Biden Can’t Even Remember the Name of His Infrastructure Czar – Opinion

Joe Biden today spoke about how he would disburse some of the funds under the Infrastructure Act, which was passed by Congress last year.

Biden had appointed an “infrastructure czar” to be in charge of the effort: Mitch Landrieu, former New Orleans mayor during Hurricane Katrina. But Biden seemed to have trouble both with saying “America” and remembering what the name of the czar for the job was.

This is possible. This is what Abearica— a better America is gonna look like.”

Mitch Landrieu stands right alongside him.

“And the reason I asked Mitch Mc– to do this, is because he knows how to get things done.”

Biden said “Mitch McC–” and then stopped, seemingly almost saying “Mitch McConnell,” the Republican Senate Minority Leader.

But folks on both sides of the aisle have raised questions about Landrieu, with critics saying that he didn’t properly use the billions in federal aid for post-Katrina repairs in the city. He’s also been criticized for ‘enriching’ himself through a ‘racial justice’ non-profit since then.

If you don’t know by now, Mitch has built his career off of co-opting the work of Black organizers and is now enriching himself of his “racial justice non-profit”

Now, I’m all in for making as much as you can (honestly) in a private business. But in a non-profit, if your head guy is drawing down $330,000, someone has missed the plot here — and the purpose of where the money is supposed to be going, which is for the cause.

It was not exactly sterling, with Landrieu being the first pick and then not even remembering his name.

This was similar to the day before, when Biden couldn’t read the teleprompter saying “topped” rather than “tapped,” and couldn’t pronounce the name of his testing guy. When cases are higher than ever before, that’s not a good look.

Joe Biden doesn’t even know how to pronounce the name of the guy leading his “testing program.”

Biden acknowledged during his infrastructure remarks that there was a lot of disappointment in the things they haven’t gotten done.

That’s true. Unfortunately, there’s also a lot more disappointment with the things he has done, like the bad spending policies that have helped increase inflation. That has been met with a delusional response from the White House.

After his Infrastructure remarks ended, Biden was questioned by the media. But Biden blew them off, doing a classic Biden move — ignoring them and/or looking out of it, then shuffling away and having no answers for anybody.
