Seth Meyers on Thursday recalled what “might be the funniest criticism of a president I’ve ever heard.â€
And it came from Fox News’ Dana Perino.
Perino, talking with the network personality Tucker Carlson this week, tried to call out President Joe Biden for not singing “Happy Birthday†to a boy attending his State of the Union address. Biden did wish the boy well, though.
It was a “missed moment for humanity,†Perino bombastically declared.
Meyers jumped into character as the Fox host:
“He addressed the crisis in Ukraine and rising inflation, but I did miss hearing ‘Happy Birthday.’ Look, I’m not saying I needed the whole, ‘How old are you now?’ verse, that would have been overkill. But where was the song? I feel as though, clue, we’re a country without a leader.â€
