As RedState's Ben Kew reported Friday, lefty actor Mark Hamill of "Star Wars" fame made an ultra-cringe appearance at the White House press briefing and told lame jokes, shilled for the president, and just generally gave one the shivers. How’s this for comedy? He said to the president, “Can I call you Joe-B-Wan Kenobi?”
I can’t stop laughing—because I never started.

The appearance was ostensibly to mark Star Wars Day, which is celebrated on May 4th, but this being the Biden White House, they seemed to be honoring it on the 3rd.
But the cringe wasn’t done: On Saturday—which this time was at least officially the 4th—Biden posted a creepy video of himself and Hamill mugging for the camera.
Watch:
We had a very good feeling about this.

Since there are wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, an invasion at our southern border, mass pro-Hamas violence on the nation’s campuses, and soaring inflation, the internet naturally was not kind to the duo. Here’s RedState’s Bonchie:
And just like that, he ruined it https://t.co/AXrzkTXsFz

My friend, super-lawyer, and free speech advocate Julie Hamill (who I wrote about here), distanced herself from the actor:
May the Fourth be with you, and please remember that I am not now, nor have I ever been related to Mark Hamill.

Investigative reporter Drew Hernandez wasn’t impressed either:
Mark Hamill is shilling for Biden

This is peak cringe https://t.co/CRV55sTfHd
Political commentator Brilyn Hollyhand took a more serious tone, pointing out that maybe this moment in history isn't necessarily the time for our leader to be joking about Hollywood movies:
Terrorist sympathizers are shutting down college campuses and chanting “Death to America” while tearing down American flags on American soil…

Maybe tweet about that instead of Star Wars 🤷♂️ https://t.co/K0OEpDCJwm
My personal favorite, however, came from popular pro-Trump influencer Brick Suit, who noted that Biden probably already forgot what "Star Wars" is, and is once again vacationing at the beach.
The most hilarious thing is that Joe is in Delaware right now and has already forgotten he said this.

Although some of these tweets are hysterical, they also make the broader point that this president does not seem to be a serious person and is palling around with celebrities instead of focusing on the myriad problems facing this country—many of which he created. While we can mock him all we want, what we really need to do is vote him out of office.
