Joe Biden invited Ketanji Jackson to visit the White House Friday, to commemorate her appointment to the Supreme Court on Thursday by the U.S. Senate. Kamala Harris was invited by Biden to join him at the event.
While Biden did laud Jackson, he just couldn’t stop himself from attacking Republicans and accusing them of putting her through “verbal abuse” and the “most vile and baseless accusations.” Biden lies a lot but that was a true whopper, especially given the “vile and baseless accusations” that Democrats have promoted against Republican nominees–even including gang rape. Republicans, on the other hand, stuck purely to Jackson’s record and, if anything, were far too nice.
But even though the moment was supposed to be about Judge Jackson, Biden still couldn’t help making it about himself and his perpetual inclination to puff himself up. Biden was Biden and he even fell over.
Biden stated that America can be described by one word. He couldn’t say what that word was, though.

He continued, telling a story about how close he was to Chinese President Xi Jinping (yes, we know, Joe; that’s not a good thing). How the buddies went on a road trip together, even to the “foothills of the Himalayas.”
“I was in the foothills of the Himalayas with Xi Jinping, traveling with him, that’s when I traveled 17,000 miles when I was Vice President,” Biden claimed. “I don’t know that for a fact.”
If he doesn’t know that for a fact, why is he saying it then? To make untrue, random statements. Biden was caught by Washington Post in the past for lying about this.
A White House official conceded that Biden’s line of “traveling with” Xi is not accurate. “This was a reference to the total travel back and forth — both internally in the U.S. and China, and as well as internationally — for meetings they held together,” he said. “Some travel was in parallel, some was separately to joint destinations.”
We tried our best, but we couldn’t get 17,000 miles.
Kamala’s face was something else in response to Biden’s remarks, as Not the Bee joked. She even gives Biden a side eye on this one.

Biden continued the story, saying that Xi asked him if he had one word, how would he define America, and he responded that “we think anything is possible.” Chances this happened this way? Zero to none, given Biden’s habit of prevarication. Now that’s not a bad word; indeed, that’s part of the reason that many people come to this country, in addition to freedom — the one word I probably would pick.

But then he went on to say that’s why people regard us as “the ugly American.” Um, what? Sometimes my brain hurts with the job of trying to figure out the logic — or lack thereof — of Joe Biden’s brain. I like to think I’m usually good at unraveling his special brand of confusion. Sorry, I’m not getting this one at all — how the “possibility” of America makes us the “ugly American.” It’s that freedom and possibility that has made us a beacon to the world. But somehow, Democrats like Biden always try to ding America–even at a point where he’s supposed to be praising it.
