First Lady Jill Biden has sparked outrage after she spoke at the first White House cabinet meeting in a year.
President Joe Biden convened his Cabinet on Friday for the first time since last October and was joined by the First Lady who spoke about women's health research.
In explaining her presence at the session, Biden said: 'First Ladies have attended these meetings in the past for specific reasons.
'This is the first time Jill has joined us, and it underscores the importance of the issue she's about to address', before handing over to her he added; 'It's all yours, kid'.
According to The New York Post, Biden spent much of his two minute intro talking about the first lady, who went on to speak for four and half minutes.
The outlet drew a comparison between the First Lady and Edith Wilson, who kept tight control over President Woodrow Wilson after he suffered a stroke.
This comparison was referenced online by Greg Price, who added: 'She's literally Edith Wilson except right out in the open in a 24/7 news cycle and nobody in the media cares.'
Political commentator also posted about the First Lady kicking off the meeting, posting: 'Jill Biden is kicking off the first cabinet meeting the White House has had in almost a year and we’re expected to act like this is normal.'
Steve Cortes, a previous adviser to former President Donald Trump, described Biden as looking 'visibly exhausted'.
