The White House also flew flags at half-staff in memoriam of Walorski and her aides who were also killed. It may have gotten worse as he’s gotten older, but. As a senator and then as vice president, he routinely misspoke. "We send our deepest condolences to her husband, Dean, to the families of her staff members, Zachery Potts and Emma Thomson, who lost their lives in public service, and to the people of Indiana's Second District who lost a representative who was one of their own." The truth is that Biden has always been a gaffe machine and that’s not new. "I appreciated her partnership as we plan for a historic White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health this fall that will be marked by her deep care for the needs of rural America," Biden said in an August statement. Maybe six, what the hell I don’t know, Biden said, adding I’ll either be rolling an egg or end up being the guy who’s pushing ’em out. In August, Biden and first lady Jill Biden issued a statement extending their condolences following Walorski's passing. He was thinking about her," Jean-Pierre said. And the president, she said, will be honoring Walorski on Friday with a signing of bill to rename a VA clinic in Indiana after her. Jean-Pierre told reporters, many of whom pressed her to elaborate, that Walorski had been top of mind for Biden as he named the the hunger conference's congressional champions. That was a whole new level of stupid, and Joe Biden’s not there yet.At a briefing Wednesday afternoon, before the transcript was released, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre did not acknowledge that Biden had misspoken. Trump, is after all, the president who suggested to the White House coronavirus response co-ordinator Dr Deborah Birx during televised press conference that she might try injections of toilet cleaner to treat Covid infection. He over-compensates by walking faster than seems comfortable and gives the impression he’ll fall flat on his face at any second.īut if Biden does face off against Donald Trump for a second time, he’s unlikely to be the only one putting his foot in his mouth. But they might be veiled warnings to China masquerading as gaffes.Ī bigger problem for Biden if seek re-election is likely to be his physical frailty – and his awareness of it.
But Joe Biden, has now on several occasions stated publicly that America would come to the island’s defence in the event of a Chinese invasion. Officially, America adheres to the One-China policy and is committed only to supplying the island with defensive weapons. It’s even possible that Biden, who remains a shrewd political operator, uses his loose-tongue reputation to his advantage. All they’d need to say is ‘How’s it going Joe?’” He was a hell of a rugby player, and he beat the hell out of the Black and Tans, oh God.”Īt the 2009 at the White House Correspondents’ dinner, President Barack Obama laughed as hard as everyone else, when comedian Wanda Sykes joked of his vice-president: “God forbid that Joe Biden falls into the hands of terrorists”, because he’d be blabbing state secrets in an instant. “This was given to me by one of these guys right here. “You see this tie I have with this shamrock on it?” beamed said. The Black and Tans, so-called because of the colour of their uniforms, earned a reputation for brutality after carrying out reprisals on Irish civilians. Joe Biden confused the All Blacks rugby team with the Black and Tans, appearing to mix up the New Zealand side with former British soldiers recruited as reinforcement constables during Ireland’s War of Independence. There’s been a brief (or curt, depending on you ask) visit to Ulster, before an extended, sentimental wallow in the imagined glories of Ireland, that only Americans could manage, and of course a gaffe – from the amiable, but bumbling US president who claims to speak Gaelic, but in reality has difficulty reading English from an autocue. Everything is proceeding, if not exactly to plan, then according to expectations on Joe Biden’s Irish tour.
