Joe Biden Makes “Joke” About People Thinking He’s Stupid, Calls For Nonexistent Congressman “Doug” Four Times (VIDEO)
The jokes just simply write themselves. Biden actually thought he was being clever poking fun at his critics for “underestimating” his intelligence before proving them right again.
The Dolt from Delaware on Thursday gave a press conference in Springfield, Virginia filled with his usual prevarications about the economy and Republicans. Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA), who represents Springfield in Congress, was in attendance.
Biden makes his so-called joke and looks around for Beyer. He proceeds to forget Beyer’s name, calling him “Doug.”
WATCH:
Biden: I, uh, I said that, uh, when I was seeking the nomination, I said take a seat everybody! And there wasn’t a single chair in the place. They said that Biden really is stupid.
Where’s Doug? (long confused pause) Congressman? (pause) He’s around here somewhere.
Later in the speech, he tries to address Beyer again. He fails a second time.
Biden then calls Rep. Beyer “Doug” a fourth time before stopping. He never actually remembers Beyer’s real name, however. From the New York Post:
“Doug knows, Do —,” Biden said haltingly, before launching into an attack on House Republicans, claiming: “Look, here’s the deal … They want to cut your Social Security and Medicare. Now, this is the God’s truth. It’s almost unbelievable.”
