A recent clip of Joe Biden fumbling over Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s name and awkwardly referring to him as “the Black man” has caught fire on social media, generating widespread concern about the leader’s mental acuity and political competence.
The viral excerpt, originating from Black Entertainment Television (BET) interview as part of the Black America Votes special, showcases Biden’s stumble as he attempted to articulate his thoughts: “And so, it’s all about, it’s all about treating people with dignity. It’s about making sure that—look. I mean, for example, look at the heat I’m getting because I named uh, the secretary of defense, the Black man, I named Ketanji Brown, I mean, because of the people I’ve named.”

This latest blunder raises heightened concerns surrounding Biden’s health and mental acuity, especially following his performance in the first presidential debate with Donald Trump in Atlanta on June 27.
Joe Biden’s penchant for viral gaffes continued as he recently confused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky with Russian President Putin during a speech on U.S. support for Ukraine in the face of Russia’s invasion.

Biden’s verbal slip prompted Zelensky to respond with, “I’m better,” to which Biden replied, “You’re a hell of a lot better.”
Despite mounting concerns and persistent calls within his own party for him to step down, Biden adamantly refuses to abandon his presidential aspirations, asserting he is the most formidable challenger to Trump.
In the BET interview, Biden ambiguously hinted at the possibility of reconsidering his candidacy in the face of a medical condition, stating, “If I had some medical condition that emerged, if doctors came and said ‘you’ve got this problem, that problem.'”
Coinciding with these developments, the White House confirmed Biden’s positive COVID test, resulting in the cancellation of his scheduled appearance at a UnidosUS event in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This is what Communists do when they are through using you. Old Joe is not of any use for them anymore. All his Hollywood “friends” and his Political “friends” are throwing him under the bus. Now they are looking for the next sucker that they can use to lie to the people. They have a talent contest going on to find the person who can lie like Joe Biden, Barry Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Hillary Clinton. The Help Wanted sign has gone up in the DNC.
