(CNSNews.com) - President and Mrs. Biden attended a "friendsgiving" celebration at Fort Bragg on Monday evening, giving brief remarks before the meal was served.
First lady Jill Biden spoke first, then introduced her husband, who joked, "I'm Jill Biden's husband Joe Biden, as you can see. I continue to follow her." (Indeed he does follow her. At the conclusion of Joe's remarks, he wondered "where am I supposed to go?" looking to his wife for direction. More on that below.)
Evidently at a loss without prepared remarks, Biden told the troops about his wife -- and Valentine's Day. The anecdote fell flat.
Here's what he said, straight from the White House transcript:
I’m Jill Biden’s husband, Joe Biden, as you can see. I continue to follow her.
I just want you to know: When we first were elected Vice President, there was a moment where on — her favorite day of the year is Valentine’s Day, Doc. And on Valentine’s Day — there is the Old Executive Office Building; it’s directly across from the White House and the Vice — the West Wing and the Vice President’s Office. And you can look in the windows there, and the press comes down those stairs all the time.
And so, she went and got a ladder. My schoolteacher wife, my professor — got a ladder. And the windows are 16-feet high with all these panes. And at every pane, she put a — she got that stuff you use — the kids use when they’re making posters in school, and she put on a heart. And it said, “Joe loves Jill.” She did it on all five windows — four windows across.
So, the press called and said — would I do Valentine’s Day with the — on ABC. And I said, “Okay.”
And I got on, and we’re getting ready to do the event. And what happened was — they had the lights out, and we were knee to knee with the reporter who was asking the questions. And at the (mumble), she says — while we’re getting ready, she said, “Everybody says you and your wife have a great love affair going.” I said, “I think so.”
And she looked at me. I said — jokingly, said, “But everybody knows that I love her more than she loves me.”
And I swear to God, she looked at me and said, “That’s what everybody says.”
The story fell flat, no laughter, only a few polite smiles, so Joe moved on, thanking the warriors and their families who "stand and wait."
After several "thank-you-thank-you's," the president of the United States asked, "Now where am I supposed to go? I’m supposed to go back and — see how she points?" Biden said, referring to his wife. "Look at this: 'Get back here.' You can tell she’s a professor, can’t you? Well, I’m heading back, Jill. I promise. I’m coming. I’m coming.
"Oh, I got to introduce the chaplain," Biden said, after Jill pointed again. "The chaplain is going to say a prayer before we eat," Biden said, almost forgetting to introduce the man.
Biden Rambles On About Valentine’s Day in Visit to Troops, Then Wonders, ‘Now Where Am I Supposed to Go?’
I honestly thought this was a Babylon Bee article before it occurred to me it was way too absurd and the Bee usually sounds way too real. then I saw the source
Read about the event, but hadn’t read the transcript of his “speech” before.
Cringe.
Brandon’s lost control of his mind, and his bowels.
Pitiful. PIT-I-FUUL.
many circulating pictures thanksgiving day, one biden holding a cooked turkey in a pot and the caption is happy 4th of july, not far from the truth. Where’s pelousi screaming for a mental health test like the one she demanded for trump. She and they are despicable scum
What, no Afghanistan jokes? Beijing Biden is slipping.
This fool, clown, buffoon, Democrat, Fake Illegal POTUS, Joe Biden, is not playing with a full deck!!! Poor bastard is nothing but, an evil, cold hearted, empty suit!!! His staff worked as they could to cover up this speech...they failed!!! The military thinks this guy is a Zero!!! Now Biden only has left in his corner as rally attendees....the Secret Service. Those poor folks have no choice, they are ordered to be there!!! Americans, all, Wake up, Wise up......this guy Biden and the Bimbo he chose to be his VP must be removed from office before they both destroy the American Republic!!!
He should have opened with his Corn Pop story.
Jill must feel like an idiot putting up the FJB’s mumblings and fumblings.
OMG
“When WE were elected Vice President...”
And who’s Doc?
At least I didn’t hear any mention of Beau.
He can’t remember the name of construction paper.
Imagine Putin watching this video.
Dementia Joe hyped up on whatever drugs they give him so he is able to move around believes it’s February 3 months early. And despite proof to the contrary Democrats still think having no freedom is the best path on the covid scamdemic. I saw an article on that, “Florida Reports Lowest Daily COVID Cases Per Capita in the Country as Lockdown States See Rise in Infections”, and you can give that a look at Townhall. FL’s current wuhan number is 6 people per 100,000, while the U.S. has 124 gonorrhea and 479 chlamydia per 100,000. I’d rather have the ‘severe cold’ thanks. As for Biden, he has worn a flesh colored earpiece since 2019 and does what it tells him. Turkey for Valentine’s is a new one.
I would rather pull guard duty with a cold rain falling than be forced to be at an event with Bradon.
He told them it was pudding as he spooned it on their plates.
Surely, more than one wanted to tell him where to go.
As bad as he is we need him to stay because Harris would be worse.
They served mashed potatoes ... and his wife “Dr.” Jill.
