And there are so many \u2014 and they actually weren&#8217;t in jail,&#8221; Biden joked. <\/p>\n<p>Then he moved on to the most famous Irish stereotype, their propensity for drinking alcohol. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s still a place called Finnegan&#8217;s pub \u2026 that&#8217;s related to my family,&#8221; He went on. &#8220;I&#8217;m the only Irishman you ever met, though, that&#8217;s never had a drink, so I&#8217;m OK. I&#8217;m really not Irish.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Biden used the opportunity to call for bipartisanship. This echos comments made by Kevin McCarthy (R.
