Another day, another embarrassment due to Joe Biden’s humiliating presence in the White House:

Thursday’s Biden blunder — on the South Lawn of the White House, in front of a visiting head of state, the international news media and United States Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps — might be tough to top anytime soon.

While hosting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Biden mistook the opening strains of the Indian national anthem for “The Star-Spangled Banner,” placing his right hand over his heart with a practiced confidence, before a crestfallen [look] came over his face as the music continued.

Eventually, Biden realized that the band wasn’t playing his own country’s anthem at all, and the hand trailed back to his side.

Watch and wince:

Took him a while to realize that isn’t our anthem, despite it being standard protocol to play the visiting country’s anthem first. But hey, Biden has only been ensconced in the federal government since 1973 — half a century.

At least he didn’t croak, “God save the Queen, man” afterward.

Good thing he had the official state media to cover for him:

CBS cut away from Biden at the crucially embarrassing moment when it was clear it wasn’t “The Star-Spangled Banner” the band was playing — at first showing Biden and Modi from behind, then going to a long distance shot where Biden’s hand can be seen moving back to his side. Once Biden’s hand was safely away from the saluting position, CBS returned to its original angle like nothing ever happened.

The Easter Bunny should be there to give Creepy Joe a poke when the American anthem is played. But then, Biden is a Democrat; his allegiance is to any country but ours.
