Stephen Colbert, host of The Late Show, made jokes at President Joe Bidens expense for his statement at the White House Easter Egg Roll.
The report hinted at the idea that he would run for re-election.
The question about Bidens mental abilities has risen anew as he continues to make blunders in big public announcements like the one he just made at the Easter Egg Roll. This tradition at the White House dates back to 1878, and it was undoubtedly great material for comedians like Colbert.
I was just wondering, Mr. President, will you be taking part in the Easter Egg Rolls, planning on after 2024? asked Today Show co-host Al Roker in a clip shared by Colbert.
Biden replied: I plan on at least three or four more Easter Egg Rolls, and then said: Maybe five Maybe six. What the hell? I dont know.
Roker asked a follow-up: Are you saying you would [be] participating in our upcoming election in 2024?
Ill either be rolling an egg or end up being the guy [whos] pushing em out, replied Biden.
Colbert took this bizarre statement and ran with it to make comedy out of the information from the President.
The comedian put on a pair of trademark avatar sunglasses commonly worn by President Biden and took the time to make his best impression of the President. He said:
Thats right, Jack! I got big Easter news: Joe Biden can lay eggs. Easy as pie. No, I push [ em] right out the cloaca. Serve [ em] up scrambled, or sit on [ em] for a while, raise a beautiful flock of [little] baby Joes, peep, peep, peep, Colbert quipped while imitating the President and wearing the aviator sunglasses Biden favors. Point is, I am mentally fit to once again run for President of the United States. Whats goin on? Wheres Jill? Marco! Jill-o!
Fox News reports that Biden was given a clean bill of health in February, but this hasnt been enough to convince some people. Some doctors noted that the health exam did not mention his mental abilities.
Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, a family and emergency medical professional and Fox News contributor, asked about this and Bidens mental abilities. It has left many people wondering if the President has the cognitive skills necessary to carry on with his role.
Dr. Nesheiwat said:
The job of the presidency is a very demanding stressful job, and We must ensure our leader is physically, mentally and emotionally capable, especially [when it comes to] decisions, regarding life and death and the overall health, safety, and well-being of our nation.
