WH Spokesperson’s Post About How Biden Is ‘Just That F***ing Good’ on Foreign Policy Backfires

A post aimed at touting President Joe Biden’s foreign policy knowledge is not going over well.

Senior deputy White House press secretary Andrew Bates took to X to celebrate the press conference that was seen as a chance to defend Biden’s candidacy, writing, “To answer the question on everyone’s minds: No, Joe Biden does not have a doctorate in foreign affairs.”

“He’s just that f***ing good,” he added.

To answer the question on everyone’s minds: No, Joe Biden does not have a doctorate in foreign affairs.

He’s just that fucking good.

During the roughly hour-long press conference, the president answered various questions. In some cases, such as foreign policy, he went into depth on the issue even if the answer meandered for several minutes.

Check out some of the responses below:

Dude he confused Harris and Trump right after he mixed up Zelensky and Putin.

I'll keep saying this: I absolutely love that this is what Andrew Bates has been reduced to. https://t.co/eJ9fQ88bmM

I definitely think that this guy should be drummed out of politics once this is over. He’s just obviously very bad at his job. He has the shamelessness but he doesn’t know how to launder the bullshit in a way that is successful. https://t.co/32QeG3cK7a

Seems Biden World’s internalized his fav line: “don’t compare me to the almighty..”

Sure, Biden didn’t invite Russia to invade Europe. But Hill Leaders watching who’ve also worked on these issues for years, won’t be blown away by him being able to answer Q’s they can all answer https://t.co/MApAwKDM2c

While Biden was able to engage on foreign policy questions, he did start the press conference off with a blunder as he called Vice President Kamala Harris “Vice President Trump.”
