Biden bizarrely tells auto workers ‘we don’t taste that good’ before facing Gaza hecklers in Michigan

President Biden told auto-union workers in Michigan that Americans “don’t taste that good” in a bizarre aside Thursday — before being jeered by anti-Israel hecklers hours later in the critical swing state.

“Remember they told us we’re dead — manufacturing is dead in America, China is gonna eat our lunch?” Biden said an event with the United Auto Workers. “Well guess what, man? We don’t taste that good.”

Not long after, the 81-year-old commander in chief took heat from a crowd of protesters as he visited a restaurant north of Detroit with members of the UAW, which last week endorsed his reelection campaign.

“Genocide Joe: How many kids have you killed today?” protesters chanted, along with “F— Joe Biden” — repeating slogans from two large marches to the White House against Biden’s support for the Israeli invasion of Hamas-ruled Gaza following the terrorist group’s Oct. 7 slaughter of about 1,200 and abduction of about 250 others in southern Israel.

Michigan has a large Arab American population and polling indicates a large cohort of the group is considering opposing Biden over the war in Gaza.

Biden joked about Americans not tasting very good after he previously used a lunch analogy to say that China was not an economic threat — as then-President Donald Trump waged a tariffs-driven trade war in an attempt to force a beneficial trade pact with Beijing.

“China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man — they can’t even figure out how to deal with the fact that they have this great division between the China Sea and the mountains in the West,” Biden said as a candidate in 2019.

“They can’t figure out how they’re going to deal with the corruption that exists within the system. They’re not bad folks, folks… They’re not competition for us.”

After entering the White House, Biden returned to the midday meal when discussing China as he advocated for successful legislation to boost environmental and infrastructure spending.

“If we don’t get moving, they are going to eat our lunch,” Biden said in 2021. “They’re investing billions of dollars dealing with a whole range of issues that relate to transportation, the environment and a whole range of other things. We just have to step up.”
