As we told you yesterday, having solved all other problems, President Biden met at the White House with Star Wars actor Mark Hamill. If you could have harnessed the amount of cringe that took place you’d have enough power to blow up Alderaan:

But at least Biden and the Democrats know they can always count on the Associated Press to carry some water.

“Hilarious”? Does the AP know what that word means?

Amazingly, the Associated Press doesn’t throw out their backs carrying this much water for Biden and the Democrats:
The media actually thinks this was a win for Biden. https://t.co/BCwMYkjV98

Turning something into a “win for Biden” is an impossible task but the AP’s always up for at least making the effort.
The cringe. There are no words. There. Are. No. Words. https://t.co/iphvY4xDVN pic.twitter.com/dS5FsbSPSV

An actual “journalism” outlet might highlight the incredibly out-of-whack “priorities” from the Biden White House.
We have mass protests across the country, we have 2 wars that our government is funding abroad, our cities are crumbling but let’s get Mark Hamill talking Star Wars with Biden, awesome TikTok material https://t.co/yHraXD1Ks4

“Fiddling while Rome burns” doesn’t even begin to describe it.
“legend”
Mark Hamill is so irrelevant that The Simpsons made fun of him for it back in 1998.No matter how much you think you hate the media, it’s not enough.

This might be the cringiest thing I’ve ever seen from the WH press room podium. What were they thinking? https://t.co/KnXhWl1ZP8

The White House knew that no matter how cringe-y the event they’d still get lavish praise from their partners in the media.
