‘Untouchable’ Biden jokes at meeting with PM: ‘I sold a lot of state secrets, a lot of very important things’

June 27, 2023 | | Print Article

President Biden told an extremely bad joke during a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and tech CEOs on Friday, quipping that he had sold state secrets before everyone got there, getting laughs from the sycophants in attendance and groans from across the nation.

He opened the meeting by remarking to reporters, “I was just thinking, uh, uh, anyway… I started off without you, and I sold a lot of state secrets and a lot of very important things that we shared.”

Predictably, Modi, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and others somehow found that offensive barb hilarious. Biden then stated that he was just “kidding.” He proceeded to praise the technology partnership between the US and India after the joke fell flat as if nothing had happened. Unfortunately for him, it went incredibly viral.

“Now all kidding aside, look, we’re teaming up to design and develop new technologies that are going to transform the lives of our people around the world. And together, we’re lifting the private and public partners to make this possible, including launching a new program between India and America — American astronauts, Indian astronauts, and entrepreneurs, scientists, students. Simply put, our countries are taking innovation and cooperation to a new level in our relationship, and thanks in large part to the folks around this table. So my message today is really simple. We’ve got to keep it up, and we have to make sure we aim even higher,” the president bloviated.

Many seized on the remarks on social media, pointing out that Biden seems to be losing it. A clip circulated that cut off the part where Biden said he was only joking as a transcript of the days-old remark shows. Nevertheless, kidding while being under investigation for corruption seems in extremely poor taste and comes off as arrogant and as if Biden sees himself above such allegations.

It’s fairly obvious that the president was referring to accusations that the Biden family engaged in pay-to-play selling of state secrets and political influence to the communist Chinese in exchange for millions in bribes during the Obama-Biden administration.

A WhatsApp message that Hunter Biden sent out in 2017 surfaced last week as whistleblowers testified concerning the IRS and DOJ stonewalling an investigation into the first son’s business dealings with foreign entities as well as a myriad of other alleged crimes.

“I am sitting here with my father and would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled,” he reportedly wrote to the communist businessman, threatening him. “I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to hold a grudge, that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”

Hunter Biden’s attorney claims that the message was simply a result of his client’s “horrible addiction” at the time. Many are not buying that assertion.

Biden was roasted for the in-your-face joke on Twitter:
