Ben Shapiro Torches Biden As He Finally Leaves DC In Helicopter

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro absolutely torched former President Joe Biden as his helicopter lifted up and finally flew away from Washington, D.C. 

In a post on X from The Daily Wire’s coverage of Trump’s historic inauguration, Shapiro was joined by fellow Daily Wire hosts Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, and Andrew Klavan as the panel watched and waved goodbye to Biden following his departure from Trump’s second inauguration ceremony where he once again was sworn-in as President of the United States.

The video started out with a two-shot of Biden’s helicopter taking off from the Capitol in one shot, and the panel of DW hosts in the other.

Michael Knowles waved and said, simply, “See ya.” But it was Shapiro who had the line of the day with his farewell to Biden. 

“Wow, the last time a helicopter took off from this kind of a disaster was Vietnam,” the DW host said.

The video continued to show the helicopter in the distance as it flew on its way to Joint Base Andrews, where Biden made a few comments to supporters before he boarded Air Force One for the last time.

DW hosts also posted images and posts on their social media accounts saying goodbye to the ex-president.

Knowles shared a smiling selfie from D.C. and captioned his post, “Bye, Joe!”

Shapiro wrote, “Today ends the darkness of the failed Biden era. The dawn is here. #Trump2.”

The Daily Wire’s co-founder Jeremy Boreing said that the “next four years are ours to seize. Seize them!”

“Today America starts the messy work of retiring at last the Obama Era,” Boreing wrote. “I say messy, because this isn’t going to be some light switch flip to utopia. Politics is not clean and simple.”

“Battles are won, but the war never ends,” he added. “There will be failures, compromises, and disappointments — and many new challenges we must face when today’s are overcome.  Donald Trump, like any Republican leader, will be a mixed bag.” 

“But you know who wouldn’t have been a mixed bag? Kamala Harris,” Boreing continued. She was just a bag. Trump’s victory alone is a deep blow to Obama’s legacy. And his victories, while they will not be absolute or perfect, are just beginning. He comes to office clearly energized, having learned from the successes and failures (and unrelenting attacks) of the last eight years. “
