Sen. John Kennedy jokes Joe Biden’s first car ‘was a chariot’

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) made a joke about President Joe Biden’s age as the oldest sitting commander in chief.

Kennedy appeared Thursday on Fox and Friends to comment on Biden’s performance during his first term. Biden is in the middle of a reelection campaign, and if he wins, he will be 85 at the end of his second term.

BIDEN’S OFF-RAMP SHOULD HE BOW OUT OF THE 2024 CONTEST

“President Biden is in political trouble,” Kennedy said. “His poll numbers are practically on the ocean floor. Seventy percent of the American people think his first car was a chariot.”

Kennedy has long criticized Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, whom he later accused of talking “like she’s from outer space.” However, the Louisiana senator has yet to endorse a Republican candidate for 2024.

“Part of the reason that the president and his vice president are in trouble is the border,” Kennedy went on. “It’s wide open.”

Customs and Border Protection saw almost 241,000 immigrants attempt to cross the border at ports of entry in October, which was a decline from September’s historic record of almost 270,000. Over 10 million immigrants have reportedly entered the country illegally since Biden took office. It is the most recorded in that amount of time during any administration.

This comes after the White House began auctioning off unused portions of the border wall in August rather than storing them. When Biden took office, he thwarted the efforts of former President Donald Trump to build the wall at the southern border. All the unused parts of the wall went to storage in the Southwest for $130,000 daily. It has cost $47 million a year over the almost three years Biden has been in office. Instead, nearly 700 lots were sold for millions of dollars.
