President Biden calls Betty White a 'cultural icon' in condolence tweet
I don’t think that was an act
I remember when she made a joke on a talkshow about wanting William Shatner to cum all over her. I was so shocked lmao. She had a real vulgar sense of humor which you’d never expect from her appearance, part of why she was so funny.
I was really surprised earlier when a colleague said she didn’t like Betty’s crudeness. Guess she was watching that show.
I certainly admire her honesty. I mean, a young William Shatner a la Twilight Zone could cum on me too!
Fair enough.
Why do people say "grow some balls"? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.
Betty White
Women have balls…generally they are much bigger then a mans and they are located much higher on the human totem
She didn’t say that
“"Betty White brought a smile to the lips of generations of Americans," Biden said in a tweet on Friday.
"She's a cultural icon who will be sorely missed. Jill and I are thinking of her family and all those who loved her this New Year's Eve," the president added.”
How I’ve missed some wholesome updates like this that isn’t clickbait worthy. Just a nice sentiment. What makes me proud to support presidential stuff y know?
Trump in an alternate universe where he won the second election:
“Just heard of Betty White’s passing. Very sad, very sad. I remember she was such a huge fan of Celebrity Apprentice, such a shame we never got her on. She loved people with intelligent humor, I think we would have gotten along well. Such a sweet old lady. Very sad.”
You forgot to add ….. Celebrity Apprentice, great show, the very best, perhaps one of the best show in the network during its time, such a shame we ……..
“She didn’t make it to 100? What a loser!”
Nicely done! I was able to read that in the voice and all!
It’s just a tweet
edit: lmao neolibs are creaming themselves over cheap sentiment and uhh "presidential grace" while their pres follows through on none of his campaign promises and fumbles any attempt at stopping covid
It’s sad seeing so many content with empty virtue signaling, but after years of not having any they’re pretty starved for it.
Better to signal virtue than to engage in malice and aggression.
Unless it’s about Rosie O’donnell /s
It’s glitter on dog shit
Calm down
Is it even possible for him to be calmer??? Lol
The greatest thing since sliced bread (and before)
Betty White was born in 1922 and sliced bread was invented in 1928
Former President Donald Trump tweeted this in response.
Good thing Trump can't tweet anymore, or I'm sure he'd have something nasty to say about her.
I met Betty White once, she said Donald, you are the most intelligent man I know and you are definitely 6’4.
Trumps gimmick is saying two opposing things so he can pick and choose what he said later, when people complain.
TV. Movies. Women. Camera. Man
He would’ve found a way to make it about himself.
“I remember the first time I tried to grab her, and her pussy bit back. A nasty woman.”

And you somehow found a way to make it about him.
Probably the best thing he could have said, honestly.
He'd tweet something in her condolence, but somehow make it all about himself.
Don't believe me? Just look at his "condolence" message for John Travolta and Kelly Preston's son. It's absolutely disgusting.
What the actual fuck is wrong with that man and how can he still manage to surprise me with his depravity at this point?
His lack of self-awareness is bigly.
I don’t really support democrat or republican, but that would be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Like a 2000 lb straw. Anyone that insults Betty White is an inhumane monster and doesn’t deserve their basic human rights.

Remember the time when John Travolta and Kelly Preston's son died, and Trump's "condolence" message was all about his past attempt to seduce Kelly, and how shocked he was they he failed because of his outstanding track record at picking up women?
Classy as always.
It is not an unrealistic comment by any means? He’s tweeted about celebrity deaths before but added how they benefited/helped him directly directly—like the Sean Connery one—as opposed to the usual comments about any hospitality or stories when then met.
Again, it is not an unbelievable comment to make that he would’ve somehow make it about himself. The man is a documented narcissist after all. But in all fairness he has issued several normal condolences too.

damn that was so original and clever. TAKE. MY. AWARDS. too bad i don’t have any awards to give you..
Really? You had to turn this into a trump debate when someone just died? Tell me you’re a liberal without telling me you’re a liberal
Brandon is your president
Why do you still talk about trump?
Lest we forget what evil looks like. There are other elections coming, you know.
It was nice to see he was trying to get his supporters vaxxed even though they booed him for it. That’s all I really say about him now
I’m sure Bobert is preparing impeachment proceeding against Biden for showing empathy
Those “proceedings” are just crayon and a denny’s menu. Biden is safe.
My son had her in his celebrity death pool, but loves her. I’ve been blaming him for her death. He now hates me.
Who bets on people dying? I thought that was a comic book thing? Kinda sociopathic eh
Right like what the hell?
Watch out for your son, that’s odd.
Oh no. If Biden says anything nice about anyone or anything the MAGAts are gonna start shit on it. I’m willing to bet Ben Garrison is already drawing a cartoon about Betty White.
And at the same time, bernie bros are pissing their pants because the president isn’t solving every problem in the world at one time, which bernie clearly would have done, because of bernie’s powers of whiny assholes
So then what are trump supporters doing? Crying over every way they were screwed over or just still hoping he will save them from their misery?
That’s nice, had she died under Trump he would have fabricated some story about BW that shifted the focus to him.
Are you gonna take trumps dick out your mouth anytime soon?
How’s middle school kid?
How’s Chuck E. Cheese?
Now all the republicans are going to hate her
Lerts ger berndern or something
It feels good to not give a fuck about what the president wants for a change.
Apparently she was also pretty good at DEMONIK
Omg I just found out
So did a million other ppl
Americans take celebrity worship to an unhealthy level.
Ignoring the fact that celebrity worship is a global experience, Betty White was a prominent cultural figure for like 60+ years and will be remembered as such
Global, and not at all new. People wore the sweat and blood of their favorite gladiators around their neck. Celebrity worship is just human.
While this is true, I feel most Americans are a little different with her. They didn't worship her line of makeup, her tweets, her political views, her wealth or her mission to Mars.
They grew up with her. They learned lessons her characters did. This is why she's beloved and not worshiped.
That’s what it is. Betty was sort of celebrated for how different she was than others on the realm of celebrityhood. She was a sarcastic fun person who did her own thing
For me it was her muffins. Not dry or yeasty.
Not unlike Dolly Parton! Also a cultural icon and, as Betty White, very much loved by a lot of other countries too.
no one worships betty white. she was just funny and down to earth, and ppl enjoyed that about her.
You're on an entertainment subreddit, holy shit man.
Some take criticizing Americans to an unhealthy level
She's beloved, not worshipped.
You believe in astrology lol keep your opinions to yourself.
/s
Edit: with that said because I forgot I have to tell everyone I’m joking online. Everyone in my eyes is free to do whatever they want until it hurts others.
There's a lot to respect about Betty. 1. she was the first female producer 2. when she had a black dancer on her show people got mad and she was like "live with it" this was pre-civil rights act 3. she kept working into old age even after her husband died whom she loved a lot
I think out of all the weird celeb obsessions Betty left a legacy to be respected with countless roles that made her an icon to respect because at the end of the day she really did pave the way for others to succeed even when it resulted in backlash.
It’s cause that’s what makes the news, you’re not gonna see an article of someone getting a picture with a celebrity, instead you’ll see an article about fans stalking/harassing celebrities. The actions of those crazy fans don’t speak for the entirety of America.
I agree, but Betty White wasn’t celebrated in the same way that most celebrities are. She was celebrated because of almost the exact opposite, for being so jarringly different than most celebrities you see. I think a lot of people saw her as an “Anti-celebrity”
She literally put her career on hold to fight for her country in the World War 2, but ok ...
I don’t know if you have much credibility, a crap ton of your posts are pictures of Sarah Jessica Parker.
I don't know why somebody downvotes you. I gave you an upvote to confirm this factual statement.
I am American, and I tire of fucking stupid people screaming about irrelevant celebrities. However, this one is progressive and broke some barriers for Black Americans in the 1960s.
Right now, our celebrity is acting like walking on eggshells to avoid offending anyone, and that’s pathetic.
Kayne West & Kim Kharishatever needs to be brought down to poverty level, so nobody would care about them.
I liked Betty, she was a very lovely person and gave the world laughter but the President tweeting about her death when there are so many devastating issues happening is weird.
Celebrities are given way too much wealth and love when the majority are just surviving.
I can understand why the average person is angry and frustrated with life when we are forced to worship complete strangers who had luck and good timing in their life.
It's all just so ridiculous and toxic, I can't even watch hockey anymore because they're treated like special superheroes for skating on ice and fighting over a piece of rubber.
Now they make millions from selling coffee and trucks in commercials every 10 minutes.
I'm constantly downvoted on Reddit because people don't like being told what a joke life is.
Thanks for the nice comment.
It's all about history man.
Can't say I've ever seen her in anything outside of an random movie cameo where he's just a sassy old lady.
I bet Biden never watched the Comedy Central roast of William Shatner where Betty White had some gems…
Among other things, she had a Black dancer on her variety show in 1954. She was told to get rid of him, d/t complaints from southern TV stations.
She told her producers to “Live with it.”
—one of many, many many reasons to mourn her passing.
Biden be like: “She was my high school sweetheart, such a tragic loss.”
That’s all she gets? A tweet?

I'm Sorry, but being Canadian isnt a reason to not know Betty White. She is a North American Icon. I have never met a person (I am from Vancouver) who doesnt know who she is...so with all due respect, you need a different reason.
I’m American but I live in South Korea.. people over here love her..
Yeah, I'm Dutch and while I haven't seen a lot of hers (just her Community episodes and some YT clips) because Golden Girls wasn't really a thing here, I still know who she is. I can imagine some people might not know precisely what she's known for, but I do expect everyone I know to have at least heard of her.
Google “golden girls”
That’s no excuse lol
I’m canadian in my early twenty and i know her this is not a good reason
Who is she? I honestly never heard of her in my life and now she’s all over the news
You’ve got to be like 8 years old.
Why do people always get so weird about that. I honestly confuse her with the made-up Betty Crocker. I don’t watch golden girls never cared. Why are you so surprised when someone doesn’t know who a celebrity is
Bc she’s been around for 99 years. If one follows any type of celebrity anything, they had to have seen her at some point.
I guess I don’t worship celebrities. I mean if that’s your thing then go ahead, but don’t get upset when others don’t. It’s like if I said CJ Hobgood passed away and I get mad that you don’t know him. I don’t expect that
“I remember my first year of Grad school when she came on the scene…” drooled Biden.
K… thanks Biden?
Ight she’s dead. Can we stop hearing about her every other hour now
Why are people acting like she was some god. Another actor died from old age, life happens. She lived a long life, did anyone think she was gonna live much longer? How is anyone surprised?

Betty was changing Biden’s diapers
I can’t believe Biden beat off to Betty white
Yea, I mean she’s 99. Here I was thinking he only did that to little kids!
I agree. First time in a long time.
Oh, she died? Huh. Weird.
She knew who Elon Musk is, and what Tesla and SpaceX are. Hey Joe, do you?!
This comment makes you sound unhinged
Y’all literally only have one joke.
Betty White would have wanted to cancel student debt.
Loved her. Plus she was amazing in the proposal one of my favorite movies
Finally, Biden says something I don’t hate. Respect
