<p>President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> made a series of cringeworthy jokes at the expense of Irish people at a St. Patrick&#8217;s Day event Friday.</p>
<p>While speaking at the annual <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0mxqTkotiw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Friends of Ireland Luncheon</a> with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar Friday afternoon, Biden made a series of jokes stereotyping Irish people as drunks and criminals. Biden said that because he doesn&#8217;t drink and doesn&#8217;t have relatives in jail, he&#8217;s &#8220;really not Irish.&#8221; Twitter users pointed out the stereotypes, and also that he does, in fact, have relatives in legal trouble.</p>
<p>Biden began his remarks with a quote attributed to the 20th-century Irish diplomat Shane Leslie. &#8220;Every St. Patrick’s Day, every Irishman goes out to find another Irishman to make a speech to,” Biden said. “Well, that’s why I’m here.&#8221;</p>
<p>He then recounted a story from his time as vice president, when a previous prime minister, or <em>Taoiseach</em>, told former President Obama to stop sending Biden on trips. “[T]he Taoiseach — I brought him into the Oval and he sat down. And before Barack could say anything, he said &#8216;For God’s sake, Barack, let the boy come home.’” Biden said in a butchered Irish accent. “‘Let him come home.&#8217; And he said, &#8216;You keep sending him to places like Afghanistan, Iraq, and all the — let him come home.’”</p>
<p>Next, Biden talked about a previous trip to Ireland to visit his ancestral family. &#8220;It was a great experience,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I’d been to Ireland many times, but not to actually look up to find my actual family members — and there are so many.  And they actually weren’t in jail.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And one of the things that — and the Finnegans were from County Louth,&#8221; he said of his distant family line. &#8220;And they’re still — if you go to County Louth, there’s still a place called &#8216;Finnegan’s Pub,&#8217; which is — it’s related to my family.  And I’m the only Irishman you’ve ever met, though, that’s never had a drink. So, I’m okay. I’m really not Irish.&#8221;</p>
<p>Commenters under a New York Post <a href="https://twitter.com/nypost/status/1636813878624485377?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweet</a> blasted Biden for stereotyping the Irish.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve found the one nationality it&#8217;s still acceptable to make fun of!&#8221; one Twitter user commented.</p>
<p>&#8220;guy did the first irish american hatecrime since like 1910,&#8221; one user tweeted.</p>
<p>&#8220;As an Irishman, I wouldn&#8217;t even *mind* this, and would think it kinda funny&#8230; If it didn&#8217;t come from a guy who&#8217;s continually lecturing me and everyone else how racist *WE* are&#8230;&#8221; another user wrote.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is about the most Irish-American (pejorative) thing a yank can say,&#8221; said another.</p>
<p>&#8220;Joe Biden is in fact less Irish than Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy,&#8221; The Spectator editor at-large <a href="https://twitter.com/bdomenech/status/1636854710236749825?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1636854710236749825%7Ctwgr%5E8d36cc24b40a1bfd95f710087c2164aa6dab991b%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fpublish.twitter.com%2F%3Fquery%3Dhttps3A2F2Ftwitter.com2Fbdomenech2Fstatus2F1636854710236749825widget%3DTweet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Domenech</a> noted. &#8220;Biden is an English name and his paternal lineage is overwhelmingly English.&#8221;</p>
<p>Other users mocked Biden&#8217;s comment about not having family in jail, noting that several members of the Biden family are currently in trouble with the law.</p>
<p>&#8220;Joe Biden’s relatives have had many MANY serious run ins with the law — but have managed to avoid jail time in every case,&#8221; the New York Post&#8217;s <a href="https://twitter.com/LevineJonathan/status/1636835637046267904?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1636835637046267904%7Ctwgr%5E84e2cd4923b971af6775eea2a9cd77282b0b3439%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fpublish.twitter.com%2F%3Fquery%3Dhttps3A2F2Ftwitter.com2FLevineJonathan2Fstatus2F1636835637046267904widget%3DTweet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jon Levine</a> tweeted, linking to a Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/07/11/joe-bidens-family-has-a-long-rap-sheet/amp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> from 2020 detailing legal troubles of his niece Caroline, daughter Ashley, brother Frank, and son Hunter.</p>
<p>&#8220;He’s sent two kids and a niece to court-ordered rehab,&#8221; one user added. &#8220;The Bidens are doing more than their part to ruin the curve.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No but he has a son who isn&#8217;t sober and should be in jail,&#8221; said another, referring to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter</a>&#8216;s shady business dealings.</p>
