President Biden raised eyebrows on St. Patrick’s Day with jokes about the Irish going to jail and loving drinking.<\/p>\n

Biden attended the Friends of Ireland Luncheon with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar Friday where the three gave speeches on their shared Irish heritage and friendship between the two nations.<\/p>\n

When it was his turn to speak, Biden joked about visiting Ireland and seeing his family members there, “There are so many and they actually weren’t in jail.”<\/p>\n

He also mentioned going to Finnegan’s Pub, which he said was related to his family. “I\u2019m the only Irishman you\u2019ve ever met though that\u2019s never had a drink, so, I’m OK,” he quipped. “I\u2019m really not Irish.”<\/p>\n

Biden has made disparaging jokes about his Irish heritage before. In December, Biden said during a veterans town hall, “I may be Irish, but I’m not stupid,<\/a>” insisting he\u2019s got “a little Italian” in him because his wife\u2019s family is Italian. Though many internet users panned the comments as being in poor taste.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last St. Patrick’s Day, he began his remarks with the same joke, saying, “Well, I just want you to know, I may be Irish, but I’m not stupid,” Biden continued. “I married Dominic Giacoppa’s daughter.”<\/p>\n

Former Obama Defense Secretary Leon Panetta offered Biden’s Irish heritage<\/a> as an excuse for a gaffe the president had made last March while overseas. Biden said Russian President Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power.” The comments were later walked back by the White House.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I happen to think that Joe Biden, you know, he\u2019s Irish, really has a great deal of compassion when he sees that people are suffering. And I think it overwhelmed him in the sense of seeing all of the horrors that were resulting from this war,” Panetta said at the time.<\/p>\n

Biden was also skewered<\/a> this week as the “world\u2019s worst Catholic” for cheapening Irish and Catholic identity by a writer for The UK Telegraph.<\/p>\n

“President Joe Biden\u2019s self-delusion seems to be boundless. When he looks in the mirror, he apparently sees an upright Irish Catholic true to the historic values of his deeply rooted religious identity,” Ruth Dudley Edwards wrote in the Telegraph. “He is, in fact, an appalling Catholic who publicly flouts the church\u2019s most cherished teachings and is about as authentically Irish as a leprechaun hat in a St Patrick\u2019s Day parade.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
