President Joe Biden managed to make it through his heavily hyped State of the Union address without a nationally televised killer gaffe but more than made up for it with a hot mic moment after he was done.
The geriatric leader was pumped up with rage and possibly plenty of pharmaceuticals for his angry diatribe and delivered the goods for his fans with a dark and divisive rant. But he once again showed that things aren’t good between him and the leader of one of America’s most important allies.
It’s no secret that Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s relationship is on the rocks over the ongoing anti-terrorist operation in Gaza and things aren’t likely to improve after he was caught boasting about a “come to Jesus” talk with his Jewish counterpart.

“I told him, Bibi — don’t repeat this — you and I are going to have a come to Jesus meeting,” a raspy Biden said.
In the footage, Biden is seen speaking with a group of men including Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg when he made his candid remarks about Bibi, an embarrassing moment that went viral at a time of delicate international negotiations over the bloody crisis.
An aide then whispered to Biden who is then heard saying, “I’m on a hot mic here. Good. That’s good.”
The video quickly went viral on social media, drawing a strong response from X users with some noting the disrespectful nature of such a reference to a person of the Jewish faith.
That’s pretty disrespectful to Jewish people

Imagine saying that to a Jewish person.

The old idiot starts whispering to tell a secret because he forgot he was on a hot mic
He’s totally fine, though

When Biden said he told Bibi Netanyahu that the two were going to have a “Come to Jesus Moment,” was that anti-Semitic?

On Friday, as his undiplomatic remarks were making news, the loose-lipped leader blamed it on reporters.
“You guys eavesdropping on things.”

Israel’s war on Hamas is causing major problems for Biden who is facing a mutiny from the terrorist sympathizers and antisemites in his base, especially from “Squad” member Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) who led a protest against him in the recent primary in which over 100,000 Michigan Democrats voted “uncommitted” as a message to get with the program on a ceasefire.
There have also been reports that Biden has been overheard cursing Netanyahu in private, allegedly referring to him as an “assh*le” on multiple occasions and a “bad f**king guy” on another.
