(Joshua Paladino, Headline USA) President Joe Biden‘s gaffes first catapulted Vice President Kamala Harris into presidential power, but now he has cast her as an adulterous “First Lady.”
While giving remarks at the White House’s “Equal Pay Day” event, Biden kicked off the hilarity with his old stand-by line that, “I’m Joe Biden. I’m Jill Biden’s husband.”
Although it readily became apparent he didn’t know who he was.
“There’s been a little change in the arrangement of whose on the stage because of, the First Lady’s husband contracted COVID,” Biden blundered. “But, uh, look at this room and what you’ll see…”
Biden’s head snapped around to the sound of the actual First Lady’s voice, pointing out that he had just referred to himself as Harris’s husband.
“That’s right. She’s fine,” he said, referring to Dr. Jill.
“It’s me that’s not together,” he croaked.

Going along with the joke, he called himself the “First Gentleman,” another apparent reference to his secondary role in the administration and Harris’s de facto role as president. In any event, what Biden was attempting to say was that Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, had contracted COVID.
Earlier this year, at a failed voting rights rally in Atlanta, Biden called Harris, on more than one occasion, “President Harris,” reported The Sun.
“Last week, President Harris and I stood on the United States Capitol,” Biden said.
Biden’s gaffes at the event to commemorate Women’s History Month did not end with calling Harris the “First Lady” and himself the “First Gentleman.”
When introducing Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, he got confused about her former role.

In this instance, he should have gone with his gut. She was Michigan’s governor from 2003 to 2011.
Then Biden flubbed UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield’s name.

Biden has called Thomas-Greenfield “Greenhouse” before.
Former Obama White House physician Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, commented on the gaffe-filled event.
Biden was LOST today. He announced he had COVID. He confused his wife with Kamala. He confused HIMSELF with Kamala’s husband. Then he fumbled remembering the name of his UN Ambassador. All in under 15 minutes. This is BAD! He needs a COGNITIVE EXAM now!!
