Bush was additionally recognized for his whimsical footwear.

Whereas she accompanied the vapid remark with a semi-apology – “there are many extra substantive issues to tweet about however we will have some enjoyable generally too” – Epstein was shredded on Twitter for nearly actually licking Biden’s boots.

Many of the responses centered on the deep gulf between heat, fuzzy protection of Biden and journalistic Trump Derangement Syndrome.

“If Trump wore these identical socks you’d most likely write ‘Trump wears blue socks. Why it’s problematic that Hitler as soon as wore the colour blue as nicely,’” one consumer snarked.

Even White Home Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany acquired in on the motion, mocking the extent of “reporting” directed at her boss’ rival.
