Some assumed that, after several failed attempts, Joe Biden’s nomination was safe. He and his family refuse to listen to Democrats who are calling for him to step down. Despite the mountain of evidence, neither Biden nor his White House staff are admitting he’s too impaired to run.
But every time he opens his mouth, he shows the world that he’s not fit to lead. The latest is so bad, we don’t even like laughing about it. It’s just the latest reminder that Democrats are forcing a sick man to run for president.
Biden is scrambling to make an appeal to voters. Especially voters he has abandoned and who are turning away from him. In what could go down as a terrible decision, he appeared for an interview on BET. The old white man tried to brag about his support for black Americans. As usual, he appears sluggish, weary, and confused. While he was trying to boast over his appointing African Americans to posts within his administration, he made an awful gaffe.
From Daily Caller:
President Joe Biden appeared to forget the name of his own Secretary of Defense on Wednesday, referring to Lloyd Austin as the “Black man” in an interview with Black Entertainment Television (BET)…“It’s all about treating people with dignity,” he said. “For example, look at the heat I’m getting because I named a, uh, the secretary of defense, [the or a] Black man.”
He then incorrectly referred to Supreme Court Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson as just “Ketanji Brown,” before concluding, “I mean, because of the people I’ve named. It’s about making it clear that American history is Black history, Black history is American history, and it’s being built by it. That’s why we’re strong.”

A Gaffe to Remember
Well, here we go again, folks. President Joe Biden has done it once more. During a recent interview with BET, the commander-in-chief had another one of his infamous memory lapses. This time, it involved none other than his own Defense Secretary, Lloyd Austin. Biden appeared to forget Austin’s name entirely, causing quite a stir and raising more questions about his mental acuity.
Biden looked far more worse for wear than we’ve ever seen him. He came off confused, tired, and weaker than ever. It’s criminal that his administration is subjecting him to this level of humiliation. While he tried to brag about appointing African Americans to posts he seemed to refer to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin as “the Black Man.”
Yep, you heard that right. It’s not every day you hear the leader of the free world refer to his top defense official in such an embarrassing manner. What the White House was thinking putting him on this show, we’ll never know.
Context Matters
Now, it’s not the first time Biden’s had a slip of the tongue, but this one’s got people talking for all the wrong reasons. Lloyd Austin isn’t just any official; he’s the Secretary of Defense, a crucial figure in national security. Calling him “the black man” is a blunder that’s difficult to overlook. It’s another example that fuels the ongoing debate about Biden’s cognitive health and his fitness for office.
The political ramifications are immediate and significant. Critics pounced on the gaffe, using it as further evidence that Biden needs to go. That now includes Democrats, who fear Biden will drag down the entire party. Social media lit up with reactions, ranging from disbelief to disgust. People wasted no time questioning Biden’s ability to effectively lead the nation, especially when it comes to matters of national security.
The Bigger Picture
This incident adds to a growing list of gaffes that have marked Biden’s presidency. While some might argue these are minor missteps, others see them as troubling signs of a larger issue. This will only give Democrats further fuel to pressure Biden to step down. At the moment, he refuses to resign. But with the convention just a few weeks away, it is likely the party will force his hand.
Key Takeaways:
- Biden’s Gaffe: President Biden called Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin “the black man” during a BET interview.
- Political Fallout: This comes as Democrats challenge Biden’s cognitive health and leadership abilities.
- Ongoing Debate: Democrats are trying to force Biden to drop out, fearing he will lose to Donald Trump.
