Matsuyama, 29, won the Masters Tournament on Sunday at Georgia’s Augusta National Golf Club.

“Yoshi, I know how proud you are — the people of Japan are — and you’ve got a Japanese boy coming over here and guess what? He won the Masters. He won the Masters. He won the green jacket,” Biden said in the Rose Garden.

To be fair, this moron was almost 50 when Hideki was born. Most living men seem like boys to him,

In 2019, Biden apologized for using the term ‘boy’ during a fundraiser.

‘I do understand the consequence of the word ‘boy’’ Biden told MSNBC’s Al Sharpton after speaking at the South Carolina Democratic Party’s convention.

It’s an odd compliment, and not a racist slur, when uttered by a Democrat. Screw the MSM!

Perhaps we can convince Japan to drop atomic bombs on a couple Democrat cities and in fifty years they’ll look as good as Hiroshima.

Bluecheck Twitter would have soiled itself and demanded a third impeachment if Trump had done this.

“And those slanty eyes didn’t hurt his putting one bit”.

When "Fightin' Joe" was in the Senate 120 years ago and went to fight the Pacific war against the Japs, he personally took on the champion of the Japs, Tofu Pop, in a sumo match.

Though many of Fightin' Joe's Senate buddies died at the hands of the hated Japs, Joe learned to forgive and forget, even complimenting one of those Nip boys this week.

IF Trump has said this, the media, the libs, the woke soy boys, etc. would be screaming “racist!!!” from the rooftops.
But pedeJoe ALWAYS gets a “pass”. Libs are sick in the head.

Were Biden’s nose and fingers twitching during the statement?
