With an awkward teleprompter reading on Wednesday, Biden’s week of missteps continued.
While reading from a teleprompter during a trade union conference in Washington, D.C., Biden seemed to stray from the script in the middle of his speech, which led to an awkward applause line.
Ponder the next action we could do. He paused and replied, “Four more years,” then laughed as the crowd started shouting, “Four more years.”
Online responses to Biden’s “pause” instant ranged from blatant ridicule to concern.
“I’m Ron Burgundy?” Guy Benson, a contributor for Fox News, made a joke on how the main character in the film “Anchorman” always reads everything precisely as it is written on the teleprompter.
Founder of OutKick Clay Travis concurred, saying, “Joe Biden read the teleprompter’s ‘pause’ instruction. Ron Burgandy is the man. He simply keeps becoming worse.”
The most amazing thing about this isn’t that Biden read “pause” from the teleprompter like Ron Burgundy did; rather, it’s that he was completely perplexed for a good seven or eight seconds before realizing what was going on. Fantastic,” writer Ian Miller for OutKick continued.
Republican congressman from Indiana, Jim Banks, declared, “This man is not mentally fit to be President.””Good grief,” exclaimed actor Matthew Marsden.
Contributor Steve Cortes of Fox News clarified, saying, “If Biden weren’t president, his teleprompter gaffes would be hilarious. Here, he reads the order to “pause.” These instructions, which tell the speaker to “don’t say this part,” are distinguished clearly on his screen and typically involve many parenthesis.
Buzz Patterson, a columnist for RedState, wrote, “Oh, we’re going to ‘pause’ his ‘four more years.”
“It’s depressing. Former governor of Arkansas Mike Huckabee wrote, “(Pause & frown),”
In the past week, Biden has made a number of blunders and said mistakes. The president was made fun of the day before for unintentionally saying that former President Trump couldn’t be trusted.
“I’m not sure why Trump surprises us. “How many times must he demonstrate our lack of trustworthiness?” stated Biden.
Biden came under fire on Monday for appearing ambiguous about the current anti-Israel demonstrations occurring on college campuses across the country.
“I denounce the anti-Semitic demonstrations. I have a program in place to handle that because of this. “I also denounce individuals who lack comprehension of the situation involving the Palestinians,” Biden declared to the press.
In an ambiguous remark last Thursday, Biden urged Americans to “choose freedom over democracy.”
“Are you prepared to put harmony above division? Respect over demolition? Truth over falsehoods? Are you prepared to give up democracy in favor of freedom? Since that is America “, Biden remarked.
On Wednesday, Biden almost made the same mistake again, but he seemed to realize his mistake.
“Are you ready to choose freedom over democracy—for democracy?” Biden stated before cheers from the crowd.
