South Korean President Yoon Caught on Hot Mic Calling Congress ‘F*ckers’ Who Could ‘Humiliate’ Biden Following Joe Biden’s UN Speech
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol was caught on a hot mic calling Congress ‘f*ckers’ who could humiliate Joe Biden in response to Biden’s UN speech.
Joe Biden this week delivered remarks before the 77th session of the United Nations General Assembly.
Biden pledged to increased the US’s contribution to the UN Global fund.
After mumbling through remarks, Biden thanked the world leaders for their ‘tolerance’ for listening to him.
“Thank you for tolerance for listening to me, I appreciate it very much,” Biden said.
What an embarrassment.
The whole world knows Joe Biden is a joke.
South Korean President Yoon was caught on a hot mic responding to Biden’s pledge to contribute more to the UN Global Fund: “How could Biden not lose damn face if these f-ckers do not pass it in Congress?”
Yoon’s aides tried to do some damage control.
“He wasn’t speaking publicly on the stage but in passing, and although I don’t know who recorded it and how, I actually think it should be verified,” a South Korean official told reporters afterward, according to Yonhap.
Fox News reported:
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol went viral for his hot mic reaction to President Biden’s remarks at the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday.
Yoon, who took office in May, reacted to Biden’s pledge to increase the U.S. contribution to the U.N. Global Fund, which would require congressional approval.
“How could Biden not lose damn face if these f—ers do not pass it in Congress?” Yoon asked his aides on a hot mic Wednesday, according to the South China Morning Post.
Biden has repeated the talking point that America has been respected again on the world stage since his election in 2020.
Yoon’s comments raised concern in his home country — strong U.S.-Korean relations are pivotal for mutual defense in the East Asian region.
“He wasn’t speaking publicly on the stage but in passing, and although I don’t know who recorded it and how, I actually think it should be verified,” a South Korean official told reporters afterward, according to Yonhap.
“I think it’s highly inappropriate to draw a link between private remarks and diplomatic accomplishments,” the official added, referring to criticism that Yoon had created a diplomatic disaster. “It’s quite regrettable that a diplomatic disaster is being talked about over something like that when he is doing everything to complete a demanding schedule in the national interest of the Republic of Korea.”
