The commander-in-chief recently had another embarrassing moment when he joked to a group of Native Americans on Wednesday that he worries first wife Jill Biden would leave him and go to a reserve.
Biden told guests of the White House Tribal Nations Summit, which was sponsored by the Interior Department, “I’m frightened she won’t return home one of these days when she travels.”
You must believe that I’m kidding, the president continued. You know, I hear more about the Navajos than I do about myself, I’ll tell you that. Do you guys believe I’m kidding? ”
The 80-year-old Biden’s groan-worthy comment drew jeers online.
One Twitter user praised the senile family patriarch from the animated television series “The Simpsons,” saying, “The Grandpa Simpson rants are fantastic.”
“OMG! Another person said, “This dude is so friggin cringe.
The comment was seen to be culturally offensive by several commentators.
This, folks, is what racism really is, one social media user yelled. WOW! ”
Another person said, “That angered me and I’m not even native.”
Biden has attempted to make jokes about the first lady in the past, which have made listeners’ mouths drop.
At a Cinco de Mayo party in May, the president said, “I sleep with a teacher every night.”
He added, “Same one,” to the uneasy laughter from his audience.
