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.

In other news today President Biden was involved in yet another hot microphone incident.
Biden: “what? in there?”
Aide: “Yes, Mr. President. The handicapped stall. Let me help you with your diaper”.
Biden: “OK.”
Aide: “Mr President - try to keep it aimed into the toilet.”
Aide: “Mr. President. Could you turn off your lapel mic? I believe the press can hear you going. Thanks! “
“ since many serious Christians still ‘blame Jews’ “
No serious Christian blames Jews for killing Jesus.
It was all part of God’s plan. If Jesus did not die for
us then we wouldn’t be saved.
Serious Christians love their neighbor even if they are
Jewish.
I think Biden really meant was come to Allah moment. Because that’s what Biden wants Israel to do; capitulate to Hamas and the Muslims.
No, I’m saying Joe’s been lying about Trump since 2020.
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
Look on the sunny side:
"State of the Union" = time to meet Jesus!
Exactly.
Funny how they take credit for anything good, but anything bad is STILL the other guy’s fault, no matter how many years it’s been.
Who ya gonna believe my lying lips or the truth?
Now tell Hamas the same thing.
That really sucks. Sorry, Frank.
Thanks.

Kindergarten behavior!!!!

Amen!!
When Bibi rushed to congratulate biden on his 2020 “win”, I wondered then if Bibi was deep state.
saying that is very offensive to a Jew. Doesn’t bode well any Biden diplomacy
Netanyahu: “I’m Jewish. Biden is the one who needs to come to Jesus.”
Simply put, What a jerk.
It was a kiss up......... no question........lot going on there.
I am partial to saying someone had a “Road to Damascus” moment. Unless you have people who aren’t of European descent, then it may not translate.
Its not a perfect fit, but you could also call it the “Chief Brody Moment.”
