President Joe Biden warmly greeted far left despot New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to the White House on Tuesday. He wanted to know her views on gun control and online censorship in her country.
โWe need your guidance,โ Biden told Ardern to the Oval Office. โAnd itโs a pleasure to see you in person.โ
The only advice he needs is from a constitutional attorney.
He praised her on issues like climate change, combatting โviolent extremism online,โ and gun control.
Biden said,ย โYou understand that your leadership has taken a critical role on this global change, it really has.โ
โI want to work with you on that effort and I want to talk with you about what those conversations are like if youโre willing,โ Biden said.
Biden said he is distressed by the mass shootings .
โThereโs an expression by an Irish poet that says too long a suffering makes a stone of the heart.โ He falsely claimed he has traveled to more โmass shooting aftermathsโ than any president in American history.
It’s a line poem by Yeats and it actually reads,ย Too long a sacrifice Can make a stone of the heart.ย
He added,ย โMuch of it is preventable, and the devastation is amazing.โ
The shootings stem from mental illness and gangs, not guns.
A week after the Texas school massacre, President Joe Biden met with New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on the gun violence epidemic and praised her success in curbing extremism following a 2019 mass shooting there. https://t.co/76IJsrSK4l pic.twitter.com/zrplBHLl2W
