WASHINGTON– Immediately after That ’70s Show actor Danny Masterson was sentenced by a judge to 30 years to life in prison for raping two women, President Joe Biden gave a heartwarming speech in defense of the disgraced Hollywood star saying that he could have been his own son.
With tears in his wrinkled eyes, Biden held up a photo of Masterson and said the actor reminded him of himself when he was a young politician who was also very fond of the pretty ladies.
“When I saw that poor boy in court I said that could have been my son,” said Biden of Masterson in a speech similar to Barack Obama’s 2013 Trayvon Martin speech. “I guess what I’m trying to say is that uh, that Donald Michelson actor who was unjustly convicted because of his race could’ve been me 40 years ago.”
Biden went on to say that if he had a son he would have looked exactly like Masterson, apparently not remembering that he already had two sons, Beau and the respectable gas merchant Hunter.
“I’d like to congratulate the parents of Danny for having such a passionate son,” said Biden before wondering off the stage in the middle of his speech.
The president’s speech was reminiscent of his 2020 statement regarding the conviction of Harvey Weinstein, saying the Hollywood mogul reminded him of the brother he wished he had.
