The 80-year-old even managed a slight jog on his way to the podium where he delivered a moving speech to more than 10,000 people
Thousands of people lined the streets of Ballina, Co Mayo last night to watch the 46th President of the United States Joe Biden deliver a rousing speech in the hometown of his ancestors, but many more RTE viewers were distracted by one detail of the event.
The raucous tune has been used by many a fighter to enter the ring over the years and the sight of Joe Biden walking, arms raised, down a slight ramp to the stage in front of St Muredach's Cathedral reminded some viewers of the WWE.The 80-year-old even managed a slight jog on his way to the podium where he delivered a moving speech to more than 25,000 people, evening chanting 'Mayo for Sam' at the end.
He wrote: "Biden entering the stage to Dropkick Murphys' like he’s about to win the Royal Rumble is without doubt the highlight of this entire week." President Biden said that it was his “dream to bring his family to Ireland” and he got to do that in 2017.
