What is it with this guy?
In the wake of a horrific shooting at a Christian elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, President Biden has decided it’s the perfect time to test out some of his new stand-up material.
First, Biden does three minutes on ice cream while doing a little crowd work down in Durham, North Carolina before delivering remarks on the shooting. Now, he’s taking shots at Senator Josh Hawley for demanding the event be investigated as a hate crime.
From The New York Post:
President Biden laughed off a question from a reporter on Tuesday about whether the transgender shooter at a Christian elementary school in Nashville was targeting people of faith.
“I have no idea,” Biden, 80, told the media assembled outside the White House on Tuesday when asked if Monday’s deadly shooting rampage that claimed the lives of three children and three adults at the Covenant School in Tennessee was an attack targeting Christians.
When told that Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) believed that the attack did target Christian believers, Biden’s response raised eyebrows.
“Well, I probably don’t, then,” Biden said, chuckling after the remark, and then adding, “No, I’m joking. No, I have no idea.”
Hawley, 43, called on the FBI and Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday to investigate Monday’s shooting as a hate crime against Christian believers.

In another Tweet, Hawley said, “School children were killed yesterday in a hate crime – but rather than pushing for answers, Joe Biden is trying to make jokes. It’s beneath the office of the presidency.”
