Fox & Friends Are NOT Amused by Joe Biden’s 146th Birthday Instagram Joke: ‘Such a Weird Message’

 

President Joe Biden made light of his 81st birthday Monday with an Instagram post celebrating his “146th birthday.” Fox & Friends did NOT find the joke amusing.

Biden’s official Instagram account posted a photo of the president with a birthday cake ablaze with candles. The post’s message read, “Thanks for the birthday well-wishes today, everyone. Turns out on your 146th birthday, you run out of space for candles!”

The co-hosts of Fox & Friends did not appear to find this self-deprecating joke funny. At all.

Brian Kilmeade sarcastically dismissed it as “hysterical.” Ainsley Earhardt noted, “Such a weird thing to say,” while Lawrence Jones harrumphed, “Well, he’s making fun of it. Yes. And it’s it’s a real issue for the American public right now. Yeah. I don’t think he takes it seriously at all.”

The co-hosts quickly pivoted to what they called “operation bubblewrap” pegged to a weekend article in Politico that explores all the options White House aides are considering to fight the “optics” of Biden’s age because, well…he’s pretty old.
