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 Armstrong’s words after he landed on the moon, but ended up delivering one of his infamous gaffes.
“It’s an honor to welcome you all to the White House as we celebrate the enduring alliance between Australia and the United States — an alliance that’s marked by imagination, ingenuity and innovation,” Biden said.
Then he got to the Armstrong quote that he just didn’t get quite right.
“Nearly 55 years ago, American astronauts took humanity’s first step on the moon. They sent a message forever etched in history. Quote, ‘That’s one small step for man and one giant step for mankind.'”
Close, but no cigar, Mr. Biden.
The actual quote, as everybody knows, reads just a bit differently: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
