Devastating 15-Second Video: Biden Seemingly Forgets Infrastructure Czar's Name, Calls Him Something Totally Wrong

President 👤Joe Biden visited Pittsburgh on Friday to tout his infrastructure agenda just hours after a bridge collapsed, making for breathless headlines about the uncanny timing and the appropriate scope of his oft-cited plan to repair the nation’s bridges.

Yet while delivering comments after visiting the wreckage, Biden was the one who collapsed as he forgot the name of his own infrastructure czar, referring to him as the “former mayor of Louisiana” instead.

“We all remember last fall when Hurricane Ida made landfall — and he’s running my operation now, the former mayor of Louisiana — when it hit Louisiana,” Biden said.

Of course, the infrastructure guy has a name, and the “mayor of Louisiana” is not a thing.

This was most likely an ill-fated attempt to resurrect in his memory the name of Mitch Landrieu, whom he appointed in November as his senior advisor and infrastructure coordinator.

Landrieu is the former mayor of New Orleans, which is a city in Louisiana, of course. (I don’t mean to insult your intelligence, but as the president of the United States just missed this, I apparently can’t assume it is a commonly known fact.)

To establishment media outlets, of course, this was hardly remarkable — they were all fixated on the perfect timing of the bridge collapse and rarely stop to spill much ink on the fact that Biden regularly calls his own cognitive function into question when presented with the task of giving public remarks.
