President Joe Biden managed to botch one of the most famous historical quotes of them all, and he did so in front of a foreign leader.
On Wednesday, Biden welcomed Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to the White House. During his remarks, he tried to quote Neil Armstrongās words after he landed on the moon, but ended up delivering one of his infamous gaffes.
āItās an honor to welcome you all to the White House as we celebrate the enduring alliance between Australia and the United States ā an alliance thatās marked by imagination, ingenuity and innovation,ā Biden said.
Then he got to the Armstrong quote that he just didnāt get quite right.
āNearly 55 years ago, American astronauts took humanityās first step on the moon. They sent a message forever etched in history. Quote, āThatās one small step for man and one giant step for mankind.'ā
Close, but no cigar, Mr. Biden.
The actual quote, as everybody knows, reads just a bit differently: āThatās one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.ā
Of course, Biden muffs speeches all the time, so this is nothing new. But messing up the words of āa message forever etched in historyā? Thatās pretty impressive.
The president is also known for getting history wrong ā his own personal history, that is.
British commentator Piers Morgan has gotten so sick and tired of Bidenās constant stream of lies that he now calls our president āPinocchio Joe.ā
Morganās exasperation boiled over last month when Biden claimed that he was at Ground Zero the day after 9/11. In truth, he wasnāt there until nine days afterward, as even CNN pointed out.
Other examples of Bidenās prevarications about his life and experiences include, but are certainly not limited to, his claims that:
He was once a truck driver.
His first job offer was from an Idaho lumber company.
He marched in the civil rights movement.
He was arrested in apartheid South Africa while trying to meet Nelson Mandela in prison.
He was in Israel during the Six-Day War in 1967.
His son Beau was killed in Iraq.
His first wife was killed by a drunk driver.
He visited a Pittsburgh synagogue after a shooting there in 2018.
Compared to telling those whoppers, messing up the Neil Armstrong quote isnāt the biggest deal in the world. But itās certainly not a good look, and itās just another example of how bad Joe Biden isĀ on the dais.
