Comments to the Little Kids in Ireland Were Even Weirder Than We Thought

During one of his stops in Ireland, Biden stopped to talk with a group of kids.

But as we noted one of them asked Biden about “steps to success.” That’s when it got weird and Hunter had to help Joe out because he didn’t seem to understand what the child was asking him.

Biden’s response? “Making sure that we don’t all have COVID, why, what are you talking about?” he said to the poor kid.

Hunter had to help explain to him what the child was asking him, “key to success,” but even then Biden made a weird comment, “Whenever you disagree with someone, it’s okay to question their judgment, whether they’re right or wrong, but it’s never okay to question their motive.”

But now that the transcript of the exchange is out, we realize that the interaction was even weirder than we thought. Not to mention that Hunter had to correct him multiple times.

As this Politico guy notes, the poor stenographers who have to try to transcribe rambling old Joe. They deserve hazard pay because it’s surely not a simple job.

First, before the kid asked the question about success, there was this little bit of weirdness about young girls.

And, by the way, to all the parents, I want to thank you because, you know, being — working at an embassy, everybody thinks, back home, it’s pretty glamourous. But I don’t want — you don’t want to be around the day you got to walk home and tell your 13-year-old kid, “You’re not going back to the same school and you got to stop dating that girl you were with and that boy you liked very much. You’re not going to be around.”

What? I think it’s a variation on the “don’t let your daughter date till she’s 30” thing that he sometimes does. But it comes out as just babbling and he’s always weirdly obsessed with talking about little girls dating.

But then after that comment to the kid that it’s never “okay to question their motive,” he told a long rambling story about Sen. Jesse Helms (R-NC). You can read it all in the tweet from the Politico guy, but it’s just bizarre, and you can see Hunter’s face here — he’s just like, “Oh, my.”

Hunter had to correct Joe on even what state Helms represented.

Biden tried to distance himself from Helms, whom he described as “not very crazy about African Americans” to the kids, but Biden had worked with Helms on anti-busing legislation, so he’s not being honest about that relationship or what that means about him at the time.

Biden also claimed that the disagreement that he had with Helms — when he was 32 — was about the Americans with Disabilities Act. But the ADA was introduced for the first time in 1988. Biden was 32 in 1974, so he was off by about 14 years. So once again, you have a story that he’s rambling on about to kids that’s supposed to have a point that it never gets to, but it could never have happened as he claims. It’s just fantasy land.

But why would you tell such a weird story to little kids anyway? It doesn’t even make sense to adults, much less to kids. Not to mention that Biden is always demonizing his opponents, so if the point was to try to understand your opponents to work with them, he fails at that too.

It sounds like the kids got that what he was saying was crazy too, trying to shift to simpler questions for old Joe.

Then Hunter or someone had the sense to try to get him away from the kids and questions. Hunter has to tell him he’s supposed to be doing a “rope line” — shaking hands/saying hello to people. (Click on the tweet to enlarge it.)

Hunter then has to even explain to him what a rope line is — and this is what they put in the transcript. God knows what was in the “inaudible” part.
