President Joe Biden seemingly forgot the name of his defense secretary during an event at the White House.
“I want to thank the sec… the, the former general. I keep calling him general, but my, my… the guy who runs that outfit over there. I want to make sure we thank the secretary for all he’s done to try to implement what we just talked about,” Biden said on Monday night.
