‘Civil, Decent, And Devoutly Catholic’: Biden Scorched For Lashing Out, Cursing At Reporters

President Joe Biden received some backlash on Sunday after video circulated of him lashing out and cursing at reporters, claiming that he’d met more powerful world leaders than any of them had.

“I might be the oldest president, but I know more world leaders than any one of you have ever met in your whole g**d**n life,” Biden snapped.

Biden has made similar remarks in the past, once calling a female college student a “lying dog-faced pony soldier” at a campaign event and calling Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy a “son of a b***h” for daring to ask a question about inflation.

Critics pointed to the moment, saying that it was really nothing new for Biden to lash out in anger at reporters or people with whom he was frustrated.

“Biden has been an arrogant jerk his entire political career. None of this is new. His severe dementia just makes it harder for him to mask what an awful person he actually is,” The Federalist’s Sean Davis posted in response.

“This is the real Biden they’ve tried to hide from you for years. Short tempered, vindictive, petty. He’s not really this sweet grandpa. Though that’s the image the White House pushes outwardly,” one former adviser to Health and Human Services nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. remarked.

“It was just a few short months ago that the entire media was saying that questions about Biden’s age and mental fitness were ‘conspiracy theories’ and ‘cheap fakes.’ It’s so wonderful and positive that the media is so dedicated to helping their political party,” journalist Ian Miller said.

“There’s this instinct among Democratic leaders to point to stats rather than results on foreign policy. Hillary bragged of the number of miles she traveled as Secretary of State. Biden brags of the number of hours he spent with Xi or whatever. Um ok, who cares? You did a bad job!” author Jerry Dunleavy added.
