(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.
Oh my God. This is mortifying.
The rest of the world is either face palming or pointing and laughing. I have never been so horrfied with the state of my country, or so scared for its existence.
I’ve only just turned 34, and it’s been going down since I was a kid. The first time I was ashamed of my country (or rather its leader) was when Clinton was caught with Monica, and I was about ten. We were reading, “TIME for Kids” in class, and it was mentioned.
I’m now ashamed with what’s probably a solid quarter of the population who is so dumb they call themselves Communists or Socialists. Most are teaching GenZ, and until they’re taught otherwise, things will only worsen.
STFU Joe, their food is getting cold.
This is so sad. So cruel to have a dementia patient make a fool out of himself publicly this way. Shame on “Dr.” Jill. A loving wife would not have let her husband with dementia run for office of any kind, let alone POTUS. She was all on board, encouraging it. Sorry, no sympathy for her.
Mebbe Doc is that guy Bugs Bunny keeps talking to.
Did he release a prolonged and noisy afflatus or shart himself this time?
That wasn't a mumble, that was "trmplninazure."
“Now where am I supposed to go?”
Why go to hell Brandon.
“I promise. I’m coming. I’m coming.”
Oh jeez!
I talked to a electronic bot with similar thinking skills two weeks ago about my Lands End order.
He did. Can’t remember where I saw it, but he most certainly tied in his remarks to glorify Beau again
I am beyond being embarrassed by this racist old fool. Hairass is an idiot but at least she knows what day it is.
Hairass at least knows what day it is. She also might could be reasoned with. There is no possible way she could be worse. She might, as did the Clintdog, move to the middle to save her career. Biden is like the talking head in the novel That Hideous Strength.
Joe needs to go, and all the Shitbama holdovers he brought in with him.
Wow, gives Grandpa Simpson a run for his money.
No mention of Beau? There goes another decade. Those who have dealt with this know what I mean. Slip-slidin’ away.
Dementia Joe freakin’ loves this gag “I’m Jill Biden’s husband, Joe Biden,” but, like him, it’s incredibly lame. It’s a ripoff of JFK’s “I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris.” JFK’s line was funny and self-deprecating and also had a kernel of truth. Jackie K. was an international style icon who commanded the attention of the public and paparazzi wherever she went. Biden’s gag fall flat because no one outside of the Biden household gives a crap about Jill Biden.
“Don’ worry, folks. Don’ worry. I’ll get it right on Valentine Day. I’ll tell everyone ‘bout all the wonderful turkeys I served today. Howzat?”
EVERYONE THAT VOTED FOR THIS MORON NEEDS TO DO PENANCE!
