Widely heckled and mocked from all sides for his recurring penchant for gaffes and socially awkward bumblings, President Joe Biden outdid even himself with the doozy he let loose during his visit with Pope Francis.
“You’re the famous African-American baseball player in America,” Biden mumbled to the leader of the Catholic Church.
Wait – what? Is Uncle Joe off his meds again, or was it just a quirky conversational rejoinder?
The comment was apparently made as part of Biden’s attempt to equate the Pope’s social-justice warrioring to the travails Satchel Paige faced and overcame as a barrier-breaking black professional baseball player, reported TrendingPolitics.
But Biden’s weirdness didn’t stop there; he also was apparently trapped in a time warp, rambling on about his, Satch’s and the Pope’s ages.
“How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were? You’re 65. I’m 60,” Biden told a bewildered and confused looking Pope.
The strange exchange provides a possible explanation for why the Vatican suddenly and mysteriously canceled a live broadcast of the Pope’s meeting with Biden.
Another reason could have been angst about a possible stumble over the contentious issue of abortion, with U.S. Catholic bishops currently debating whether Biden should be denied communion over his pro-abortion views.
The issue apparently wasn’t raised during the meeting, but Biden claimed the Pope was on his side when it came to religious tenets.
“We just talked about the fact that he was happy that I was a good Catholic and … keep receiving communion,” Biden said.
One can only assume that if a white, 84-year-old Pope can be compared to a legendary, black baseball player, it’s not a stretch to compare a radical pro-abortion leftist to a good Catholic.
