  1. The guy that said he’s Irish but not stupid? Wtf?

  2. Biden is really weak and pathetic looking president. Oh man. The stupidity.

  3. If McCarthy had any actual integrity, he would call China Joe out for claiming to be Irish, instead of endorsing the Nonsense.
    There is no McBiden clan, no O'Biden clan and no Biden clan other than the Crime Organization, which is American.
    Biden is a British surname, as are his other lines, except one, a female line four generations ago.
    Lots of Brit Families went to Ireland to oppress tfe native Irish for fun and profit.
    Joe's Biden ancestor in Ireland was a Workhouse Overseer.
    He is from a long line of trash.But he is not Irish.

  4. Corrupt Biden. Chinese operative.

  5. The Biden surname does not originate from Ireland but rather England and its meaning is ominous…"From the Shadow Valley or Place of Shadows".

  6. Joe, an Irish man raised by Puerto Ricans, goes to Synagogue more than Jews and attends a Black Church after Mass

  7. Is he drunk yet? Soon he will have relatives in jail. Must be Irish, no? Freaking POS should just go away

  8. Biden couldn't find Ireland before this bs, suddenly at 84 he remembers, just another Joe story like being a truck driver or being in a cell with Mandella It's embarrassing to see the Irish PM groveling to this manakin.

  9. What about all the US war crimes???
    Hasn't the US threatened that there will be consequences if they are brought to justice? And what happened nothing!
    Now the same game with Putin?
    Putin should be arrested and brought before the International Criminal Court.
    OK, but then also Reagen, Clinton, Bush Sr., Bush Jun., Obama, Biden, Sarkozy, Blair, etc.
    If we talk about justice, then please about justice!

    Small note: The USA, Russia, China and e.g. Israel have not recognized the International Criminal Court, so what?

  10. St Patrick's day is about celebrating the life of Christian Saint Patrick…

  11. Why? Do they both hate the British with a passion?

  12. PresBiden is mixed (pardon pun!) ancestry ; Speaker McCarthy's mom is ItalianAncestry. But if any degree of commonality can bridge the partisan divide for one day -cause for optimism? But how long can it last? Wait till next year!

  13. Biden's legacy will be as a FOOL. I can't wait until he goes to the artic (north Pole to see Santa Claus) and tells about his Inuit roots! LOL

  14. I thought Biden was black?

  15. The only thing Irish in Biden is Blarney.

  16. Kevin & Congress CONs will NOT bring back regulators to small banks.

  17. If he likes there so much maybe he should move there just saying.

  18. This is not finding common ground.

  19. They're both f@#%ing American! I got news for ya, those bloody islands are all intermixed heritage wise. Scottish, Irish, English ,Welsh…every one of us throughout the 1800 years of its history has intermingled. The only difference between them is dialects. These two yanks are puffing their chests out as if they just got off the boat from Ireland. That's the $hit they can find a camaraderie in?! I promise you both have ancestors born in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, Norway, Italy, Morocco, and Nigeria!

  20. Senator Bernie Sanders wife has relatives in North Ireland and South Ireland and the Irish people like Sanders family in Ireland

  21. What a disgusting excuse for a human being. LET'S GO BRANDON!

  22. Common ground through Irish heritage …. He needs an American Irish boot up his arse to help him back to where he came from!
    We don't need any eu coming here to dip into our back pockets!
    Let Ireland flip the bill! We are broke!

    No to Ukraine!

  23. But Biden really isn’t Irish……and after today , it’ll be back to normal . So save it

  24. Biden is neither Irish or Catholic..what a complete shill. Biden should be ashamed to show his face in public…How many people died from fentenayl across our open border today. The worst president in world history…total incompetence

  25. You were not born in Ireland, so you are not Irish.😡

  26. Irish boi here, why do they talk as if Ireland and America are trying to fix ties as if we were at war?. Unless I’m misunderstanding how they’re wording it. Americans love to claim to be Irish so I don’t understand this lol

  27. Shout out to all these incredible Irish people. Please help free Scotland
    🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙏 🇨🇮

  28. Ious goverment congress.
