#NBCNews #VietnamWar #MedalOfHonor
Congrats Mr. Larry Taylor. Your sacrifice is so appreciated. God Bless. We love you.
Real!❤
This is wonderful. A true Hero. Well done.
Full-blown state-sponsored clown show NBC
Too long for a medal should received it decades ago
What an honor to receive this remarkable medal from such a president of stellar integrity and honor. Brings a tear to my eye knowing how this war hero is being elevated to the stature he deserved by a man who has been the pinnacle of integrity his entire life. Biden is a national treasure and is bestowing unbound appreciation to a man who has sacrificed so much. Such a moment!
🤣good one👍
Well said.
Even tho Biden walked off stage before the ceremony ended. Disgraceful.
@FreyjaHe is going to buy some ice cream
For the record, I meant none of the above. Biden is the greatest national disgrace in American history, and we’d have never gotten to this pathetic place without the help of Barack Obama the covert homosexual president. However, thank you for the sacrifice of the medal of honor recipient.
As usual; N.othing B.ut C.ommunism doesn’t show Brain-Dead leaving before the ceremony was complete.
It’s nice to that we have TASS News in the United States.
T would call him a LOSER and SUCKER! Lv u Joe
And you would put this comment on YouTube
@not really he’s factually correct, if you just take Trump at his word.
Drumpf says those sort of things
WHERE AM I GOING?
To the Ice Cream shop 😉
Vote President Biden to keep America safe and away from Trump the spy
I really like how you guys cut the story when the Potato and Chief walk off the stage without saying a word.
What an absolute embarrassment – evident in LT Taylor’s expression.
😂😂
The embarrassment is Trump giving any medals out since he described service members as suckers and losers. All forgotten by MAGAs of course.
They shook hands, Biden spoke to Lt. Taylor directly at that moment, they saluted, and then Biden left the stage. The moment wasn’t about him.
It is sad that you would take this moment for someone who acted with great Valor, and twist it into an insult on someone you’re politically opposed to. I suppose not a shock, though, given your icon.
@Choo_HeHimLVL3 I voted for Biden, unfortunately. What IS sad is you have your head in the sand If you can’t see he is losing it. He wandered off and had no idea what he was doing. when he is cognizant, he’s a corrupt UAW puppet. Facts!
Long overdue
First, we give out “participation awards”, now we give out medals for losing a war. 🙄
It was for saving men’s lives under open attack
@Timothy Mann OK, but i don’t see why he gets a medal for that. medals are for winners.
Joe Biden did leave soldier behind and him to after he saluted him he left!
No Democrat or republican BS, just utmost respect for the heros of America!
Killing harmless people it s not an honor remember that
@Steven Bazin Think againg
@tekkenfans4237 what ever. 377th Dustoff if you ain’t die n we ain’t fly n
That soldier saved 4 soldiers lives. Was he drafted? With the others? Because he did not start the war.
I’ll take one LT Taylor over you and every member of your dysfunctional family.
We will try to remember that, Mr. or Ms. Know-It-All.
Medal of slavery
Trump 2024
Prison sad boy waiting
Where did Bidy go?
he had suddenly got a flashback his kitchen was on fire
His spider sense told him it was vacation time, better hurry.
He is going to buy some ice creams
Over 50 years ago. Biden propaganda.
interesting that this new channel did not continue showing the feed after the looney president walks off the stage leaving the Hero to just stand there by himself.
I grew up in Hawaii (go! 25th infantry division) my best friend dad gave me my first beer! These guys are my heroes! I enlisted in 79😂
Snake Drivers were cool. ❤
I want to hear more of this. Of the men who lived because of him and what they did with their lives. Also, what a contradiction to Biden draft dodger and who abandoned ppl in Afghanistan.
It was Trump who dodged the draft. 😉
@Kars Kirai Trump is a billionaire who runs gambling halls and all that entails. Both Biden and Trump represent evils. But leaving ppl to die in Afghanistan then giving a medal to this man? No wonder he was uncomfortable and fled early.
A hero!
Why didn’t they show Joe walking off and leaving the poor guy standing there…..He deserved better. Thank You Larry Taylor for your service.
@Marié telléz
This isn’t hate. Joe Biden literally walked off the stage in the middle of the ceremony.
And please quit pretending you are against hate with this political BS. Are you so blinded by politics that you want to keep a demented man as the most powerful person on Earth? As the person with his finger on the button?
Let me be clear, I am not a fan of any party. I hate politics over people, and over logic. But right now Democrats have gone off the rails. They are working so hard to pretend they are offended when they are actually just playing a political game they don’t know the consequences of.
Because you have a lying press directed by corporate owners trying to swing the electorate in order to retain leftist power for themselves.
@Marié tellézBAHAHAHAHA!!! Yes. He’s an outstanding incoherent fool😂
They shook hands, Biden spoke to Lt. Taylor directly at that moment, they saluted, and then Biden left the stage. The moment wasn’t about Biden, so he had no more purpose on the stage.
@Choo_HeHimLVL3
That’s not the way it’s done. Not the way it’s ever done.
Show me a video of another President doing this.
why took the military so long to recognize this true hero!?
Somebody has to start the process. The soldiers that he saved did several years ago as explained in the video I saw. Then the army conducts an investigation which in this case resulted in the awarding of the medal. I’m sure you’re aware than in many cases the witnesses are dead, data is missing or no one reports the incident. I’ve read of cases where the branch, often the Army, is recalcitrant to conduct an investigation for reasons known to a few officers only, and someone is denied. I’ll have to leave it at that.
Why did biden walk out just after presentation.
he saw a little girl in the back of the room that he needed to play with
Might miss his million dollar vacation flight to DE for a day.
President Biden walked-off the stage, leaving the recipient disheartened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sK6WaQd4_MM
Vote #Presidentjoe2024
God bless President Biden 🙏🏽💙🇺🇸💯💯🌊💙
God bless USA
That what I was saying when he wondered off the stage right in the middle of the ceremony. God bless this poor old fool.
*Secret War enters chat*
Why did Biden just walk off the podium and leave the guy just standing there halfway through the ceremony???
WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM ????
@big6142 Watch The whole video from another news source. Not the edited sheep news source
Biden f’ed up on this one, but he’s still going to be your president again next year. Keep coping.
@Leo Thanks much!!
It’s a little thing called “dementia”…
@Leo Because NEWS are paid to show us only what THEY WANT US TO SEE AND HEAR. They are hypocrites and liars.
But Joe walks off and doesn’t even stay till the end.. a total disgrace this president is
Not half as bad as the authoritarian cartoon character and traitor to the constitution donald trump.
Trump referred to US Marines buried in a WWI cemetery in France as “losers” and “suckers” for getting KIA’d.
@Spike Spiegel who’s the president? We know he forgets every day but what’s your excuse?
Joe had more important things to do like keeping his worthless son outa prison….
@Dan Cunningham
Thank God no looting, rioting and burning on almost a nightly basis.
Be thankful for what you have.
Yeah, and we’re making friends with these viet commies 😂
Jill wasn’t there to rein him in.
Thank you for your service sir! You are a hero to the US! On the stage it shows a hero and a loser. They didn’t show how Biden just left the stage, leaving our hero left alone. Guess it was past his nap time.
Must admit… Oh no Sloppy Joe gonna ruin this with ” in Scranton I was a helicopter pilot during Civil War ” t.y. Lord he didn’t and beautiful Story /Ceremony
Show biden walking out and leaving the man onstage by himself and the benediction wasn’t even over yet .
Yet a corrupt coward is one giving him the medal
Biden breathing down this man’s neck while being exposed to Covid.🙄
You guys didn’t show Joe just seconds later walking off stage and leaving that hero up there by himself.
Joe has left the building…… 🙄
What about the NEWS that Biden deserted this heroic veteran on the stage before the conclusion of the ceremony?!?! Leaving the bewildered veteran to wonder what is going on!! At least Biden didn’t look at his watch before leaving!! 😡😡😡😡
edited out Joey baby leaving this hero on stage.
As expected of this channel. Skipping the part where potato chief wandered off. 😂
Old Joe just walked off and left that Hero standing there.
Show the rest of the footage you slimy liars.
You have to love how the democrat propaganda machine…I mean NBC didn’t mention Joe wondering off stage right in the middle of the ceremony.
Biden left early because he saw a 6yr old girl that he needed to to feel
Larry Taylor thank for your service, as for NBC, nice cover up of Joe Biden walking off stage dazed and confused.
Joe flips voters every day and in every way.
Where is the rest of the story, where Biden walks off the stage before the ceremony is over? Total disrespect!
Capt. Larry Taylor thank for your service, you are a true American hero. NBC, learn from this man, be honest in your reporting and show Joe Biden awkwardly walking off stage in the middle of the ceremony like a buffoon.
They’re propagandists. They’re job is to mind control people. This is honest to them. They’re honestly manipulating people into supporting the elites.
I loved when the hero said
“we never left anyone behind” unlike Biden with Afghanistan.
@Eddie Boggsthings were already in motion, this administration messed it all up by going back on our word. The government and trump gave the taliban their word and Biden and the government broke it. That’s why they got mad, that’s why they seized everything instantly.
@Eddie Boggsno I wouldn’t, because trump actually talked to the taliban and worked out a deal.
@Misanthropic Servitor of Mars
Still sore that Biden won?
Biden just fulfilled the deal.
@eddieboggs8306 Biden commited murder when he fulfilled the deal.
Try saying what you said to the goldstar families that lost loved ones because of Biden the dictator.
Biden is a disgrace, walking off stage before the ceremony was finished, this man doesn’t care about anything but himself, this is a looking at his watch constantly moment.
Shouldn’t this say “Joe Biden walks out in the middle of Medal of Honor ceremony, effectively spitting in the face of an American hero”
How can you omit the part when Biden literally turns his back on this hero? He just walks off the stage before the ceremony was over! NBC, YOU ARE REPULSIVE for running interference for this criminal President.
It’s funny that NBC didn’t show the full video of the incoherent pResident walking off into the yonder in the middle of the ceremony🤣🤣🤣 and then you wonder why people call you sheep🤣
Some say that Biden is still walking away even now, and the police are looking. Coming to a milk carton near you any day now.
Thank you for your service Larry Taylor! God bless you!
,😂
Who are you laughing at??? Give your name….. identity yourself,unless you’re a complete coward ,what’s your name?
@Adam Mitchell Okey, wonderful 😘
Watch the full Video, Capt. Larry Taylor deserved better than what Biden gave him.
Distgusting to all Vets
If he was any kind of Brave USA Hero he would not accept a medal from a traitor. or he would have spit on it and thrown it to the ground !!!
NO MENTION OF THE DOTARD IN CHIEF TURNING HIS BACK ON THE HERO AND WANDERING OFF.
Joe should be very ashamed of himself and anyone that thinks he is fit to lead this country is as delusional as he is
Note: Coward Joe Biden received FIVE draft deferments and did not serve in the Vietnam War.
Thank you Lester for highlighting the fact that Biden just walks off the stage leaving that hero to stand there by himself, disgraced.
That’s Biden walking away from the American people. Biden =💩
Have to love how the Democrats ignore the truth. Biden walked out like a lost confused senile puppy…or puppet. 81,000,000 Americans voted for the China-owned puppet.
And Biden disgraced the Hero by walking out of the ceremony before its benediction and official closing, leaving the man standing alone on stage. Is it sheer disrespect or dementia???
Nightly news forgot to add the part where this mummy just walks out confused as always…smh 😂
SICK! Joe Biden Abruptly Walks Out of Medal of Honor Ceremony Before the Closing Benediction – Humiliates Recipient
Their bravery & sacrifice shaped this Country, I hope today’s snowflakes listen and learn.
They didn’t show the part were Biden walked out mid ceremony
It was cleverly edited to make it about the war hero
They wanted a different focus
It was so disrespectful for delusional Joe Biden to walk out before the ceremony was over…What an embarrassment!!
This video proves that it’s not about age it about his mental capacity! The veteran didn’t look bewildered..
You left out where G.I. Joe Biden walks off stage before the ceremony was over. I 😂
Many thanks to Captain Taylor for his great service to our nation. In addition to The President walking off before the ceremony was complete, I noticed two things that should never happen at one of these ceremonies
First, if someone is chosen to read an official citation of The Medal of Honor they will always be asked to say correctly the word intrepidity. This woman mispronounced it all three times and that is unacceptable at that level of such an important event. She actually pronounced it differently all three times and all were wrong. I grant that it is a difficult word to pronounce and one we hardly ever use in everyday speech. Yet, those choosing the people who are going to read the citation at the official presentation ceremony at The White House should be aware of this and should make sure the person chosen to read it, is briefed and will pronounce it correctly. Messing it up sounds so uneducated and falls short of the honor being bestowed on the recipient. Also, the President was out of sync with the official citation as he said when, at the time, Lt. Taylor went on fake gun runs with his spotlight to fool the enemy he was out of ammo. According to the citation he was low, but still had some left and used it in the rescue.
NBC = Bootlicking propaganda apologists for the federal government. Show what the coward did to the hero.
Not a word by Lester as the the horrific insult of Biden strolling out before the conclusion of a Medal of Honor ceremony
Would Trump even have shown up ?
Would he have had his VP to award the medal while he headed for the golf course? Wonder. He was no saint or perfect either.
to bad this hero had to recieve this from the worst and most disrespectful pos in history……he walked out in middle of the ceremony
What a gentleman
He saved those men
hope next time try to have a complete picture what has had transpired during the ceremony considering the presence of US Pres Biden !😮😮😮
What a stud. Biden is a clown
Sorry you had to let that pos put the medal on. Any president pre 9/11 would have been a better choice
They cut the part out that shows Joe abruptly leaving before the ceremony ended.
What the H*ll was that?? I know Fake News won’t show the whole ceremony but we know the truth!! NBC, your boss walked off the stage in a daze before the ceremony was over and left the real hero on stage by himself?? I mean, no one wanted to listen to Ol’ Joe speak but shouldn’t have Ol’ Joe waited on stage until someone came up to escort the Hero off stage?? After all, Larry Taylor is retired and here his mental state was better then the President of the United States!! How disrespectful, weird, and embarrassing was that??
It’s notable that nbc national news made no mention of how Biden awkwardly just walked off stage leaving Taylor standing on the stage by himself not knowing what to do next. I don’t care if you’re a democrat or republican, you have to admit that Biden has very few of his marbles left.
look at the deceptive way they end the segment- no hint that biden walked off
But I’m very sorry to see that your Commander in Chief left you behind. He must have heard the ice cream truck or had another accident.
Because NEWS are paid to show us only what THEY WANT US TO SEE AND HEAR. They are hypocrites and liars.
They shook hands, Biden spoke to Lt. Taylor directly at that moment, they saluted, and then Biden left the stage. The moment wasn’t about Biden, the stage was Lt. Taylors.
@Choo_HeHimLVL3 Then why was the press and everyone else stunned genius?
i guess Biden walking off the stage wasn’t important news for NBC or MSNBC,just keep covering for your buddy
Joe walked off early. Very disrespectful
Wait!! Classic left media. 😂 you forgot to show Biden walking off stage after this moment in a total rude daze leaving the Vet stunned and shocked as Biden’s dementia or utter rudeness left the Vet stranded. I ask you news reporter, where is that footage??
I always thought america was lk Larry but exactly the opposite.
Too bad our President couldn’t stay for the whole thing🙄
The reason they gave was ridiculous too
You know if Trump walked off they would show the whole ceremony on Nbc and talk for days about the disgrace. But Biden, they are covering for his incompetence. NBC is no longer a reliable news source. Their Bias is so shameful.
Capt. Larry Taylor; the person that should be the President of the United States, myself, recognizes the extreme sacrifice you, and millions about the Americans make on a daily basis. Do not let the actions of politicians detract from the honor you all deserve. Salute 🫡! To the American public: you need to manage the politicians that you hire on a daily basis. They work for you and you make sure that they know you are their managers by contacting them. We probably should’ve never been in most of these wars to begin with. When the young men and women of this nation are fed propaganda and feel compelled, because of that, to serve, they should be recognized for what they thought they were trying to do. it is the parents to make sure that their children are used correctly because when you’re a young adult, you’re easily susceptible to being manipulated mentally by older adults.
“He refused to leave Americans behind” maybe our government and big business could learn something from him..but because of $$$, unlikely, those beachfront estates and yachts are expensive!! 👃🇺🇸
He would be such a better President than Biden.
Thank you for your service and for saving those four men all those years ago! You deserve the Metal of Honor!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvY2ZBHxuIw There’s a reason why ” We never lost a Man”
“What are they gonna do, send me to Vietnam?” Legend 😂.
Wow just walked off and left him standing there in front of everyone with no idea what to do next. Didn’t even bother to check his watch this time. These tiresome displays are mainly to placate and fool the simple-minded masses anyway, right joe? You must have had better things to do with your time.
