President Biden said Wednesday that voters should “Elect me, I’m in the 20th century” — another brutal gaffe that instantly went viral among critics who say he’s too old for another four-year term.
Joe Biden tells Arizona voters ‘elect me, I’m in the 20th century’ in latest brutal gaffe at joint press conference with Japanese PM
Biden, 81, made the statement during the conclusion of a joint press conference in the White House Rose Garden alongside Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. Peter Alexander of NBC News asked Biden to address the issue of abortion in Arizona, where the state Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that an 1864 law banning abortion from the moment of conception remains in effect, with only a narrow exception to save the life of a mother.“I’m in the 20, 20th century,” said the president, who regularly attracts negative commentary for appearing confused in public or misstating significant facts.
A moment later, Biden caught himself and added, “21st century, not back then. They weren’t even a state.”In response to a different reporter’s question about how the war in Ukraine may end, Biden said, “The war in Ukraine comes to an end by the House leader allowing a vote .”He would be 86 if he completes a full second term in 2029.
