Biden trolled online as he calls himself a 'Zionist' who's done more for Palestinians than anybody else

WASHINGTON, DC: In a recent interview with Complex Networks' Speedy Morman on '360 with Speedy', President Joe Biden affirmed his commitment to Zionism while adding that he has also provided substantial support to the Palestinian community.

The interview with Morman was conducted the day before an assassination attempt on former president and GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump and was released on Monday, July 15. Additionally, the interview marked the first time in weeks that Biden spoke extensively about the war in Gaza, shifting focus from the predominant media scrutiny over his age and cognitive capabilities.

President Joe Biden's 'zionist' stance

President Joe Biden unequivocally stated, "Yes," when asked if he considers himself a Zionist. He elaborated, “You don’t have to be a Jew to be a Zionist, and a Zionist is about whether or not Israel is a safe haven for Jews because of their history of how they’ve been persecuted.” 

“Now, you’ll be able to make a lot of that because different people don’t know what a Zionist is,” he added.

Despite his Zionist identity, Biden emphasized his efforts to aid Palestinians.

He claimed significant achievements in this regard, stating, “I’m the guy that opened up all the assets. I’m the guy that made sure that – I got the Egyptians to open the border to let goods through, medicine, and food. I have been very supportive of the Palestinians, but Hamas, they’re a bunch of thugs.”

Joe Biden trolled online for his interview 

President Joe Biden's comments during the interview, however, stirred quite a backlash on social media, with people voicing their disapproval over his statements.

"This interview is so bad. Unbelievably bad," one social media user wrote on X.

"That interviewer did not look comfortable after that Zionist comment," another said.

"Making a cringe face in my living room alone," one comment read.

"Yikes. I would have resigned by now and gone into hiding," someone else said.

"He's using the same lines he used on black people. He did more for black people than anybody. So he just inserts an ethnicity and repeats," another added.

Joe Biden's commitment to presidential race amid mental fitness concerns

Amid concerns about his mental fitness following a shaky debate performance last month, President Joe Biden reaffirmed his determination to remain in the 2024 presidential race.

When asked about his commitment, he responded, "1,000%," and humorously added, “Unless I get hit by a train, yeah," CNN reported.

He dismissed the notion of withdrawing, saying earlier this month that only the "Lord Almighty" could convince him to end his re-election bid.

Biden's cognitive abilities have been a focal point in discussions about his re-election bid. In a rare primetime interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos, Biden dismissed calls for a public cognitive test, stating, "I have a cognitive test every single day. Every day I have that test - everything I do [is a test]."

He attributed his poor debate performance to exhaustion and a "bad cold," and rejected the idea that he should step aside for a younger candidate, asserting, “I don’t think anybody’s more qualified to be president or win this race than me.”
