President Biden’s had some serious “WTF” moments during his trip to Ireland, but the White House must be happy they can count on media outlets like the New York Times to provide some really nice framing:
President Biden spent the first day of his trip to Ireland steeped in family lore. At a castle he looked out at the Irish Sea, where his great-great-great grandfather set sail for the U.S.
“It feels wonderful!” he shouted. “It feels like I’m comin’ home.” https://t.co/1MTFOnVv6u

Meanwhile, Biden should be wearing a shirt that says “you must be Irish because my number of embarrassing moments is Dub’lin”:

But credit where credit is due: Biden traced his lineage to a family name that perfectly represents his presidency and what it’s done to America:
As the proud son of the Blewitts of County Mayo and the Finnegans of County Louth, it’s great to be back in Ireland – the place where my ancestors forged the same values that I’ve passed down to my own children and grandchildren. pic.twitter.com/rRtyS38HRV

Biden, Blewitt? That’s just perfect. Maybe Biden should hyphenate from here on in:
Joe Biden-Blewitt

That sounds about right!
@potus Joe Biden comes from a long line of "BLEWITT's"!
His track record as @potus is starting to make more sense!
-Afghanistan – blew it
-Spy balloon – blew it
-border crisis – blew it
-inflation – blew it
–#climateScam – blew it
-Ukraine/Russia – blew it
-China/Taiwan -blew it https://t.co/8bhkiNbF52— libsofgov (@libsofgov) April 13, 2023

Biden Blewitt would actually be a family name. You literally can't make this shit up.

As for the “values” Biden passed down to his children? There needs to be an asterisk next to at least one of those names.
What an insult to every Irishman. Your “values” and your son’s values are some of the worst in the world. Irishmen typically have high values. You are the exception, not the norm.

Also I thought it was pretty funny that Glenn Beck reminded Biden that he forgot to include a branch of his family tree:
Family trees can be fascinating! Looks like Biden left off one tree branch he didn't want you to see: https://t.co/ioRSICMiMJ https://t.co/MjFzcTvO3R

LOL. Ouch.
