Joe Biden laughed awkwardly during a speech Thursday after he embarrassingly butchered the word “kleptocracy.”
Biden, 79, made the stumble while attempting to explain the administration’s plans to support Ukraine by holding Russian oligarchs and elites accountable for profiting off the Putin regime’s “kleptocracy.”
“In addition to this supplemental funding. I’m also sending to Congress a comprehensive package of — that will enhance our underlying effort to accommodate the Russian oligarchs and make sure we take their take their ill-begotten gains. We’re going to accommodate them. We’re going to seize their yachts, their luxury homes, and other ill-begotten gains of Putin’s kleptocra… Yeah, kleptocracy, the klep… The guys who are the kleptocracies,” Biden said, before proceeding to laugh and add, “But these are bad guys.”
The verbal flub did not go over well with conservatives, who saw the blunder as yet another dementia-induced gaffe embarrassing the nation on the world stage.
Former Fox News journalist James Rosen, who was infamously spied on by the Obama administration, noted “the sheer length of the gaffe, [Biden’s] state of befuddlement – was unusual in the annals of the modern presidency.”
“Joe Biden isn’t well,” tweeted radio host Clay Travis. “This is an embarrassment to our country and the world. He can barely read. Everyone can see the look in his eyes here, he’s lost.”
Townhall managing editor Spencer Brown jestingly suggested the word may have intentionally been written into the script by a resistance fighter inside the administration.
“Joe Biden struggling to say ‘Kleptocracy,’ which is ironic since his family literally is one,” tweeted comedian Tim Young.
“This is the same man running for re-election!!!” highlighted We Are Change’s Luke Rudkowski.
Mediaite defended the faux pas as another example of Biden attempting to overcome a stammer and stutter problem he’s had for years, going on to claim that despite knowing this “opponents have continued to attack Biden over such stumbles.”
