Jill Biden’s Surprising New Role [WATCH]

The Washington Free Beacon has named Jill Biden as its “Man of the Year,” a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the state of the Biden-Harris administration.

The conservative outlet’s annual award is known for its satirical take on political and cultural figures, and this year’s recognition of the First Lady is no exception.

In its announcement, the Free Beacon stated the award was bestowed upon the “person who has actually been running the country the whole time.”

The publication described its rationale in colorful language, critiquing Joe Biden’s capacity to fulfill his duties during his term in office.

“The ‘official record’ will reflect that Joe Biden served as the 46th president of the United States between 2021 and 2025 (assuming he lives to see the new year), which is why you should never believe anything you read in a history book,” the outlet wrote. “The American people know the truth. Sleepy Joe has been scientifically dead for at least two years, if not longer.”

The Free Beacon humorously credited Jill Biden for assuming significant responsibility during her husband’s presidency.

The satirical commentary highlighted her role in supporting her husband amidst widespread speculation about his mental acuity and physical health.

“That’s why we’re giving this coveted Washington Free Beacon Man of the Year award to the person who has actually been running the country this whole time: Jill Biden, America’s desperate housewife,” the outlet added.

The piece went on to acknowledge Jill Biden’s insistence on being addressed as “Dr. Jill Biden,” a title stemming from her doctorate in education.

While initially mocked by critics, the Free Beacon suggested her hands-on role in managing Joe Biden’s well-being over the years has earned her the designation.

“Considering the actual experience she’s accumulated in the field of home health care these past few years—giving sponge baths, changing bedpans, and administering the military-grade narcotics that allowed our nominal leader to present as semi-coherent in public settings—we feel she’s earned it,” the article continued.

The Free Beacon also alluded to the challenges Jill Biden has faced within her own family.

The outlet referenced publicized text messages from Hunter Biden, the president’s son, in which he reportedly used offensive language to describe his stepmother.

The award is part of the Washington Free Beacon’s annual tradition of mixing satire with sharp political commentary, often targeting high-profile figures in government and media.

While its tone is unmistakably irreverent, the article reflects broader conservative skepticism about Joe Biden’s leadership and the role his wife may play behind the scenes.

The White House has not commented on the satirical award.

Jill Biden, a longtime educator and advocate for military families, has consistently played a visible role in her husband’s administration, often accompanying him on official trips and events.

The Washington Free Beacon’s “Man of the Year” award continues to draw attention for its humorous yet pointed critiques, reinforcing the outlet’s reputation for blending wit with political commentary.
