Johnny Carson’s Throwback Roast: Joe Biden’s Plagiarism Woes Resurface

Resurfaced footage from 36 years ago depicts Johnny Carson calling out then-Senator Joe Biden for allegedly plagiarizing speeches, notably from Neil Kinnock and Bobby Kennedy.

Carson humorously quipped about Biden’s reassurances to his staff, reminiscent of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s famous quote. Social media users revived discussions on Biden’s past controversies, lamenting the decline of late-night comedy.

While Biden’s speech plagiarism led to his withdrawal from a previous race, current concerns focus on his mental and physical fitness for the presidency.

Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report highlighted Biden’s age and memory issues, suggesting challenges in prosecuting him for alleged felonies due to potential juror sympathy.
