President Joe Biden made a crack at Republicans at the traditional White House ceremony to pardon Thanksgiving turkeys.
President Joe Biden pardoned the official Thanksgiving turkeys on Monday — and in the process made a series of « Dad » jokes at the expense of Republicans for falling well short of expectations in the midterm elections.
« The votes are in. They’ve been counted and verified. There’s been no ballot stuffing, there’s been no fowl play, » Biden punned at the White House as he granted presidential reprieves to the turkeys, named Chocolate and Chip.
« The only red wave this season will be if our German shepherd Commander knocks over the cranberry sauce at our table, » the Democratic president quipped.
Chocolate and Chip are guaranteed not to be eaten this holiday season due to what have become traditional annual presidential pardons for would-be Thanksgiving main courses.
The birds will live out their days back in their home state, at the University of North Carolina.
