Biden Jokes About Boeing With Stephen Colbert At Campaign Reception
HuffPost
“I don’t sit by the door,” the president said about the Boeing-owned Air Force One aircraft.
President Joe Biden made a joke about Boeing during a campaign reception on Thursday in New York.
During a discussion at the reception with Biden and former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, talk show host and moderator Stephen Colbert posed a question about the three men’s experiences riding on Air Force One, the Boeing jet that presidents usually fly on.
“All three of you have been on Air Force One. You still have the keys, Mr. Biden. That’s made by Boeing, right? Do those doors stay on? Before you get on, do you send [over] Pete Buttigieg with a socket wrench set to tighten them?” Colbert asked.
In response, Biden quipped: “I don’t sit by the door.”
As the audience laughed and applauded, he continued, “Obviously, I’m only kidding. And I shouldn’t even joke about it. I shouldn’t even joke.”
