West Side Story legend Rita Moreno just launched a defense of President Joe Biden for the ages. (Watch the video below.)
Appearing on The View Monday, the 92-year-old EGOT winner was asked by co-host Ana Navarro what she thought of criticism that Biden, 81, was too old to run again.
Let me say this and its very succinct and to the point: I am not about to vote for someone who has 91 indictments against them for criminal activities, Moreno said, referring to the charges against Donald Trump spread over four indictments. I mean, enough said already. Thats so stupid. Look at all the stuff Biden has accomplished.
Ill take 81 years over 91 counts any day, Navarro chimed in.
Ya damn right, Moreno countered.
A New York Times poll of 980 registered voters published Sunday doesnt exactly reinforce Morenos confidence. More than 60% of the voters who backed Biden in 2020 now say hes just too old to govern effectively. A whopping 73% of all registered voters said he was too long in the tooth as well, according to the survey.
But if voters arent going to heed the word of a show business legend who has won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony, they can at least enjoy the joke she cracked at Trumps expense on the talk show.
I saw a sign in a deli wall in LA, where I was visiting, Moreno said, per The Wrap . And it said: Trump Sandwich. And then it goes on to describe it. Two slices of bread, bolo wait a minute, two slices of white bread, Bologna, and a very small pickle.
