What are you talking about, Joe?!
During Monday’s celebration of the Persian New Year in the East Room of the White House, President Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden hosted tar player Sahba Motallebi and singer Rana Mansour —and then things got weird when Joe claimed he was a “student of Persian culture.”
That’s a new one.
“The Persian culture is amazing,” Biden said after several musical performances.
“As a student of Persian culture,” he continued, which appeared to catch the attention of his wife. “Not as a practitioner, but as a student, it’s incredible where the world is and where the world would have been without the Persian culture. I really mean it.”
