WATCH: Biden Calls Lloyd Austin ‘The Black Man’ In Bumbling Interview

In a recent televised interview, President Joe Biden made a remark that reignited discussions about his fitness for office. In an interview with BET, the president attempted to emphasize his commitment to diversity in his administration but instead drew more scrutiny.

Biden referred to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin as “the Black man,” a comment that has added to the ongoing narrative about his cognitive health.

This has been among the many verbal blunders that have characterized Biden’s public appearances over recent months.

“It’s all about treating people with dignity. And it’s about making sure that.. look, I mean, for example, look at the heat I’m getting because I named a, uh, the secretary of defense… the black man,” Biden explained, inadvertently complicating his message.

WATCH:

Holding the record as the oldest sitting president in U.S. history, Biden’s series of mistakes has caused concerns over his cognitive health. Now even former President Barack Obama has reportedly expressed his concerns about Biden’s re-election prospects.

High-profile figures like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) have both held discussions with Biden, openly expressing their concerns that his continued candidacy might jeopardize Democratic control of Congress. Nancy Pelosi, ever influential, has been particularly assertive behind the scenes, countering Biden’s attempts to quell the ongoing debates about his run for office.

REACTIONS:

He doesn't know the name of the secretary of defense so he refers to him as "the black man"? WTAF??

Lloyd Austin? He doesn’t even know who he (allegedly) appointed?

Did he mistake Ketanji Brown (associate supreme court justice) with Lloyd Austin???

He just has vague ideas kinda floating around in his head, catchphrases and go-to safe points that he can pluck out of the fog and present to the audience and wait for affirmation. It’s gotten him this far but gets more difficult with age.
