Stephen Colbert pokes fun at President Biden’s bizarre Easter Egg Roll gaffe

President Biden’s bizarre response in an interview during the White House’s Easter Egg Roll prompted renewed discussion over his mental acuity — even from “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert, who poked fun at the gaffe.

Biden struggled and stumbled over his words during the Monday interview when he told “Today” show meteorologist Al Roker he plans to run for re-election next year, though is “not prepared to announce it yet.”

“I plan on at least three or four more Easter Egg Rolls,” Biden chuckled. “Maybe five. Maybe six, what the hell? I don’t know.”

When Roker pressed the president to formally confirm his campaign plans, Biden blundered: “I’ll either be rolling an egg or end up being the guy who’s pushing ’em out.”

The gaffe was a perfect set-up for Colbert, who joked that the statement could be an indication of the president’s floundering mental fitness.

“That’s right, Jack! I got big Easter news: Joe Biden can lay eggs. Easy as pie. No, I push ’em right out the cloaca. Serve ’em up scrambled, or sit on ’em for a while, raise a beautiful flock of little baby Joes, ‘peep, peep, peep,’” Colbert said, while sporting a pair of aviator sunglasses Biden routinely wears.

“Point is, I am mentally fit to once again run for President of the United States. What’s goin’ on? Where’s Jill? Marco! Jill-o!”

Biden’s presidency has been plagued with concerns that the 80-year-old is no longer fit for office, a worry that has only been exacerbated by his consistent gaffes.

In February, a poll proved that 57% of voters have doubts about the aging politician’s cognitive acuity. 

Biden — the oldest US president in history — passed his annual physical exam with flying colors, but the report suspiciously lacked any details about his mental capabilities.

Biden’s mental fitness came under intense scrutiny when he asked “Where’s Jackie?” and searched for the late Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.) in September, despite publicly mourning her death and even calling her family to offer his condolences in August.

Biden has publicly referred to his vice president, Kamala Harris, as the “president” at least six times and welcomed former President Bill Clinton back to “Congress” while delivering remarks at the White House earlier this year.
