President Biden blamed the media Friday after he was caught saying on a hot mic the previous evening that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu needed a “come to Jesus” talk about the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.
“I didn’t say that,” Biden tried to argue when asked about the incident as he left the White House for a campaign trip to Philadelphia.
When pressed, Biden groused, “You guys eavesdropped on me.”
The president, 81, made the awkward comment about the Jewish state’s head of government while mingling with lawmakers following his State of the Union address — asking Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) to keep what he said confidential.
“I told him, ‘Bibi’ — and don’t repeat this, but ‘You and I are going to have a come to Jesus—’,” Biden began as an aide rushed over to stop him from saying more, exclaiming “Sir!” and whispering in his ear. illegal’ “I’m on a hot mic here,” Biden said out loud, adding sarcastically, “Good. That was good.”
Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg stood nearby, and it was unclear whether they overheard the remark.
The exchange followed other candid comments in the aftermath of the speech, such as Biden quipping to Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) after he extolled the president’s remarks as evidence of his mental fitness, “I kinda wish sometimes I was cognitively impaired.”
Biden gave early support for Netanyahu’s invasion of Gaza, for which he’s been repeatedly heckled as “Genocide Joe” during his public remarks while Democratic concern grows about losing Arab American and Muslim voters in the November election.

Not a racial slur, but it’s bad form, since many serious Christians still ‘blame Jews’ for Christ’s crucifixion.
I know. It doesn’t make any sense. No one living now was around then. Only a tiny group of wealthy citizens made such decisions at the time. We can’t change history.
Know-nothing Jerry Nadler extolled Biden’s remarks as evidence of his mental fitness.
Biden commented: “I kinda wish sometimes I was cognitively impaired.”
Mercy me, Biden’s now a fiery “fighter,” a screaming, angry “leader of limitless accomplishments.”
So what happened to the kind, gentle doddering bereaved oldster Special Counsel Hur told us about?
Hur said THAT Biden was so forgetful, too nice and no one could possibly hold him accountable for mishandling boxes of US classified documents.
THAT Biden....... who undermined the safety and security of American Families with complete impunity....... has now “morphed” into a “trusted beacon of Democrat leadership” with just one speech.
Will miracles never cease?....snx?
It’s probably one of his canned expressions that he uses all the time. “You think I’m joking, but I must not.” It just caused him to step in it this time.
Should be “I’m not.”
Lousy autocorrect!
He is a lying scumbag. Potentially the BIGGEST liar in world history. He denies his very own taped words.
It is sort of like asking a Muslim if they brought home the bacon. Indelicate to say the least.
“Yes, biden certainly does need to come to Jesus. That’s one thing I can agree with him on.”
I’ll even pray tonight that he “comes to Jesus” in THIS life. He won’t like it if and when he DOES “Come to Jesus” unrepentant in the next life!
“And Bibi was a bad dude who ran a bunch of bad boys!”
Did you notice who posted it? In 2020, straight from PEDOJOE....He’s had almost 4 years and still “Trump’s fault”
😂😂😂
I’ve always wondered why Jewish voters put up with the Democrats and their lukewarm an confused attitudes toward Israeli defense.
Do you think this will move anybody to change their vote? It seems like it might.
Biden is an inveterate liar. The biggest liar in world history? Biden has lots of competition for that title.
Good observation.
We’ve seen it boldly evident from Dems since Bill Clinton was defended with “All men are cheating on their wives but they haven’t all been caught yet” and “Everybody lies, all of us.”
I immediately thought of my dead mother and my still living Hillary supporter evil sister in MA, both of whom went caught by me in lies about their doing something against me denied it then said “Well I was only kidding.” BS. Both evildoers.
Picking out one little piece of your comment.
You say “serious Christians” still blame Jews for the Crucifixion.
I’ve run into that exactly zero times in my long life in which I’ve talked with thousands of fellow Christians.
When I’ve heard that before I always say “Name 3 of those serious Christians.”
I don’t think so. Most Jews would support their own executioner if he was a Democrat.
My dead mother was one of those as well.
False accusations are always a part of their toolkit.
It was a blessing in disguise.
I developed the skills to sniff out sociopaths a mile away.
Good point. I suppose anyone who still clings to that old belief as a reason to mistreat our Jewish brothers and sisters of 2024 cannot be considered a ‘serious” Christian at all.
Who are you going to believe? Joe the known plagiarist (and pathological liar) or your LYIN’ EARS???

You just posted an Biden ad about Trump
Are you saying you dislike Trump or calling Biden a hypocrite?
I don’t think any serious Christian blames the Jewish people for Christ’s death. On the contrary, serious Christians love the Jewish people.
Maybe the history channel refers to his death this way.
