I didn’t think late night hosts were allowed to make fun of their president* on late night, but that’s what Jimmy Fallon did last night.
Watch:
Fallon on Fauci saying he'll retire: "Everyone" is hoping Biden announces his retirement next pic.twitter.com/U9ooyB0LKq

What Fallon said: Meanwhile I read that Dr. Fauci said that he plans to retire by the end of President* Biden’s term. Then everyone turned to Biden like ‘is there anything you’d like to announce too?’
This was right after a joke about Biden fist bumping the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, with Fallon joking that Biden said ‘that wasn’t me trying to fistbump, that was me trying to punch him as hard as I could.’
Sure it’s all on the lighter side as humor should be. But even so for late night liberals to start joking about Biden retiring early, as if he’s now open game, reflects just how unpopular Biden has become with the American people.
