Joe Biden surprised everyone by gracing “The View” with his presence, sitting down for a cozy chat with Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, and Joy Behar. It’s always a spectacle when Biden takes the stage, but this time, his appearance was marked by a trifecta of political gaffes, including undermining his own Vice President Kamala Harris, taking a swipe at Donald Trump, and basking in a delusional sense of political invincibility.
First up, Biden did Harris no favors. In one of the more striking moments, he essentially blamed her for the myriad failures of his administration. When asked about Harris’ role, Biden said, “As Vice President, there wasn’t a single thing that I did that she couldn’t do, so I was able to delegate her responsibility on everything from foreign policy to domestic policy.” Oh, good to know!
So, let’s get this straight: Harris, who has often been portrayed as a sidelined, powerless figure by the press, was actually in charge of… everything? That means the disaster in Afghanistan, the chaos at the border, and our skyrocketing inflation? Yep, all Kamala! Biden may have thought he was throwing her a compliment, but in reality, he just dumped a truckload of responsibility right at her feet.

But Biden wasn’t done yet. The conversation inevitably turned to Donald Trump. Whoopi Goldberg couldn’t resist taking a jab, referring to Trump as a “bug” that wouldn’t go away. And, in a show of maturity, Biden pantomimed swatting the former president as if he were an actual insect. Hilarious, right? If only this wasn’t the same president who has been lamenting the “heated rhetoric” in politics and calling for civility. You know, the same civility that leads to Trump facing multiple death threats. Imagine if Trump had made a gesture like that towards Biden—the media would be in an uproar, calling it violent incitement. But when it’s Biden? Cue the laugh track.

Biden then imitates smashing a bug d*ad on the table.
Hosts and audience laugh.

Speaking of delusions, Biden’s next display of fantasy came when asked about his decision to drop out of the presidential race. Despite polls, public sentiment, and his party’s wishes, Biden claimed, with a straight face, that he would have beaten Trump if he stayed in. “I was confident I would beat Trump. He’s a loser,” Biden said. Well, that’s quite the assertion coming from the man who was essentially pushed out of the race because he was polling terribly. But sure, Joe, keep telling yourself that.

For added fun, Sunny Hostin then compared Biden to George Washington. Yes, really. According to the show, Biden is the greatest president since the founding, with no mental decline whatsoever. And here we thought The View was a talk show, not a comedy routine.
Finally, let’s address the ongoing absurdity surrounding Kamala Harris’ name. Democrats love to claim that mispronouncing her name is somehow racist. But there was Whoopi Goldberg, casually calling her “camel-uh” during the show. Funny how nobody seemed to mind. Compare that to the outrage when Republican Rep. Nancy Mace slipped up with Harris’ name recently, and it becomes clear: the rules only apply if you’re on the wrong team.
We have been reliably informed that Whoopi Goldberg should be ASHAMED of herself for mispronouncing Kamala’s name. Disgusting! pic.twitter.com/QoQZclQfWY

Biden’s appearance on The View was just more of the same. A president completely out of touch with reality, a media landscape more interested in fawning over him than asking tough questions, and the usual double standards that leave most Americans shaking their heads.
