President Biden brought the jokes to the White House Correspondents Dinner and had a few special ones for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

The President said, “Folks, it’s wonderful to be back here again. Proving I haven’t learned a thing. Okay, I want everyone to have fun tonight, but please be safe if you find yourself disoriented or confused, either you’re drunk or Marjorie Taylor Greene.”
Biden’s Kevin McCarthy jokes:

The President said, “The speaker is trying to claim a big win this week, but the last time Republicans voted on something that hapless, it took 15 tries.”
It was a joke, but there was a definite message in there. Kevin McCarthy is not going to win on the debt limit. His symbolic bill that he is trying to claim is a victory is not fooling anyone, especially the President Of The United States.
Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks of herself as a power player, but she’s a punchline.
Biden closed his remarks with an appearance from Dark Brandon:

The Let’s go Brandon attack is another tactic that has completely backfired on Republicans. President Biden was in good form at the White House Correspondents Dinner and didn’t fear throwing a few sharp jabs in the name of fun.
