After responding to the allegation that Trump was considering ending birthright, Biden changed the subject to attack reporters.
“I may be the oldest president, but I know more world leaders than any of you have ever met in your entire damn life!” » Biden said.
Some X users were quick to blast the comment.
“He’s fine guys,” joked reporter Salena Zito.
Conservative broadcaster Steve Guest commented: “What a bitter person. »
“That’s Washington credibility in a nutshell. Politicians become ‘qualified’ simply by existing. It doesn’t matter that Biden is an abject failure and the worst foreign policy figure in American history. You see, he knows a lot of people, and that’s all that matters,” RedState writer Bonchie wrote.
Conservative CNN commentator Scott Jennings joked: “The most gracious, decent, devoutly Catholic president we’ve ever had.” »
