WATCH: Confused Biden Causes A Scene During Jordanian President's Speech
On Monday, President Biden hosted King Abdullah II of Jordan at the White House to discuss strategies for concluding the ongoing Middle-East conflict while making preparations for the future. The dialogue hoped to align with efforts to negotiate a temporary halt to the hostilities between Israel and Hamas.
Amidst efforts to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance, the White House has been facing increased scrutiny from Arab American communities for its support of Israel, especially as the number of casualties in Gaza has escalated following Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7.
However, Biden once again made headlines for a slip of the tongue.
While the president intended to underscore the human toll of the conflict in Gaza, he misspoke by bluntly saying, “Every innocent life in Gaza is a tragedy.”
WATCH:
During the event, there appeared to be some uncertainty from Biden regarding his positioning next to the king of Jordan.
WATCH:
The gaffe comes after Special Counsel Robert Hur released a comprehensive report that has since ignited widespread concern. The report meticulously detailed instances of mismanagement of sensitive information by the president, pinpointing a critical and perhaps alarming aspect of the situation: the president’s memory appears to be suffering from “significant limitations.”
“Mr. Biden’s memory was significantly limited, both during his recorded interviews with the ghostwriter in 2017, and in his interview with our office in 2023. And his cooperation with our investigation, including by reporting to the government that the Afghanistan documents were in his Delaware garage, will likely convince some jurors that he made an innocent mistake, rather than acting willfully – that is, with intent to break the law – as the statute requires,” the report stated.
“We 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. Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt.”
