President Joe Biden is raising eyebrows after a message he sent to young visitors at the White House.
During an event at the White House on Wednesday to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act, the president addressed children who were in attendance.
“I wanna say one thing to your children. I know some really great ice cream places around here and daddy owes you,” Biden said.
He added, “So talk to me afterwards.”
