Conservative Twitter had a field day after President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris posted a back seat selfie.

“Get in, folks,” Biden captioned a snap of himself and Harris in the back of an SUV on Friday afternoon. “We’re going to lunch.”

Harris retweeted the post less than a half-hour later and added, “Lunch with my favorite co-worker.”

The internet’s reaction to the smiling selfie was anything but amused.

“You’ve been out to lunch since you both took office,” one person criticized.

“Are word salad and chocolate chip ice cream on the menu?” Somebody questioned.

“So that’s what the inside of a clown car looks like,” wrote Harrison Krank.

“Is this why you missed your press conference you announced you were having this afternoon,” another wondered.

Earlier Friday, Biden told reporters at the White House that he’d answer questions at a “major press conference” later in the day, but was actually referring to an interview with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle.

The White House press pool was confused when they were dismissed by Biden after he spoke about the debt ceiling stalemate.

“I’m doing a major press conference this afternoon, so I love you all, but I’d like to ask you to leave so we can get down to business,” he remarked.

“Business” was a taco run with Harris at Taqueria Habanero in Northeast Washington to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

Biden’s staff later clarified that there was no press conference and Biden was likely referring to his interview on MSNBC’s “11th Hour.”

“The White House is already scrambling to walk this back,” snarked Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel.

“Biden’s last solo press conference was 172 days ago.”

The president defended his scandal-prone son Hunter during his conversation with Ruhle, when she asked how the investigation into the first son’s tax violations gun permit application discrepancy affected Biden’s presidency.

“First of all my son has done nothing wrong,” he remarked. “I trust him, I have faith in him, and it impacts my presidency by making me feel proud of him.”

According to the Washington Post, Hunter met with U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss, as federal prosecutors are considering filing four charges against him.

The House Oversight Committee is also turning up the heat with investigations into Hunter’s finances.

Elsewhere in the interview, Biden said that his “wisdom” is why Americans should reelect him in 2024.

“I have acquired a hell of a lot of wisdom and know more than the vast majority of people,” he asserted. “And I’m more experienced than anybody that’s ever run for the office. And I think I’ve proved myself to be honorable as well as also effective.”

He also noted that if you compare him to Trump, “everything” about them is different. “We cannot let this election be won and the same man who was president four years ago,” he added.

Biden also defended Harris in the interview. “I just think Vice President Harris hasn’t got the credit she deserves,” he said. “She is really, really very good.”

That theory will be put to the test, as Harris has been tasked with promoting ” responsible AI innovation” in an effort to “protect people’s rights and safety” from the rapidly evolving technology.

Harris met with CEOs from Alphabet, Microsoft, and Open AI on Thursday to ” underscore this responsibility and emphasize the importance of driving responsible, trustworthy, and ethical innovation with safeguards that mitigate risks and potential harms to individuals and our society.”
