Biden Speech Gaffe Triggers New Criticism

By    |   Thursday, 09 May 2024 02:53 PM EDT

President Joe Biden ran into some sharp-edged ribbing after video emerged of him reading every word on a teleprompter during a campaign stop in Wisconsin.

The blunder came as Biden related a story about "a guy named Reilly, last name" during a ceremony highlighting Microsoft's new multibillion-dollar AI center, part of Biden's Investing in America initiative, The Post Millennial reported.

"My theology professor at the Catholic school I went to was a guy named Riley last name, and he had been drafted by the Green Bay Packers and he decided to become a priest," Biden related, video of the blooper shows.  

The phrasing triggered online questions about Biden's cognitive health as he seeks a second term in the White House.

A similar mishap occurred while Biden was speaking at a trade union conference in Washington, D.C., and read out "pause" instruction during then speech, the New York Post reported.

"Another prompter disaster from Joe Biden: 'LAST NAME,'" Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk wrote on X.

The reaction wasn't all critical.

One poster reasoned: "This time possible he didn't misspeak. Reilly could be a first name or last name… and I don't think he ever brings up the first name.  

"'A guy named Reilly, last name.' 'A guy named Reilly, (that's his) last name.' I'm just trying to keep us honest."
