Rob Schneider Makes Big Claim Against Joe Biden

Perhaps best known for his comedy career, Rob Schneider has also earned a reputation for blasting public figures online—and he's once again aimed his ire at President Joe Biden.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, the Saturday Night Live alum said the president is "blatantly trying to destroy our nation" with "illegal immigration." Schneider shared a video post from Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin in which people can be seen sitting at the wall, which stretches nearly the length of the Arizona-Mexico border.

"Good morning from Lukeville, AZ, where there was another mass illegal crossing through a cut in the border wall early this morning," Melugin captioned his post. "Hundreds of adults from around the world now waiting for Border Patrol to apprehend them. People here from India, Guinea, Liberia, & many more."

When Schnieder retweeted the post he added the caption: "There is no way any rational American can look at this illegal migration of people from North Africa just walking into our country from Mexico and not think the Biden Administration is blatantly trying to destroy our Nation..."

Newsweek reached out to representatives for Schneider and Biden for comment via email Thursday.

People took to the comment section of Schneider's post to criticize what he said.

"How is this Biden's fault? Did he cut the wall?" one person asked.

"This stuff has been going on for decades," said another.

"When did 'India, Guinea, Liberia, & many more' become North Africa?" a different commenter asked.

Even though some questioned Schneider, others agreed with the controversial comedian.

"I'm hoping for the day every single one of those people are deported and physically removed from U.S. soil," one person commented.

"Democrat politicians aren't rational Americans. They're crazed with power and will do anything to keep it. Democrat states are losing population in big numbers so they're importing illegals to replenish those numbers. Otherwise they'll lose seats in the House after the census," said another.

Someone else added: "Biden is a traitor."

Border security has become difficult for Biden as his approval rating drops less than a year from the 2024 presidential election. He is facing bipartisan backlash over his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border as the country continues to experience a high number of migrant border crossings.

According to data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, there were more than 2.475 million encounters at the southern border in the fiscal year 2023, an increase from about 2.378 million in fiscal 2022.

However, according to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, Biden is offended that Americans do not believe he is taking border security seriously. She revealed this when she was asked a question about the president's approach to border security during a press briefing on November 19.

"I take offense, and I think the president does too when you say we haven't taken this seriously. When your first piece of legislation is on immigration to fix the broken system, that is taking it very seriously," Jean-Pierre said.

She pointed out that the Biden administration has taken action to try to send resources to the border amid an influx of migrants, adding that she believes Republicans are blocking progress on the issue.

Jean-Pierre continued: "When you put out an emergency supplemental, which we put out weeks ago, that has funding for the border, we take that very seriously. And then you have Congress; they put forward HR2. They continue to get in the way—Republicans, to be more clear—on actually doing what the president is asking for."

This isn't the first time that Schneider has come for Biden. In September he faced criticism for calling the president a "looney octogenarian" over his decision to wear a face mask after his wife, Jill Biden, tested positive for COVID-19.

The 50 First Dates star was responding to a video posted on X that showed Biden arriving at a White House press conference. Upon taking the podium, the maskless president told reporters that he had to keep wearing a face covering, before quipping: "But don't tell 'em I didn't have it on when I walked in."

In response, Schneider, a long-time critic of measures designed to slow the spread of COVID-19, wrote: "We, the Unvaccinated (and Un-myocarditised) are patient. But are patience is wearing thin with this looney octogenarian."

One very rare side effect of the COVID-19 vaccination is myocarditis. It has given rise to conspiracy theories regarding the risks of vaccination against the virus, which has caused more than 6 million fatalities globally, according to figures from the World Health Organization. It is frequently provided as a reason for vaccine reluctance.

In November, Schneider once again took to the social media platform to hit out at Biden, this time calling him a "tyrant."

On the 60th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's death, Biden reflected on the moment he heard the former president had been assassinated.

"I was in college and had just left class, joining other students glued to the news in silence along with the entire country," the 81-year-old said in a statement.

Reposting the quote to X, Schneider wrote: "Biden also Honored JFK's legacy in the opposite way by breaking protocol and NOT GIVING @RobertKennedyJr SECRET SERVICE PROTECTION. #SoSickOfThisTyrant."
