Year in Review: POTUS Joe Biden's top 10 blunders of 2022
The 46th president's record of slip-ups dates back for decades, and he even called himself a"gaffe machine" long before taking office. As such, 2022 was no exception to the rule, with Biden issuing verbal slip-ups on a near-weekly basis.Though there are too many to recount on such a short list, the Washington Examiner dug through and found what we felt were the top 10 Biden blunders of the year. In no particular order, they are as follows.
During the same speech, Biden referred to a male Massachusetts lawmaker as"she" and said Glasgow was in England rather than Scotland.One of the most cringe-inducing blunders came during a September speech, in which Biden appeared to call out for Rep. Jackie Walorski , who had died in a tragic car crash almost two months prior.
Jean-Pierre even claimed,"I don't think it's at all unusual" that the president called for the deceased congresswoman. Reporters persisted with several follow-ups, but the press secretary stuck with her line.The military at home and abroad received a lot of attention following the brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine in February. But Biden appeared to say the opposite of what he meant during a summer speech in the Middle East.
“Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks,” the president declared, less than a week after Russia launched its invasion. “But he will never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people.”A gaffe, but technically true since Putin *is* unlikely to gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people.Biden is proud of his adopted home state, which he represented in the Senate for 36 years before becoming vice president in 2009. He often mentions the First State in speeches, usually with accurate statements.
"Some of the American press will remember when I got a phone call from the leader of Finland saying could he come and see me," Biden said."He came the next day and said, 'Will you support my joining, my country joining NATO?' We got on the telephone, and he suggested we call the leader of Switzerland — Switzerland, my goodness. I'm getting really anxious here about expanding NATO — of Sweden.
