President Biden flubs speech, calls Ukrainians ‘Iranian people’
Political pundits pounced on the video as a sign of the president’s declining mental sharpness.
President Joe Biden appeared to confuse or flub a key moment during his State of the Union speech, calling Ukrainians the “Iranian people” while aiming for an inspiring moment of support against Russian aggression.
“Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he’ll never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people,” Biden said to an awkward slow clap.
His gaffe was followed by an awkward slow clap from his listening audience.
Biden’s slip-up was mocked on social media platforms, causing the word Iranian to trend on Twitter and the moment to go viral.
Videos of the verbal blunder were shared by many, including political commentators such as former American President Donald Trump administration staffer Sebastian Gorka tagging it as an example of a #SenilePresident.
