Biden claimed that he doesn&#8217;t drink, and doesn&#8217;t have relatives locked up, so he&#8217;s not a criminal. &#8220;really not Irish.&#8221; Twitter users pointed out that the stereotypes were false and that he has relatives in trouble.<\/p>\n<p>Biden opened his remarks by quoting Shane Leslie, a 20th-century Irish diplomat. &#8220;Every St. Patrick&#8217;s Day, every Irishman goes out to find another Irishman to make a speech to,&#8221; Biden said. &#8220;Well, that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then he recounted a story about his time as vice-president, when a former prime minister, or\u00a0<em>Taoiseach<\/em>Former President Obama was told by to stop sending Biden on his trips. &#8220;[T]he Taoiseach \u2014 I brought him into the Oval and he sat down. And before Barack could say anything, he said \u2018For God&#8217;s sake, Barack, let the boy come home.'&#8221; Biden spoke in an Irish accent that was a bit sloppy &#8220;\u2018Let him come home.&#8217; And he said, \u2018You keep sending him to places like Afghanistan, Iraq, and all the \u2014 let him come home.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Next, Biden spoke about his previous visit to Ireland to see his family. &#8220;It was a great experience,&#8221; He stated. &#8220;I&#8217;d been to Ireland many times, but not to actually look up to find my actual family members \u2014 and there are so many.\u00a0 And they actually weren&#8217;t in jail.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And one of the things that \u2014 and the Finnegans were from County Louth,&#8221; He spoke of his distant relatives. &#8220;And they&#8217;re still \u2014 if you go to County Louth, there&#8217;s still a place called \u2018Finnegan&#8217;s Pub,&#8217; which is \u2014 it&#8217;s related to my family.\u00a0 And I&#8217;m the only Irishman you&#8217;ve ever met, though, that&#8217;s never had a drink. So, I&#8217;m okay. I&#8217;m really not Irish.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Under a New York Post Tweet, commenters slammed Biden for stereotyping Irish people.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve found the one nationality it&#8217;s still acceptable to make fun of!&#8221; One Twitter user made a comment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;guy did the first irish american hatecrime since like 1910,&#8221; One user tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As an Irishman, I wouldn&#8217;t even *mind* this, and would think it kinda funny\u2026 If it didn&#8217;t come from a guy who&#8217;s continually lecturing me and everyone else how racist *WE* are\u2026&#8221; Another user wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is about the most Irish-American (pejorative) thing a yank can say,&#8221; One thing led to another.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joe Biden is in fact less Irish than Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy,&#8221; Ben Domenech, the Spectator editor at large, noted. &#8220;Biden is an English name and his paternal lineage is overwhelmingly English.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Others ridiculed Biden&#8217;s comments about not having relatives in jail and noted that several members the Biden family currently face legal problems.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joe Biden&#8217;s relatives have had many MANY serious run ins with the law \u2014 but have managed to avoid jail time in every case,&#8221; Jon Levine of the New York Post tweeted that he had linked to a Post article in 2020 about Caroline&#8217;s legal troubles.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s sent two kids and a niece to court-ordered rehab,&#8221; One more user &#8220;The Bidens are doing more than their part to ruin the curve.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No but he has a son who isn&#8217;t sober and should be in jail,&#8221; said another, referring to Hunter\u2018s shady business dealings.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&#8220;From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/joe-biden-makes-cringe-jokes-stereotyping-the-irish-at-st-patricks-day-event-with-irish-pm\">Joe Biden makes a mockery of the Irish at St. Patrick&#8217;s Day with the Irish PM<\/a>&#8220;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11px\"><em>&#8220;The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the author of the article and not necessarily shared or endorsed by Conservative News Daily&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden made a series of cringeworthy jokes at the expense of Irish people at a St. Patrick\u2019s Day event Friday.
