Joe Biden to Giorgia Meloni: I May Be Irish But I’m Not Stupid

‘I deserve this award’

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: "I was raised in the neighborhood where I felt self-conscious my name didn't end in 'O.' I want you to know, I'm the only non-Italian named the man of the year by the Italian Society, and when I got the award, I said — everybody wanted to know what I was going to say. I was thinking about this, and I named all the guys, families I grew up with — anyway, I went through the list. I was thinking about this, 'I deserve this award.' But I — I may be Irish, but I'm not stupid. I married Dominic Giacoppa's granddaughter. I want you to know that, okay?"
