Congressman bashes President for buying 200 Maine lobsters for his 'fancy dinner' with Macron while he is putting lobsterman 'out of business' and demands he meet with them President Joe Biden was called out by one of his fellow Democrats on Wednesday night for ordering Maine lobster for tonight's state dinner with the French president - while rolling out regulations making it harder for everyday Americans to get their hands on the luxury food.
Democrat Rep. Jared Golden of Maine's 2nd Congressional District was responding to a report that 200 live lobsters were sent to the White House for the Thursday night event.
He demanded that Biden meet with lobster fishermen to discuss the new fishing rules - which the moderate congressman warned could put them 'out of business.'
