Cameras showed the humiliated reactions of State Dept. officials and Ukraine President Zelensky as Joe Biden misspoke several times at a NATO press conference.
In one angle featured on C-SPAN, cameras captured the reactions of Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan as Biden referred to Donald Trump as his vice president.
As Biden uttered the gaffe, Sullivan put his hand up to his chin in a concerned manner, while Blinken looked down solemnly, the embarrassment written on his face.

The blunders tainted what Biden officials hoped would be a good “Big Boy” press conference that would put to rest concerns over the president’s age and mental fitness, however, the opposite happened as faux pas proliferated.
