FACT CHECK: Interviewing Joe Biden 'Like Having One of The Beatles at the Table'

Half dead? Check. Half octogenarian? Check.

September 25, 2024

Joe Biden, nominal president of the United States, sat down with the ladies of The View for an interview on Wednesday. "It's like having one of the Beatles at the table," co-host Sarah Haines said as the audience roared and her colleagues cackled.

Haines wasn't entirely wrong, according to a Washington Free Beacon fact check. Biden doesn't have much in common with the Beatles, but they're both half-dead, half-octogenarian relics who haven't accomplished anything of substance since the 1970s. We rate Haines's claim "mostly true."

Biden, who turns 82 in November, went on to make a number of mostly false and indecipherable claims. He said his poll numbers were "about [incomprehensible], you know [incomprehensible] always within range of beating [Donald Trump]." (They were not.) Biden continued: "And, uh, but, uh, I—what I did was, I think there were [incomprehensible] I—it makes sense."

While attempting to make a coherent point about his record as president, Biden said the following: "There's so many opportunities for people to correct their lives [incomprehensible] get things back in shape, and, but it's just, it's just simply, I mean, the idea, anyway."

That's our president!
