President Biden met Pope Francis at the Vatican on Friday, giving him a presidential "command coin."
Biden joked that if the Pope didn't have it the next time they met, he'll "have to buy the drinks."
"I'm the only Irishman you've ever met who's never had a drink," Biden added.
President Joe Biden met with Pope Francis at the Vatican on Friday, presenting him with a presidential command coin while telling the religious leader that he's the "only Irishman you've ever met who's never had a drink."
Biden, like former President Donald Trump, does not drink alcohol.
"I'm not sure if this is appropriate, but there's a tradition in America," Biden began, speaking with the Pope through a translator. "The president has what is called a 'command coin' that he gives to warriors and leaders."
"And you are the most significant warrior for peace I've ever met," he told the Pope. "And with your permission, I'd like to be able to give you a coin."
Biden then presented the coin to Francis, pointing out the US Seal on the front and the emblem for the 261st Signal Brigade unit in the Delaware Army National Guard that Biden's son, Beau, served in on the back. "I know my son would want me to give this to you," he said.
"Now the tradition is, and I'm only kidding about this," Biden said as he put the coin into the Pope's hand. "If next time I see you and you don't have it, you have to buy the drinks."
"I'm the only Irishman you've ever met who's never had a drink," he quickly added, to which the Pope responded through his translator that Irish people "love whiskey."
"I know that!" Biden exclaimed.
Biden's comment to Pope Francis about being" The only Irishman who has never had a drink" is hate speech. Obama's comment, as POTUS, about the "Paddy Wagon" was also hate speech. The ignorance of their " jovial" slurring of the Irish people is astounding and appalling. When representing our nation, they should keep their snide comments to themselves.
ReplyDeleteIt’s not. Self deprecating humor. We Irish thrive on it. Don’t be so “woke”. It’s ok to laugh at yourself.
DeleteTwo other pathetic Irish are Kelly-Burke and Cunningham who voted present on the abortion vote.
ReplyDeleteWhy?
DeleteTo vote present is to vote yea. They are abortionist.
Delete2 people who have never worked a day in they're lives. Living out of someone elses pockets.
ReplyDeleteNo he didn’t. Now who’s crying “woke”. Gimme a break. I didn’t vote for the guy, but this is bulllshit attention grabbing pseudo journalism.
ReplyDeleteshut up democrat or rino either way your a turd
DeleteGo back to your stool at Hinky Dinks.
DeleteOhhhh, that's just Joooooe.
ReplyDeleteJagoff Joe, that is.
Biden could have filled that 90 minute meeting in a confessional, but everything he would have confessed to would have been bullshit and lies, just like everything he's said and done for the past 50 years. His handlers are busting our balls with all the ridiculous things they're releasing to the media. It'd be great if some of the networks would get the nitty gritty on how much Biden skimmed and shook down from his Quid Pro Joe days which continue
ReplyDeleteLightfoot pulled the ambulance out of 111th street
ReplyDeletealong with the one at 81st and Kedzie.
Good Luck if you need one
This is your punishment
Biden is being quite pretentious if he believes the challenge coin given to the Pope is important to him.
