YouTube Description
as posted by the channelActress and disability advocate Selma Blair helped President Joe Biden salute the legacy of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act on Monday, displaying a touch of the comedic timing that made her a star in hits like “Legally Blonde” and “Cruel Intentions.”
Blair, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2018, walked together with Biden to a ceremony on the White House's south lawn with her cane and her service dog, an English Labrador named Scout. When she reached the stage, she told Scout, “down” and “good boy.”
As he laid near Biden's feet, the president started to bend over to pet Scout, but Blair looked over and said, “yeah, stay.” That caused Biden to straighten up to attention.
“I feel so powerful all of a sudden,” laughed Blair. Then indicated a handheld microphone, she said, “I don’t need this. This is for someone else, correct?” “It's for me,” Biden responded, to which Blair responded, “OK, the real guy.”
