Joe Biden had the most cringeworthy tweet this weekend about Obama, so much so that even some on his side questioned it:
Happy #BestFriendsDay to my friend, @BarackObama. pic.twitter.com/JTd1t7NtyL

That’s like something you’d see form a parody account, but this was no parody account. Wow.
Obama’s former right-hand man David Axelrod couldn’t believe it:
This is a joke, right?

David Axelrod was just questioning whether Biden can go the distance after his flip-flop last week. I’m pretty sure this tweet didn’t help matters for Biden.
Here’s some other tweets of sincere disbelief:
This is just embarrassing. https://t.co/vCHHoAMn8r

When my 11-year-old does this, it’s heartwarming. Biden is 76 and it’s cringey. https://t.co/ThYfHzBROl

Whose idea was this? Unless an endorsement from the former president is already baked in, fire the staffer. https://t.co/LN7nYH9yaN

The woke and youthification of Biden is cringe inducing and I can’t turn away. https://t.co/5SJGPFpVOq

Did Trump ask the Russians to hack Biden’s Twitter account and I missed it somehow? https://t.co/Bb5QvRetK7

Honestly I can’t believe the tweet is still up. Hopefully it doesn’t get taken down soon, but I better get some screenshots just in case.
