On Saturday, standing before a submarine designed to hunt down enemy subs that can carry ballistic missiles and speaking at a time of heightened tensions with Russia, President Joe Biden praised the work his wife did as vice president.
The gaffe came during the formal commissioning celebration ceremony for the USS Delaware, which was commissioned two years ago without a ceremony due to the pandemic, according to Bloomberg.
On Saturday, a ceremony was held in Wilmington, Delaware, during which first lady Jill Biden was present to formally commission the Delaware.
The President stumbled into his speech, saying at one point, “This latest ship to carry the USS Delaware is part of a long — the name — is part of a long tradition of serving our nation proudly.”
Things came off the rails as he spoke about his wife, who was the ship’s sponsor.
“I’m deeply proud of the work she is doing as First Lady with Joining Forces initiative she started with Michelle Obama when she was Vice President and now carries on,” he said.
