While chatting with Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) after the State of the Union address, President Joe Biden was caught on a hot mic saying Benjamin Netanyahu needs a “come to Jesus meeting.”
Biden was quickly cut off by a staffer, but not before he finished the comment.
“I told him, ‘Bibi’ — and don’t repeat this, but ‘You and I are going to have a come to Jesus—’,” Biden began as an aide rushed over to stop him from saying more, exclaiming “Sir!” and whispering in his ear.
“I’m on a hot mic here,” Biden said adding “Good. That was good.”
Secretary of State Antony Blinken was withing earshot as well.
