Who’s in Charge of Joe? Biden Admits He Was Clueless About France’s Knowledge of Australia Submarine Deal Breach: “I Honest to God Did Not Know”

Earlier this month, the White House denied a comment by Biden administration climate envoy John Kerry that Biden was clueless about France’s reaction to the deal. Kerry told French outlet BFM TV, “He literally had not been aware of what had transpired.”

When pressed by Fox’ Peter Doocy about Kerry’s comment, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said about Biden, “Of course he knew about the French being displeased.”

Three weeks later Biden admitted to Macron and the media he did not know what was going on in his administration.
