Things went badly for President Joe Biden in yet another awkward speech that appears to have been given at the White House on Tuesday, June 4. It was drawn attention to by the RNC Research account on X,<\/p>\n
one that is run by the RNC and often finds embarrassing clips of Biden. The speech appears to be one given as he and the First Lady hosted the White House Congressional Picnic on the South Lawn.<\/p>\n
President Biden spoke at the even after being introduced by the First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden. She turned the speech into one about a women\u2019s health research initiative,<\/p>\n
saying, \u201cOver these past three and a half years, so many of you have welcomed me to your districts and your states, as we\u2019ve worked together on issues that bring us all together: Lifting up educators, <\/p>\n
highlighting the great work of your local community colleges, fighting to end cancer as we know it, supporting military families.\u201d<\/p>\n
She continued, \u201cAnd I\u2019m so excited to work with all of you on our newest White House Initiative on Women\u2019s Health Research. Research on women\u2019s health,<\/p>\n
especially for women in mid-life and beyond, has always been underfunded and understudied \u2013 but, together, we\u2019re changing that. Everywhere I go \u2013 in red and blue areas \u2013 I get asked about this new initiative all the time \u2013 and our work together is only beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then, awkwardly encouraging people to have fun, she said, \u201cBut today isn\u2019t about work \u2013 today is about you and your families, sharing some laughs, some good food, and enjoying the start of summer before it gets even more hot and humid! For all the kids out there, you can tell your parents that I said to make sure you enjoy the best lawn in America \u2013 run around, play tag, do cartwheels, have fun! And let\u2019s make this evening a celebration of what brings us all together \u2013 family, friends, our love of country, and our belief in a better tomorrow!\u201d<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when President Biden was finally introduced by the First Lady. Dr. Jill said, \u201cNow, I get to introduce my husband \u2013 Senator from Delaware for 36 years, and now President of the United States \u2013 and as you all know him: Joe.\u201d<\/p>\n
But all did not go well as, during the speech, Biden did the usual thing and lost his line of thought and started stumbling over his words while the audience and Dr. Jill awkwardly looked on before he finally got somewhat back on track. The RNC Research X account, in a post on the incident, said, \u201cBiden\u2019s brain malfunctions in real time (again)\u201d<\/p>\n
Joking in the comments section, snarky commenters said things like, \u201cThe look on Jill\u2019s face\u2026That moment of horror. And once again she\u2019s clad in a fabulous tablecloth. #FJB\u201d and \u201cHe remembers when he was Vice President? Biden had a hard time remembering when he was Vice President when special counsel Robert Hur interviewed him. Hur: Biden is an \u201celderly man with a poor memory\u201d. Biden also recently said he was Vice President during the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n
As background, though concerns about Biden\u2019s age have been prominent since he announced his run, they increased in intensity following the report from Special Counsel Hur that indicated the elderly president\u2019s age is something of a problem for him, particularly as regards his mental fitness for the job. At one point in that report, for instance, special counsel Hur said, \u201cWe have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory . . . It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him\u2014by then a former president well into his eighties of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another part of it provided, \u201cIn his interview with our office, Mr. Biden\u2019s memory was worse. He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended (\u201cif it was 2013 \u2013 when did I stop being Vice President?\u201d), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began (\u201cin 2009, am I still Vice President?\u201d), He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died. And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him. Among other things, he mistakenly said he \u201chad a real difference\u201d of opinion with General Karl Eikenberry, when, in fact,<\/p>\n
Eikenberry was an ally whom Mr. Biden cited approvingly in his Thanksgiving memo to President Obama. In a case where the government must prove that Mr. Biden knew he had possession of the classified Afghanistan documents after the vice presidency and chose to keep those documents, knowing he was violating the law, we expect that at trial, his attorneys would emphasize these limitations in his recall.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
