ChInA Joe swears in to become President Joe (Jinping) at about 4 hours 47min into CSPAN’s coverage

He is using an ear piece!!!! Watch on C-span @ ~3.5 hours in, as Joe Biden enters the capitol building he DOES NOT SALUTE the Marines standing there. Instead as he enters the building he says “Salute the Marines.” Wow, just wow.
