President Joe Biden struggled mightily when speaking at a Wednesday press conference.
Biden was speaking at an event in which the Violence Against Women Act was being reauthorized.
The act provides resources for the federal government to prosecute domestic violence.
Biden claimed that every American knows somebody who has been the victim of revenge porn, to the extent that they were āblackmailedā on the internet.
āSo weāve established a new civil rights ⦠a new civil rights cause of action,ā said Biden of the new version of the legislation.
āFor those whose intimate images were⦠shared, on the public screen.ā
āSend it out, put it online,ā said Biden, not exactly providing the clearest explanation.
President Bidenās son Hunter gave a laptop to a computer repair shop owner that contained his own intimate images.
The Biden laptop isnāt a case of ārevenge porn,ā as the younger Biden agreed to surrender the device in question to a Delaware repairman if he didnāt return to pick it up from his shop.
Bidenās claim that every American knows someone whoās been the victim of intimate internet blackmail is highly questionable.
While the Crime is far from unheard of, itās a bit of a stretch to assume itās common enough to have affected every person in the country.
He didnāt do himself any favors through his confused and convoluted explanation of the lawās new provisions, speaking in a fashion many have come to associate with the 79-year old president.
On Tuesday, Biden incorrectly stated that the āfirst ladyās husbandā had contracted coronavirus, before realizing he was talking about himself.
Maybe Joe Biden isnāt the best person to either speak on or enact internet policy.
