Babbling Biden tells the Connecticut crowd ‘God save the queen, man’ at the end of a mind-boggling speech in which he joked he was 110 and said, ‘Don’t make me a lying dog-faced pony soldier’
- President Joe Biden headlined Friday’s National Safety Communities Summit in West Hartford, Connecticut
- Biden expressed outrage at the problem of gun violence in the US, but also deployed several Bidenisms
- He told the crowd ‘God save the queen’, joked he was 110 years old and said ‘don’t make me a dog-headed lying pony soldier’
A babbling President Joe Biden delivered a speech on Friday in which he joked he was 110, told the crowd, “God save the queen,” and put in some of his biggest hits – like the words, ‘don’t make me a dog-headed lying pony soldier’.
Biden visited West Hartford, Connecticut to head up the National Safety Communities Summit, a gun control event where he was introduced by Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, a longtime advocate of the issue.
Biden expressed his horror that there are victims of gun violence “every damn day in America!” while again pushing to ban AR-15s and implement several other gun control measures.
“Folks, it’s about time we banned AR-15 rifles … high-capacity magazines,” he said. He also pushed for universal background checks.
“Many of you are tired. You are tired. No, I get it. Try to be 110 and do it again,” he said with a laugh. “All kidding aside, a lot of people are frustrated.”
A babbling President Joe Biden delivered a speech on Friday in which he joked he was 110, told the crowd “God save the queen” and used some of his greatest hits — like the verbiage, “Don’t make me a lying dog-faced pony soldier.”
He also pointed out how he had asked for more money in his budget to go after arms dealers.
“By the way, do you know what I get when I talk about fentanyl and stuff at the border? I’m speaking with the president of Mexico. Will you stop sending weapons to us? We send dangerous weapons, especially assault weapons, to Mexico – to Mexico!’ he said.
“They ask us, please stop it. Cut it off at the border. What the hell will we become if we don’t do this,” the president added.
The president promised “never, never, never, never, never” to give in on this issue.
While giving a meandering mention of the Violence Against Women Act, he talked about how domestic violence was the “ultimate abuse, abuse of power.”
“My dad always said the worst abuse of all was abuse of power,” Biden continued — a line Republicans dreaded online.
At the end of the speech, Biden told the crowd that he could not stay due to an approaching storm.
He then went to Greenwich, Connecticut for a political fundraiser.
“Is that right, is that still the deal?” he said, looking at his assistants.
The audience – consisting of a number of young activists – shouted back: ‘Nooooo!’
“That’s the truth, don’t lie now,” he continued. “Like that scene in the John Wayne movie, don’t make me a dog-headed lying pony soldier.”
He had previously deployed a similar line at a 2020 campaign event in New Hampshire — a bizarre moment that went viral.
He then proceeded to tell the group “God save the queen,” before leaving the stage to take photos with the contestants.
The pool reporter who chronicled the trip sent a note to the press saying he and the other reporters had “no idea” why the president mentioned the Queen, who has been dead since September.
