Biden's Week Of Gaffes Continues With Teleprompter Blunder

Joe Biden White house U.S. President Joe Biden at the White House

President Biden faced another gaffe during a trade union conference in Washington, D.C., where he appeared to read teleprompter instructions out loud, resulting in an awkward moment. While delivering his speech, Biden paused after reading 'Four more years, pause,' causing laughter and chants from the audience. This incident quickly garnered online reactions, with some poking fun at the President's mishap.

Various individuals, including news contributors and a columnist, likened Biden's teleprompter blunder to the fictional character Ron Burgundy from the movie 'Anchorman,' known for reading anything on the teleprompter. Critics expressed concerns about Biden's fitness for office, with some labeling the incident as a sign of mental decline.

This incident adds to a series of recent gaffes made by President Biden, including a statement where he appeared to question his own trustworthiness compared to former President Trump. Additionally, Biden faced criticism for his response to anti-Israel protests and a confusing remark about choosing 'freedom over democracy.'

Despite the online reactions and criticisms, the official White House transcript did not include the word 'pause' spoken by Biden during the event, indicating a potential discrepancy in the record of the speech. News outlets have reached out to the White House for comment on the incident.
