Another day, another headline-making moment for Joe Biden.
Just 24 hours after calling Donald Trump’s supporters “garbage” during a virtual Harris-Walz campaign event with Latino voters, the 81 year old was nibbling on the legs and feet of babies attending a White House Halloween party.
On Thursday’s show, Megyn was joined by Stu Burguiere, host of Stu Does America, and Stephen L. Miller, host of Versus Media, to discuss awkward moments and the state of the Biden presidency.
Eating the… Babies?
Biden and First Lady Jill Biden welcomed local students, military brats, and families to the South Lawn of the White House for trick-or-treating on Wednesday. The 81 year old greeted many of his costumed guests and was seen playfully biting at least two of the youngest attendees.
Biden was photographed placing his mouth around the leg of one child who was dressed up as a chicken (above). He also nibbled on the toes of a toddler who was wearing an ice cream cone outfit (below), perhaps as a nod to his go-to snack.
Both children were being held by the mothers and neither seemed to mind the attention from the commander in chief.
Biden’s Behavior
On the scale of Biden’s most bizarre behavior, these interactions probably don’t rise to the top. Even so, they are hard to make sense of. “I know it is Halloween and I know they are adorable, but it is very weird,” Megyn said. “As a rule, you don’t put other people’s babies in your mouth.”
Burguiere was willing to give the president the benefit of the doubt. “To be fair to Biden, I think he may have been a little confused there,” he quipped. “He may have thought he was trying out for Is It Cake? on Netflix and he thought maybe the baby would actually be made of cake.”
While Miller acknowledged that people are “freaking out about this” online, he said it is nothing new. “This is who Joe Biden has always been… especially around kids and swearing-in ceremonies. We have always kind of seen this,” he noted. “Here is Joe Biden treating a baby like a chicken wing or whatever… At this point, you can tell Democrats are ready to be done with this.”
Ultimately, Megyn said it reinforces why Biden has largely been out of sight since stepping down as the Democratic nominee in July. “That is our current president, FYI. He doesn’t know what he is doing. He has absolutely no filter for his behavior or his mouth,” she concluded. “It is just further evidence that we have lost Biden… I am on Team Harris in her pleas that he should stay underground.”
