After responding to accusations that Trump plans to end birthright citizenship, Biden switched the subject to attacking journalists.
“I may be the oldest president, but I know more world leaders than any of you have ever met in your damn life!” Biden said.
Some X users were quick to blast the comment.
“He’s good guys,” joked journalist Salena Žito.
Conservative communicator Steve Guest commented: “What a bitter person.”
“This is Washington credentialism in a nutshell. Politicians become ‘qualified’ just by existing. It doesn’t matter that Biden is an absolute failure and the worst foreign policy figure in American history. Look, he knows a lot of people, and that’s all that matters,” wrote a RedState writer Bonchie.
Conservative CNN commentator Scott Jennings quipped, “The most decent, pious, devout Catholic president we’ve ever had.”
Biden has attacked the press throughout his tenure, sometimes attacking reporters with reporters themselves.
In November Biden mocked the reporter asking him if he could broker a hostage deal between Hamas and Israel before leaving office.
“President Biden, do you think we can reach a hostage deal by the end of your term?” asked the Israeli Channel 13 correspondent.
