Joe Biden appears constitutionally ineligible to accept blame or take responsibility for the things he does wrong.
Anytime he gets called out for doing anything wrong, it’s always someone else’s fault, no matter what hoops he might have to jump through to try to argue it away, as we saw during the debacle of a withdrawal from Afghanistan.
He was back at it today during the G20 meeting in Rome.
Biden spoke with French President Emmanuel Macron. During questioning by reporters, the subject of tensions between the countries was brought up.
France and the United States have had strong relations in the past. Biden, however, stepped up to the plate and negotiated the AUKUS defense agreement with Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Australia was provided with submarines to protect itself from threats by China through the agreement. France was left in the dust after they believed they had made a deal to supply submarines to Australia. It looked as though the U.S. had tricked them by their actions.
France was so angry, it recalled its ambassadors from both the United States and Australia, calling it a “stab in the back.”
But Biden’s response was not only embarrassing, it once again laid blame on someone else and indeed, contradicted what his climate czar John Kerry has already said about the incident. Biden acknowledged what was done was “clumsy, not done with a lot of grace.”

“I was under the impression that certain things had happened that hadn’t happened,” Biden claimed. When pressed on what he meant he said he was “under the impression that France was informed long before that the deal was not going through.”
In response to Biden’s remarks, Macron said it was important to make sure that “such a situation will not be possible for our future.”
Kerry explained to the French, when the French were astonished at the amount of spit that was being thrown into the fan on this issue earlier in the month: Biden hadn’t been informed. ““He asked me,” Kerry said. “He said, ‘What’s the situation?’ He literally had not been aware of what had transpired,” Kerry told a French news channel. But he said he didn’t “want to go into the details of it.”
Biden wants to once more blame France for failing to inform others. But when you get down to it here, he had no idea about what’s going on, any way you slice it. The ball was dropped to the floor, regardless of who he may have blamed.
If Kerry had any knowledge, why would he need to inquire about John Kerry’s activities? It was troubling that Kerry should be briefing him. And it’s embarrassing when he basically reveals now — in front of the world — that he had no idea. He’s supposed to be the one where the buck stops. But that may only be when we’re talking about his 10 percent from Hunter.
