President Joe Biden was called out by one of his fellow Democrats on Wednesday night for ordering Maine lobster for tonight’s state dinner with the French president – while rolling out regulations making it harder for everyday Americans to get their hands on the luxury food.
Democrat Rep. Jared Golden of Maine’s 2nd Congressional District was responding to a report that 200 live lobsters were sent to the White House for the Thursday night event.
He demanded that Biden meet with lobster fishermen to discuss the new fishing rules – which the moderate congressman warned could put them ‘out of business.’
In an added shot, he also dismissed the event honoring the United States’ oldest ally as just a ‘fancy dinner.’
Biden is hosting his first state dinner as president, welcoming France’s leader Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte to the White House on Thursday night.
The red-white-and-blue theme looks to be showcasing the best in American fare, with wine sourced from California’s Napa Valley and cheeses from Wisconsin and Oregon.
Among the glamorous dinner’s marquee items is butter-poached Maine lobster – a delicacy both in the US and France, but one that is set to become much more difficult for regular Americans to acquire.
‘If the Biden White House can prioritize purchasing 200 Maine lobsters for a fancy dinner,’ Golden said on Wednesday night, he ‘should also take the time to meet with the Maine lobstermen his administration is currently regulating out of business.’
While he Ruins America he eats LOBSTER !!!!!
With his mouth full of lobster, he says………”Let them eat cake”.
