Friday was another not-so-great day for the Commander-in-Chief as he struggled to deliver remarks to the press regarding food aid for Gaza. Joe Biden was hosting Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for an official state visit in the Oval Office when his staff decided to throw caution to the wind and allow him to make some remarks to the press. Things seemed to go okay at first, but then Uncle Joe announced that he was authorizing airdrops of food and supplies “into Ukraine.” He followed that up by saying he would be looking to “open other avenues into Ukraine.” I’m sure the Ukrainians will be thrilled to hear it, but what Joe actually meant to say was “Gaza.” But don’t let that worry you. I’m sure everything is just fine. After all, his doctor said he passed his physical with flying colors, right? (NY Post)
President Biden mistakenly announced Friday that he was authorizing US airdrops of aid into “Ukraine” when he was supposed to say the Gaza Strip — another stumble propelling election-year scrutiny of his mental acuity.
The 81-year-old commander-in-chief mixed up the global hot spots twice while hosting Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in the Oval Office.
“In the coming days, we are going to join with our friends in Jordan and others in providing airdrops of additional food and supplies into Ukraine and seek to continue to open up other avenues into Ukraine, including the possibility of a marine corridor to deliver large amounts of humanitarian assistance,” Biden said.
