President Joe Biden made a series of cringeworthy jokes at the expense of Irish people at a St. Patrick’s Day event Friday.

While speaking at the annual Friends of Ireland Luncheon with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar Friday afternoon, Biden made a series of jokes stereotyping Irish people as drunks and criminals. Biden said that because he doesn’t drink and doesn’t have relatives in jail, he’s “really not Irish.” Twitter users pointed out the stereotypes, and also that he does, in fact, have relatives in legal trouble.

Biden began his remarks with a quote attributed to the 20th-century Irish diplomat Shane Leslie. “Every St. Patrick’s Day, every Irishman goes out to find another Irishman to make a speech to,” Biden said. “Well, that’s why I’m here.”

He then recounted a story from his time as vice president, when a previous prime minister, or Taoiseach, told former President Obama to stop sending Biden on trips. “[T]he Taoiseach — I brought him into the Oval and he sat down. And before Barack could say anything, he said ‘For God’s sake, Barack, let the boy come home.’” Biden said in a butchered Irish accent. “‘Let him come home.’ And he said, ‘You keep sending him to places like Afghanistan, Iraq, and all the — let him come home.’”

Next, Biden talked about a previous trip to Ireland to visit his ancestral family. “It was a great experience,” he said. “I’d been to Ireland many times, but not to actually look up to find my actual family members — and there are so many.  And they actually weren’t in jail.”

“And one of the things that — and the Finnegans were from County Louth,” he said of his distant family line. “And they’re still — if you go to County Louth, there’s still a place called ‘Finnegan’s Pub,’ which is — it’s related to my family.  And I’m the only Irishman you’ve ever met, though, that’s never had a drink. So, I’m okay. I’m really not Irish.”

Commenters under a New York Post tweet blasted Biden for stereotyping the Irish.

“We’ve found the one nationality it’s still acceptable to make fun of!” one Twitter user commented.

“guy did the first irish american hatecrime since like 1910,” one user tweeted.

“As an Irishman, I wouldn’t even *mind* this, and would think it kinda funny… If it didn’t come from a guy who’s continually lecturing me and everyone else how racist *WE* are…” another user wrote.

“This is about the most Irish-American (pejorative) thing a yank can say,” said another.

“Joe Biden is in fact less Irish than Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy,” The Spectator editor at-large Ben Domenech noted. “Biden is an English name and his paternal lineage is overwhelmingly English.”

Other users mocked Biden’s comment about not having family in jail, noting that several members of the Biden family are currently in trouble with the law.

“Joe Biden’s relatives have had many MANY serious run ins with the law — but have managed to avoid jail time in every case,” the New York Post’s Jon Levine tweeted, linking to a Post article from 2020 detailing legal troubles of his niece Caroline, daughter Ashley, brother Frank, and son Hunter.

“He’s sent two kids and a niece to court-ordered rehab,” one user added. “The Bidens are doing more than their part to ruin the curve.”

“No but he has a son who isn’t sober and should be in jail,” said another, referring to Hunter‘s shady business dealings.

The following is the opening satirical monologue from “The Andrew Klavan Show.“

I know that many of you are confused about exactly why the Silicon Valley Bank went bust. Well, you’ve come to the right place because this is a political commentary podcast, so the fact that I don’t understand this subject at all won’t stop me from explaining it to you.

The first thing you have to understand is that Democrats believe in socialism. Socialism is an economic system in which powerful people help the poor by taking money from the middle class and giving it to the rich so the rich will give the powerful people more power to help the poor by taking money from the middle class to give to the rich.

In the case of Silicon Valley Bank, the powerful Democrats needed more money to give to the rich to get more power to help the poor, so they printed worthless pieces of paper and called them “dollars” and gave them to the poor who passed them on to the rich in return for Hulu subscriptions and lawn chairs. The rich said, “Hooray! Now we have worthless dollar papers! We will put them in bonds and useless green nonsense businesses where they will magically turn into money.” They also donated millions to a Gay Pride organization, who used the millions to buy some rainbow-colored pencils, and a vacation for 12 in Thailand.

Then came inflation, which was “transitory,” which means permanent.

At this point, people panicked and there was a run on the bank like in the movie “It’s A Wonderful Life.” In fact, just like in “It’s A Wonderful Life,” the bank manager came out to the panicked people and said you can’t have your money, because your money is in that guy’s house, and your money is in this guy’s house, and your money is in another guy’s house because those three guys are crooks and stole all your money. Then the bank manager gave everyone a free rainbow pencil.

Acting quickly to reassure the public, President and Venal Houseplant Joe Biden shuffled slowly to a podium with his eyes glazed and his mouth hanging open and made a slurred speech saying that everything would be all right because he would give the rich people back their money from taxes taken from the middle class because that’s socialism. Biden also explained that the bank failure was Donald Trump’s fault because Donald Trump was such a bad president that everything Biden touches turns to crap. Then Biden shuffled slowly out of the room before anyone could ask him any questions, because questions might spoil the reassuring effect of the slurred speech he made with his mouth hanging open.

The White House then issued a statement which said, [quote] “The president’s bailout of the Silicon Valley bank is not a bank bailout, and this is not a statement issued by the White House.” [unquote] The New York Times, a former newspaper, immediately hailed the statement as a brilliant piece of post-modern literature, and the White House celebrated by releasing a bright red balloon that carried a speaker over Pennsylvania Avenue repeatedly saying, “It’s all Trump’s fault,” in a very high-pitched voice because it was a helium balloon and the celebration had gotten out of hand.

On the positive side, the Silicon Valley Bank’s board of directors was very diverse. Some board members had given huge donations to Hillary Clinton, some to Barack Obama, and some to Nancy Pelosi. Unfortunately, none of them had any actual board experience, except one but that was with a Ouija Board, which did at least spell out the words, “You are about to get a big surprise. Your bank is out of money.”

Now, you may have heard many journalists say that bailing the bank out after it acted so stupidly could create a [quote-unquote] “moral hazard.” And you may have asked yourself “What’s a moral hazard and why don’t journalists’ heads burst into flame when they say the word moral — that would be both funny and appropriate?” Well, a moral hazard is when rich people do something stupid and lose their money and the government gives them your money so that the rich people dance around the room and say, “Hooray! Now we can do more stupid things forever and nothing bad will ever happen to us because there’s a moral hazard so we get everybody’s money.” So basically a moral hazard is pretty much the same thing as socialism.

Now that I’ve explained the banking crisis to you, you’re probably wondering: “Will this affect me personally or can I just go back to watching porn?” That depends. If it’s the kind of porn where you need an online subscription, you can’t go back to watching it because you have no money because, now, banks all around the world have started collapsing, because Donald Trump was such a bad president that Joe Biden has ruined everything.

But here’s a free rainbow pencil.
