President Biden told a series of cringe-worthy jokes about his Irish ancestry to mark St. Patrick’s Day, cracking that he’s surprised his distant Irish relatives aren’t “in jail” and that he’s “really not Irish” because he doesn’t drink alcohol.
The 80-year-old president, who is roughly five-eighths Irish, made the seemingly stereotype-laden attempts at humor***
“I’ve been to Ireland many times, but not to actually look up, to find my actual family members. And there are so many — and they actually weren’t in jail,” Biden said to scattered laughs as he recalled a six-day visit in which he met his relatives.
“There’s still a place called Finnegan’s pub… that’s related to my family,” the president went on.
“I’m the only Irishman you ever met though that’s never had a drink, so I’m OK. I’m really not Irish.” ***
At one point in his remarks Friday, Biden recounted meeting a corrupt Scranton political leader named “Paddy” as a child — noting humorously that the crooked pol always did what he said he would do.
Paddy was like “a late [Chicago] Mayor Daley, you know, brother-in-law on the payroll kind of thing,” Biden recalled — just a day after House Republicans released bank-record information on Biden family income from China to Hunter and James Biden, presidential daughter-in-lawn Hallie Biden and also an unnamed Biden. *** You’re wondering why I like Paddy?” Biden’s grandfather supposedly said.
“He said…. let me tell you something, ‘He’d looked at you say, ‘Ambrose. I’m going to cut your heart out.’ And you know he’d mean it,” the president recalled.
“Or, ‘Ambrose, I’m going to jump off the bridge for you.’ Whatever he said, he’d do — just remember, do what you say. Do what you say.” ***

Not yet.
Child: Mommy, Grandpa Biden is saying crazy things again. Make him stop.
There must be a reason why he has no relatives in jail. Like his son for instance.
There must be a reason why he himself isn’t a registered child sex offender in jail.
Hmm. I wonder what these reasons are. They’ll come to me in a minute.
As one-liners go, that’s really not that bad... and it’s funny.
People are far too serious nowadays and can’t take a joke..
You can’t even get away with a good blond joke anymore...
He’s so funny. Would anyone, even he, say such a derogatory nasty generalization about any other nationality?
No. Just the Irish.
He’s too stupid to be Irish.
The Bee does it again.
Are his cheesy stories believed by anyone?
RE: cringe-worthy jokes
Why? He spouts off about poor children being practically equal to the smarter white children, Obama a miracle of a black man without a criminal record running for office and dozens more.
He just says what he believes when he feels like it, more and more unfiltered due to dementia.
If the Left is “cringing” then they should be on their knees apologizing to us and asking our forgiveness for their evil in putting him into office in a fraudulent election.
No, I don’t forgive them.
I can take a joke. I’m Irish. I’m sober and I don’t have relatives in jail. That’s not a funny statement.
No comment on the 3rd world ferals descending on Ireland. Ireland right now is undergoing a “migrant” invasion even though they’re an island.
Just remember folks, this is the best and brightest the
Democrats had to front for Obama turd term.
What do you call four blondes at a four way stop intersection??????
Impeach Biden.
If he drank, he’d kill that last brain cell.
We’ll see how long that’s true.
“Too bad that Corn Pop didn’t get the better of him.”
Amen to that. The world would be a far better place.
