Joe Biden was in Menlo, Iowa, Tuesday, touting the fact that he waived the rule that restricts ethanol blending in gasoline, a move he clearly made with the intention of curbing the rise of gas prices before the 2022 midterms.

Biden said — well, that doesn’t matter. The most notable thing that happened during the remarks is that a bird appears to have done its patriotic duty (doody?) by defecating on Biden during the speech.
And yes, there is video:

Donald Trump Jr. shared the video on Twitter, musing that, “even the birds know.”
“Apparently a bird just s—t on Biden in Iowa,” Don Jr. tweeted. “That bird speaks for anyone who’s filled their tank or gone shopping in the last 18 months.”
Editor’s Note: According to the intrepid “fact” checkers at Politi”Fact,” it was DEFINITELY not poop.
The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed …
But it was not bird poop that landed on Biden, according to the Des Moines Register. The paper reported that while there were birds in what the president called the “giant barn” where the event was held, one of its photographers said the substance was distillers grains, which it described as a “a co-product of the ethanol production process.”
Translation: The fact-checkers have Joe’s back—and his lapel. Whatever.
