Biden Receives MAGA Backlash After Saying Black Man Looks Like Barack Obama

  • Former President Joe Biden joked at Syracuse University that Jeffrey M. Scruggs resembled former President Barack Obama and called him to the stage during a portrait unveiling event.
  • The exchange drew mixed reactions online, with some agreeing Scruggs resembled Obama while others criticized the remark as racially insensitive.
  • Scruggs reportedly told Biden backstage that his daughter asked if he resembled Obama, and Biden affirmed the resemblance during the event.
  • The event reflected a pattern of Biden's off-the-cuff remarks that have sometimes sparked controversy but were not seen as malicious in this instance.
