Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter and then took off to Africa for a few days, likely hoping that he could duck questions about the pardon.
He hasn’t quieted the controversy. He’s even being mocked by Jon Stewart and called out by folks like MSNBC’s Chuck Todd. The effort to defend him by White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was pitifully bad. She tripped all over herself as she tried to justify it.

When Biden was asked about it in Angola, his response was bizarre. He said, “Welcome to America.”

Then he made weird comments about Biden’s being like “poor relatives.”

Yes, you’ve stayed much longer than you should, and we want you to go home now. Jan. 20 can’t come soon enough.
Then, in a truly embarrassing moment, he had to be led around like a child by Angola’s president in a concerning manner.

He also took a bit to realize the hand being held out to him.
Then Biden created more controversy while he was abroad.
Biden’s announcement that he would be giving $1 billion dollars to help Africa recover from disasters infuriated many, particularly given the situation that people are enduring in places like North Carolina in the wake of Hurricane Helene.

People were furious.
🚨#BREAKING: Joe Biden announces over $1 Billion for African’s “displaced from their homes…”
Meanwhile we are literally delivering an RV to a mom and 2 year old in #WNC who were LIVING IN THEIR GARAGE because of Helene.
This is insanity.

Biden was there to talk about a rail project, among other issues. He claimed that he was the most “pro-rail” guy because he’s “ridden over 1,300,000 miles on a daily basis to my work” for 30 years.
On a daily basis? You might want to recount that, Joe. And even if you meant that it was over 30 years, it isn’t true since you were living in Virginia for part of the time and you weren’t traveling every day for the rest of the years.
Angola, country, city? Biden gets confused and has to correct himself.

He also claimed President-elect Donald Trump had been in office eight years, and had to correct it to four.
But hey, it’s Joe; it doesn’t have to make sense for the guy who’s as “sharp as a tack.”
