President Biden couldn't wait til the commercial break to flee the set of a live televised interview with MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace.
Biden granted the liberal host a rare live sit-down on Thursday, which was largely focused on his reaction to the Supreme Court's historic decision to strike down affirmative action.
After nearly 20 minutes of softball questions, Biden got up from his chair and took the scenic route off the MSNBC set, walking behind Wallace as she teased analysis of her interview to viewers.

The moment quickly went viral.

"YOU sit in the chair, YOU smile at the pretty lady, YOU stay until we come get you," Substack writer Jim Treacher quipped.

Wallace, who couldn't refrain from expressing her absolute giddiness towards Biden, asked other not-so-tough-hitting questions like whether the Supreme Court should be reformed, why former President Trump hasn't been prosecuted for his role in Jan. 6, and what the late Sen. John McCain would think of the modern day Republican Party.

What wasn't addressed was the growing scandal plaguing the president's son Hunter Biden, who just pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor tax violations and entered a pretrial diversion agreement regarding the felony gun registration charge.
