The GOP is Teasing Biden Because He Did Something Kind and Considerate While Visiting Kentucky Flood Victims
It’s kind of amazing. The GOP proves themselves to be absolutely awful, every single day. Today, it was a tweet they sent about Joe Biden, who is in Kentucky visiting victims of the recent flooding, and offering the federal government’s support. Mind you, the damage from the floods have resulted in the worst flooding in Kentucky’s history.
At least 37 people have died since last month’s deluge, which dropped 8 to 10.5 inches of rain in 48 hours. The National Weather Service said Sunday that flooding remains a threat, warning of more thunderstorms through Thursday.
The Bidens were greeted by Governor Andy Beshear and his wife, Britainy, when they arrived in eastern Kentucky. They drove to see devastation from the storms in Breathitt County, stopping at the site where a school bus, carried by floodwaters, crashed into a partially-collapsed building.
Attending a briefing on the flooding’s impact with first responders and recovery specialists at Marie Roberts-Caney Elementary School in Lost Creek, Biden pledged the continued support of the federal government.
“We’re not leaving,” he said. “As long as it takes, we’re going to be here.”

During the briefing, Biden interrupted Beshear, and asked whether he could say something. Beshear responded that he’s the president, he can do whatever he wants! And Biden replied that he still had to ask. So basically, Biden is kind. He’s a nice guy. But in MAGA world, this is totally unacceptable. NOPE. You gotta be nasty and send mean tweets. Tease men about their height. Call women dogs. You know, all the things they love Trump so dearly for doing.
Because remember, this is a real man to today’s Republican Party:
And the GOP actually sent out a tweet showing the interaction:
BIDEN: "May I say something?"
GOV. BESHEAR: "You're the president."
BIDEN: "I still have to ask permission." pic.twitter.com/A2sJSgt4MV

As you’d imagine, people on Twitter were disgusted:
Brutal takedown you guys. You really showed the world for what President Biden really is: kind and considerate.

Wow. I get that y'all love TFG and his special brand of rudeness, but ragging on Biden's politeness isn't the flex you think it is. In fact, it says a lot about the way you think more than anything.

You dumdums still can’t process that people actually like Biden as a person because he’s a regular person, eh?

Awesome! Thank you for showing the people that President Biden has manners, decency & is courteous! So glad we have that back in the White House.

Aah civility, how we’ve missed you.
Civility is what the GOP knows nothing about.

It’s called humbleness. The Bible has some things to say about it. Maybe you read it.

He has more character in his little finger than the entire Republican Party. After all the bashing by McConnell and Paul, he still works for Americans and doesn’t hold a grudge. https://t.co/ScItXYwzLD
