Mediaite reports:
Joe Biden was interrupted twice by pranksters during a rally today, one of whom he cut down by quipping along with the prankster’s premise.
“Mr. Vice President, my wife recently left me, she is divorcing me, what can I do to get her back?” said the young man, who turned out to be Jason Selvig of the comedy duo The Good Liars.
“What advice could you give somebody like me to get her back?” Selvig asked. “I’ll talk to you afterwards okay?” Biden said, adding “I’m happy to, I promise I’ll talk to you afterwards, all right?”
“Well, could we just get this out right now because we’re, you know we’re live,” Selvig said. “No, no we’re live,” Biden said, then cracked “I’m beginning to see why your wife left you.”
The Washington Examiner reports:
“I just want to say that you’re a fine candidate, and I’m planning on settling for Biden in 2020,” said the man wearing a “Settle for Biden” shirt. “I think we should all settle for Biden. I think you could be the Hillary of 2020.”
Biden supporters shouted for the man to “sit down” before breaking into a “Let’s go Joe” chant.
“I’ll tell you what, man,” said Biden. “I thought they were exaggerating when the Republicans said they were sending out 80 people to participate in the Democratic caucus here. Well, I’m not sure who he’s with, but, hey, by the way, give us back your Joe shirt, OK?”
