Biden made a grave mistake.
Gino Pop, who recently visited the tribes of Papua New Guinea, asserted on ‘Jesse Watters Primetime’ that cannibalism is non-existent in 2024.
Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape expressed offense on Monday at President Biden’s recent remarks suggesting that his uncle was consumed by cannibals in the country during World War II.
Marape conveyed his disappointment in a statement, emphasizing that Papua New Guinea was unwillingly embroiled in the global conflict of the 1940s and did not deserve such labeling. Biden’s comments were made during a speech to a steelworkers union in Pittsburgh, where he mentioned his uncle, 2nd Lt. Ambrose J. Finnegan Jr., and implied he was consumed in Papua New Guinea.
Marape stressed that his nation was not responsible for World War II and called for the retrieval of remains from the conflict, including those of servicemen like Ambrose Finnegan.
He highlighted the ongoing fears of Papua New Guinea citizens due to active bombs and the remnants of World War II scattered across the country.
Biden’s remarks about his uncle were made during a speech at the United Steelworkers headquarters, where he referenced the existence of cannibals in Papua New Guinea. The White House defended Biden’s comments, attributing them to an “emotional moment” during his speech.
These remarks coincided with Biden’s recent communication with Chinese President Xi Jinping, as Papua New Guinea emerges as a potential strategic partner amid tensions between the United States and China.
