Biden put his arm around Niall Horan and told him he reminded him of “when Scranton died.”
“When you were singing, even though I’ve never lived in Ireland, I just kept thinking of the places that I did live. With my grandparents in Scranton when Scranton died. Not died, when Scranton, everything went south in Scranton,” Biden said.
Niall Horan looked down as Biden mumbled nonsense about Scranton.
