On Friday, President Joe Biden joined shock jock Howard Stern in Manhattan for a bizarre interview on his SiriusXM radio show where the gaffe-prone and aging president claimed he was arrested during the civil rights movement, couldn’t afford healthcare for his children as a sitting United States Senator and was seen as a sex symbol – claiming women used to send him “salacious pictures” as a young Senator in Washington.
“I got put in that 10 Most Eligible Bachelors list. And a lot of lovely women … would send very salacious pictures and I just give them to the Secret Service. And I thought somebody would think I was … ,” a mumbling Biden told Stern.
At 29 years old, Biden was one of the youngest people ever elected to the United States Senate. Just weeks after his election in 1972, Biden’s wife and one-year old daughter would tragically die in a car accident – leaving his two other sons in critical condition. And it was during his time as a widow, the frail and easily confused president said that he was seen as a sex symbol with the ladies. In 1977, Biden would marry Jill in New York City.
Biden also repeated a lie that he was arrested during the civil rights movement, falsely claiming he stood alongside a black family that had recently moved into the neighborhood as neighbors angrily protested – and it was there where he was “arrested for standing on the porch with a black family.”
In 1973, Biden earned an annual salary of $42,000 as a U.S. Senator. Today, that salary is the equivalent of earning $303,000 per year – but Biden claimed that it was not enough money at the time to pay for healthcare for his two children.
“It’s why I’m so empathetic to people who need child care. I could not afford child care, even if I did move from Delaware [to Washington, DC]. I was listed for 36 years as the poorest man in the United States Congress. I never thought I was poor. I was getting a Senate salary.”
The confused president also mixed up facts, told more tall tale stories and said he’d be happy to debate Trump, prompting the 45th President of the United States to offer a reply on his Truth Social account.
“Crooked Joe Biden just announced that he’s willing to debate! Everyone knows he doesn’t really mean it, but in case he does, I say, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, ANYPLACE, an old expression used by Fighters. I suggest Monday Evening, Tuesday Evening, or Wednesday Evening at my Rally in Michigan, a State that he is in the process of destroying with his E.V. Mandate. In the alternative, he’s in New York City today, although probably doesn’t know it, and so am I, stuck in one of the many Court cases that he instigated as ELECTION INTERFERENCE AGAINST A POLITICAL OPPONENT – A CONTINUING WITCH HUNT! It’s the only way he thinks he can win. In fact, let’s do the Debate at the Courthouse tonight – on National Television, I’ll wait around!”
President Trump is beating Biden in key swing state matchups and in national polls, as Democratic operatives and White House officials remain in panic mode as Biden continues to drop in the polls.
