AMAC Exclusive – By Shane Harris
Joe Biden hasn’t exactly lived up to his promise to bring “honor and decency to the White House.”
The most recent embarrassment at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was, of course, the cocaine scandal that came to an anti-climactic resolution earlier this month when the Secret Service announced that they were “not able” to “single out a person of interest” due to lack of evidence.
But that explanation only added to the humiliation for Joe Biden – after all, what kind of White House is he running when someone can sneak an illegal narcotic in and not get caught? The incident also raised a number of uncomfortable questions for the president given that his son Hunter is a known drug addict.
Last month, Hunter was the subject of another awkward White House episode when the scandal-ridden First Son was spotted at a state dinner held in honor of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland was also in attendance – just hours after new evidence emerged of an alleged coverup by Garland’s Justice Department in the criminal investigation into Hunter, and two days after the DOJ reached a plea agreement with the younger Biden over tax fraud and gun charges.
Conservative podcaster Michael Duncan compared the incident to “Bill Clinton bringing Monica Lewinsky to a family dinner,” while even some Democrats raised eyebrows at the decision to invite Hunter.
Outside of the First Family, Joe Biden’s other invited guests have similarly disgraced the grounds where Thomas Jefferson and Meriweather Lewis once planned a bold expedition into the new Louisiana Territory, where Union soldiers sat watch over President Lincoln during the Civil War, and where Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt met in the days after Pearl Harbor to coordinate the Allied war effort.
Now, it’s quite a different crowd strolling the South Lawn. During a “pride” event last month, for instance, transgender activist Rose Montoya filmed a video topless in front of the Truman Balcony.
The clip of the bare-breasted 27-year-old quickly went viral on social media, drawing backlash from Republicans and Democrats alike. Eventually, even Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was forced to condemn Montoya’s actions – admitting that the incident was indeed unbecoming of a White House event.
While Montoya grabbed most of the headlines from that event, several veterans groups also took issue with the decision to display a giant “pride progress” flag in between two American flags on the White House’s South Portico. As the groups pointed out, according to the U.S. Flag Code, Old Glory “should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed.”
Undoubtedly the most obnoxious example of the Biden administration’s debasement of the White House has been the flood of social media influencers to the executive mansion. Over the past two years, Biden has recruited stars from platforms like Twitch and TikTok to help spread his message on everything from the COVID-19 vaccine to the Ukraine war.
In one particularly cringe-worthy example from August of 2021, a TikTok influencer who goes by the name “Benny Drama” uploaded a video shot at the White House featuring then-press secretary Jen Psaki. In the clip, Drama adopts the character of “Kooper the Gen Z Intern,” who prances around the West Wing in a white skirt and fake acrylic nails, referring to Psaki as “Jenny.” At one point, Drama runs down a hallway screaming, “We did it, Joe!”
Then there is Joe Biden himself. For the soon-to-be 81-year-old president who is in a clear state of cognitive decline, the embarrassing White House moments are equal parts sad, amusing, and terrifying.
During Biden’s first Easter Egg Roll in April of 2022, for example, a staffer dressed as the Easter Bunny intervened to prevent Biden from answering a reporter’s question on Afghanistan. The best answer we ever got for as to why Biden wasn’t able to comment on an important foreign policy issue is that he was needed to start another round of the egg-rolling competition.
And of course, there are the many, many, many gaffes, stumbles, and incidents of the president aimlessly wandering about – too many to begin to mention in detail here – as he bumbles his way around the few White House events he actually attends.
Just over halfway through his first term, it seems safe to say that Joe Biden has disgraced the White House more than any of its 43 previous occupants.

The biden family is disgusting. worse then the Clinton’s and that takes some doing.
You leftists who committed voter fraud for this hellish president deserve to be in prison.
When Obama vacated the White House in 2021, I said an exorcism should have been performed. When Biden and crew leave, it’s going to be necessary to fumigate and disinfect the entire place.
Let’s hope we never see another president the likes of him again
When Trump wins back the White House, he’d better have the best cocaine sniffing dogs he can find go through every square inch of the place before he goes near it or steps foot on the grounds. If he doesn’t, I can guarantee there will be drugs “found” in some family area very soon after he takes up the reins again and the bureaucrats will certainly verify it came from a Trump family member. The place is a snake pit.
We are a laughing stock in the world due to the Bidens Top place Joe and next his laughable son. So embarrassed for our beautiful country
By doing what is necessary to keep the spirit of respect for the ideals of Faith, Family and Freedom going at all times, that will help to fix what needs to be fixed. Truth has a way of getting situations right side up again, after being turned upside down. Truth and respect for Liberty are closely connected. Maintaining a respectful, uplifting sense of humor, using clean language — can be of great importance. Remembering the significant parts of the history of the the United States of America, there is plenty to think about that is inspirational and provide foundation for new ideas , new approaches to dealing with present challenges. Holding on to hope , and realizing a sense of purpose and having a code of conduct to live by. Having respect for the will of God. With Courage, and developing a high level of intelligence, and being resourceful , the things that need improvement will be improved. In the spirit of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness, In the spirit of the principles of Honor, Honesty, Integrity Courage and Loyalty, those things that are Good will prevail.

It’s like a nightmare seeing these clowns who claimed that the adults are back in charge of our once greatest republic ever. Absolutely disgusting and America is feeling the embarrassment from all over the world. President Trump needs to take the reigns once again to finish up where he left off in 2020. Prayers that the election is fair and all of Trumps indictments fall flat where they need to.
I think he definitely lives up to earning his nickname: Jack*ss Joe!
I believe the cocaine belonged to Hunter but who to say that they haven’t been giving it to Joe to make him look alert. Just my opinion. This is the worst President in the history of the US. We are the laughing stock of the whole world. America is not great any more. Time to kick these dam Democrats out of office.
Now that the walls are closing in on Biden, the repubs are beginning to flinch as usualby saying ” well there’s nothing we can really do (total BS) and we just have to win the next election. Bla-bla This cowardice tells us that Jim Jordan and Comer have wasted their time over the past 2-3 months as their party is telling them that they will not support impeachment.
Contrast that to the dims who would have impeached Trump 10 times if they could have.
When the Repubs put the crook Biden in the vise they suddenly get lazy and become cowards. How can I vote for these cowards ? Do I have an option ? 3rd party ?
Maybe. Or just don’t vote because 98% of DC, including congress, are clones. Why is this article published ? What’s the point ? Nothing will change. My time is better spent staring out the window than reading ANY form of media. At the end of the day, media accomplishes nothing though we seem to think it does. Sad, really
Obama the druggy and destroyer started this massacre of our country, woke and using Biden who is brain dead as his puppet.
How much lower can the evil Dems go?
Sloppy has disgraced more than the White House. We are a disgrace all over the world. Kings and world leaders have to hold him up and steer him in the right direction. And if he isn’t breaking protocols he goes and nibbles on a little girl he doesn’t know and who is scared to death of him. And he does not apologize to her. After all he got his jollies, this man is sick
Disgraced is putting it quite mildly but what other words do we use??? Debased, degraded, or better yet, instead of White House, let’s call it White Trash. Because, to be quite honest, that is exactly the type of antics white trash would perpetrate. We are no longer a proud country but a laughing stock to the entire world. And I am embarrassed. (and very angry)
good job on highlighting the insanity of it all with Biden in the White House. Pathetic and scary all at the same time.
Who were the other 2 that disgraced the White House!?
The Biden’s in the White House are nothing but trailer trash at best, and traitors at worst.
Come on, Joe is a dog lover, you know that! After all, he gives his dogs Christmas stockings while he snubbed his son’s child, Navy for four years, giving his son time to be forced by the court to submitt to DNA testing and face his oblation.Oh, right. Joe loves his only remaining son so much he helped him snub his daughter for four years. After all in Joe’s family blood is only red water, you know what I mean?Look what Joe has done for his son. He has given him all the business and personal corruption he could handle. After all, it is important to give you child corruption encouragement instead of medical help for their addictions!Shame on every American that voted for Joe Biden. You gave away your rights as Americans for this! Shame, shame, shame!
Did you really mean to say that Biden embarrassed himself more than he previous 43 presidents? Did you mean 45? Or was that a dig to Trump?
Not to mention the many obvious lies that Biden tells and the press just ignores it.
There’s nothing honorable or decent about this old swamp rat. The die hard democrat voter is deaf and blind.
And, don’t forget, all the “dog bite” incidents and “doggie accidents” in this WH!
Welcome to the New Roman Orgy.
