Biden mistook congresswoman for man in Teachers’ Day speech – Reuters

At the start of his National Teachers’ Day speech, Biden called Democratic Rep. Jahana Hayes “John.” “Thank you for the members of Congress here today, including two distinguished members of Congress,” Biden said. “And by the way, Jonah Hayes…John, where are you? There you are, John, right in front of me!” Biden appeared to be aware of Hayes’ gender, addressing the congresswoman, asking her to stand up from his seat, Fox News reported. “Get up, John!” the president continued, waving Hayes to his feet. “John became the National Teacher of the Year for 2016.” Hayes was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2018.

Biden’s presidential term is filled with constant embarrassment and gaffes. In early February, Biden bragged during a White House speech that “more than half the women” on his team are “women.” “Over half the women in my cabinet, over half the members of my cabinet, over half the women in my administration are women,” Biden said, marking the 30th anniversary of the adoption of family leave. and disease. Law.

Biden came under fire in early March during a speech at a conference when he laughed while discussing a mother who lost two children to the drug fentanyl. “I should digress, I guess I read, she, she was very specific recently, saying that a mother, a poor mother who lost two children to fentanyl, that I killed her sons. Well, the interesting thing is that fentanyl, which they accepted, did in the last administration,” Biden said with a laugh and reference to the criticism he received from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green at about the fentanyl crisis.

At the same time, Joe Biden is preparing to launch a possible re-election campaign and is due to announce his candidacy for re-election as head of the White House on April 25.
