Democrat President Joe Biden was met with loud booing from crowds on Friday during his luxury vacation in Lake Tahoe on the West Coast.
According to the White House, the Bidens are renting a lavish $18 million mansion during their stay.
The home belongs to environmental activist, businessman, and former Democrat presidential candidate Tom Steyer.
The White House claims Biden is renting the property at a fair market value for a nine-day vacation.
The vacation comes following Biden’s disastrous trip to Hawaii to survey damage from the recent devastating wildfires.
Biden was also slammed by Hawaiians over his response to the fires, as Slay News reported.
The reception for Biden hasn’t been much better in Lake Tahoe either.
A video has been spreading on social media that shows Biden approaching the press and speaking about economic issues as a gathered crowd of onlookers jeered.
“I’ve been talking to the UAW. Obviously, I’m concerned,” he said to a member of the press in the video, at times being drowned out by the shouting.
“I think that there should be a circumstance where the jobs that are being displaced and replaced with new jobs, the first choice should go to the UAW members who had the jobs, and the salary should be commensurate.”
The footage of Biden being booed was a point of humor and vindication for many Biden critics.
“Good- he deserves it,” Fox News contributor Liz Peek wrote.

Biden’s vacation in the area also made headlines when the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) scrambled fighter jets to intercept an aircraft nearby.
It was detected within the temporarily restricted area.
“Two NORAD F-16 fighter aircraft and a U.S. Coast Guard MH-65 Dolphin responded to a civilian aircraft that violated a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) area near Lake Tahoe, Nevada, this morning,” NORAD wrote in a statement.
“During this event, the fighter aircraft dispensed flares — that may have been visible to the public — to gain attention from the pilot. Flares were employed with the highest regard for the safety of the intercepted aircraft and people on the ground,” the statement added.
