Right-Wing Media Melts Down Over Biden's Root Canal

By Conover Kennard — June 14, 2023

#BreakingNews!!! You heard it here first. President Joe Biden had to get a root canal, which never happens to anyone. The right-wing media, Fox News, the Daily Caller, etc., are having a freakout moment.

One reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre If Biden is "not good at brushing his teeth" and "Does he need to floss better?"

Fox News's Hillary Vaughn asked California Rep. Katie Porter about Biden taking off work for a root canal. "Do you think he has the stamina for a second term?" she asked.

Porter responded, "Have you ever had a root canal?"

Fox News's Brian Kilmeade was aghast that Vice President Kamala Harris was the president (she wasn't, because Biden was under local anesthesia) for a brief period. Fox News's Jimmy Failla was amazed that Biden still has his natural teeth, and he tried to link root-canal-gate to Ukraine. Then he tried to say that because Biden eats ice cream, that makes him look like an easily bribed person.
