A protester who appeared to be armed was spotted approaching President Joe Biden’s Delaware home by a journalist and Secret Service on Sunday morning, according to a White House pool report.
“The individual expressing his constitutional rights had no impact on any of the Secret Service’s protectees’ movements," the Secret Service said in a statement.
The protester carried two signs which referenced the business dealings of Biden’s son Hunter, according to the pool report. House Republicans launched an impeachment inquiry last week into allegations that the president was involved in his son’s work prior to assuming office in 2021.
Biden was at the Rehoboth Beach residence when the protestor began walking up the street around noon on Sunday. Around 1:18 p.m., the president's motorcade drove past the protestor on the way to a Delaware Air National Guard base to helicopter back to Washington, D.C.
Just after 1:30 p.m., Biden boarded Marine One. The departure was previously scheduled.
Delaware is an open carry state, according to the Giffords Law Center.
