President Biden thanked first responders with an awkward phone call into the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Thursday that provided some cringeworthy TV for viewers of the annual parade.
From the Massachusetts island home of private-equity billionaire David Rubenstein, the president and first lady Jill Biden engaged in a call that started with a lengthy and uncomfortable silence as NBC’s Dylan Dryer, on scene at the parade, seemed unable to hear the pair for about 30 seconds.
“I’m not one to take a phone call during TV, but I think I should answer this one,” Dreyer said.
“Hello, Mr. President?” the reporter said.
But no one answered as Jill Biden could faintly be heard in the background after seconds of dead air and confusion.
