Joe Biden didn't hold back with his brutal jokes during the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner.
The 80-year-old president of the United States hosted the event on Saturday, which is held in support of the WH press corps, scholarships for aspiring journalists, and awards that spotlight important work in political journalism.
This is the second White House Correspondents' Association dinner in two years. The 2020 and 2021 events were canceled due to the pandemic.
During this year's address, the oldest president in American history shared some hilarious one-liners at the expense of public figures and political opponents.
Watch Biden's WHCD speech below:Before roasting others, Biden stated some self-deprecating about his age. He said: "Look, I get that age is a completely reasonable issue," referencing The New York Times' insults.
"You might think I don't like Rupert Murdoch. That's simply not true. How can I dislike a guy who makes me look like Harry Styles?" he continued. "Call me 'old?' I call it being seasoned. You say 'I'm ancient,' I say I'm wise."
"You say 'I'm over the hill,' Don Lemon would say that's a man in his prime," he concluded, which caused an uproar of laughter and cheers in the audience.
In case you don't understand Biden's reference, last week CNN abruptly announced that the 57-year-old journalist has been fired. His layoff comes months after he faced backlash for saying Nikki Haley - the 51-year-old former governor of South Carolina and 2024 presidential candidate - was no longer "in her prime".
In addition to this, the POTUS also mocked another recently fired journalist while talking about his bid White House. He said: "The job isn’t finished... I mean it is finished for Tucker Carlson," which was met with some groans and laughter from the audience.
Carlson is Biden's longtime critic and was recently and suddenly released from his contract with Fox News.
Biden also poked fun at his fellow politicians by beginning with Marjorie Taylor Greene, a far-right congresswoman from Georgia. He quipped: "I want everybody to have fun tonight but please be safe. If you find yourself disoriented or confused, it’s either you’re drunk or Marjorie Taylor Greene."
The president also joked about Florida governor Ron DeSantis's battle with Disney by saying: "I had a lot of Ron DeSantis jokes ready but Mickey Mouse beat the hell out of me and got there first."
"Can't be too hard on the guy," he continued to joke. "After his reelection as governor, he was asked if had a mandate. He said, 'Hell no, I'm straight! I'm straight!'
On April 25, Biden formally announced on social media that he will be running for a second term as president.
In a statement, President Biden said: "Every generation has a moment where they have had to stand up for democracy. To stand up for their fundamental freedoms. I believe this is ours. That’s why I’m running for reelection as President of the United States. Join us. Let’s finish the job."
The elections are set to take place in 2024.
