Actor Mark Hamill crashed Friday's White House press briefing-- the day before STAR WARS Day (May the Fourth)-- and instead of taking questions about
the popular Sci-Fi/Fantasy franchise, all he wanted to do was gush about President Joe Biden.
Hamill, who played the role of Jedi Luke Skywalker in George Lucas' original trilogy, joined White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre at the lectern
and told reporters how happy he had been to meet the president's staff.
He opened with a joke, saying that when Biden had invited the actor to call him "Joe," he'd asked whether he could call him "Joe-Bi-Wan-Kenobi".

"Look, it's all good," Hamill continued, praising Biden's staff and raving about how much work the president did day-to-day. "I mean, I was really thrilled to meet the entire staff because, you know, it's not just one person. It's like a composite endeavor and all these people, my goodness, you
know, I mean, I have no idea-- I had no idea. Just what went into what is
on his plate on a daily basis."
"So, that's pretty much it. I/m open to questions, although no Star Wars questions, please," Hamill concluded.
"Hamill was born in 1951," Mike Cote pointed out in an X post. "Even for his personal politics, Biden isn't remotely close to the most legislatively successful president of his lifetime. LBJ, anyone? Very sad to see a Jedi turn into a Sith before our eyes."

Why the fuck do you think you're even there, Mark? You think if it
wasn't for STAR WARS you'd have been invited to the White House and
standing at the podium in the press briefing room? But now you don't
want any STAR WARS questions as if the reason they brought you there is because being an actor makes you some kind of brilliant policy advisor
or something?

Effa needs to contact Cote and tell him how wrong he is. Doesn't he know Biden is the best president in American history? Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson... nothing compared to Grandpa Badfinger!
