During a recent media briefing, US President Joe Biden made a statement that has drawn attention and criticism. President Biden asserted that he was the “Vice President during the (Covid-19) pandemic,” while also recalling a moment when former President Barack Obama tasked him with addressing issues in Detroit.
However, it’s worth noting that Mike Pence served as Vice President during the Covid-19 pandemic, not Joe Biden. President Biden’s comments have sparked discussions online, with some questioning the accuracy of his statement.
This is not the first time President Biden has made statements that raised eyebrows. Earlier this year, he referred to the terrorist group Hamas as ‘Opposition’ during a discussion about hostage negotiations between Hamas and Israel. Additionally, President Biden mistakenly claimed to have met former French president Francois Mitterrand, who passed away in 1996, soon after his own election.
President Joe Biden’s recent statement adds to ongoing scrutiny about his verbal gaffes and raises questions about his attention to detail, especially given his status as the oldest President to serve in office.
