation.

Biden, who has been under scrutiny for his age and mental fitness, has made it clear that he intends to fulfill the remaining months of his term.

Following a less-than-stellar debate performance against Republican nominee Donald Trump, Biden announced on July 21 that he would not seek reelection.

However, he remains committed to his duties as president, stating in a July 24 Oval Office address, "Over the next six months, I'll be focused on doing my job as president."

As Biden’s two-week vacation in Delaware winds down, he is expected to return to public duties with a scheduled appearance alongside Kamala Harris in Pittsburgh on Labor Day.

John Rich faces online backlash after raising recent questions

The internet was quick to respond to John Rich's remarks, with many users expressing their disagreement with the country star’s perspective.

One person remarked, "Country singers are never a good source of info." Another said, "Something ain't right with John Rich's eyesight."

"What a ridiculous claim. You can clearly see at least two agents nearby, one in a blue shirt and one in a white shirt. The conspiracy theories are just relentless," wrote one person.

Another added, "I do not care what some country singer has to say about anything political."

One individual wrote, "Conspiracy theory is the American past time. What a screwball." Another pointed out, "John is not rich with brains that’s for sure."

Another netizen remarked, "Low IQ Trump supporters. Beach is CLOSED to other families. About 200 yard security area." [sic]

One more added, "Rich has never come across as the sharpest tool in the shed."
