The insulting barb is all the more inexcusable because Biden had cracked the same “joke” on more than one occasion.

In 2015, when the then-vice president was posing for a photo with Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina during a swearing-in ceremony, he motioned for a woman to be included in the picture, saying: “I tell you what, man, I may be Irish, but I’m not stupid.”

Normally, you could dismiss the dig as yet another example of Biden’s nonstop gaffes throughout his 50-year political career, except that as president, he has made promoting “racial equity” for black people a focal point of his administration.

This rabid push for “equity” (instead of equality) means every policy action has to pass this litmus test: Does it help black Americans?

Despite his careful approach, Biden has offended almost every demographic group there is.

The United States is teetering on the brink of World War III, thanks to this administration’s feckless leadership.

As America is ravaged by soaring inflation, daily border invasions, rampant homelessness and terrifying crime waves, Biden should modify his racist jab ahead of St. Patrick’s Day: He may be Irish, but he is stupid.
