President Biden lashed out at reporters before traveling to campaign stops in Pennsylvania with Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman, then bumbled his way through several comments once he arrived.
It was a very bad day for a President struggling with convincing the American people of his competence as he campaigned for a Senate candidate struggling to convince Pennsylvania voters of the same.
CBS News reporter Weijia Jiang on Thursday noted that Fetterman was a rare outlier – a Democrat candidate who actually wants to be linked to the incredibly unpopular President.
“John Fetterman’s gonna appear with you today in Pennsylvania, but there haven’t been that many candidates campaigning with you —” Jiang said before getting cut off.
“That’s not true!” Biden said. “There’ve been 15. Count kid, count!”
Biden snaps when a reporter mentions that Democrats essentially don’t want him on the campaign trail with them.

In another exchange with pro-life EWTN White House reporter Owen Jensen, Biden again seemed to lose his patience.
Jensen asked the President if he supports “restrictions on abortion at all.”
“Yes, there should be,” he replied.
But then he contradicted that view when asked what those restrictions should be.
“It’s Roe v. Wade,” he responded. “Read it, man. You’ll get educated.”
He reached out and physically shook the hands of the reporter as he spoke.

Biden’s Day Got Worse From There
Once in Pennsylvania, Biden’s very bad day got much worse, as he bumbled and stumbled his way through his speech, not to mention in speaking with reporters afterward.
Biden, in trying to sell voters on how awesome his spending spree has been since taking office, struggled to settle on an actual number.
“I signed into law a once-in-a-generation investment,” he bragged. How much was that investment?
Why, “over a billion 200, a trillion, 200 billion dollars!”

We were going to use our pocket Biden-to-English translator to figure out this mess post-appearance with Fetterman, but it would have only had blank pages.

At the end of his speech, Biden engaged in a now-time-honored tradition of seemingly getting lost trying to get off the stage.

This has to be intentional, one would think, at this point. How is it possible that the President of the United States can’t figure out how to get off the stage after nearly every speech?
Biden also suggested Fetterman’s wife will be a “great, great lady in the Senate.”
She’s uh, she’s not running.

To be fair, Fetterman once described himself as ‘Fetterwoman,’ so perhaps with today’s Democrats unable to define what a woman is, there will be a lady in the Senate after all.

If they’re smart, the GOP is cutting ads with these two oafs campaigning together, presenting them as the face of the Democrat Party as we speak.
