Conservatives on Twitter berated President Joe Biden for making several blunders in quick succession during a state of the economy speech on Tuesday.
During his speech, Biden blamed ‘war in Iraq’ for America’s current inflationary woes before correcting himself to say war in Ukraine, thus blaming inflation on Putin, then said his mistake was due to the fact that her son Beau had died in Iraq.
Biden said, “Inflation is a global problem right now because of a war in Iraq and the impact on oil and what Russia is doing. I mean, excuse me, the war in Ukraine I am thinking of Iraq because that is where my son died, because he died.
Minutes later in the speech, Biden mentioned his son again, this time saying he died of cancer. Biden’s son died of brain cancer at Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, six years after returning from Iraq.

President Joe Biden was hammered by critics on Twitter on Tuesday for making several apparent gaffes in his recent speech.
Biden also claimed elsewhere in the speech that he spoke to the man who invented insulin. The people who discovered insulin as a medical treatment all died.
First, critics attacked her claims about inflation and her statement about her son’s death.
Washington Examiner columnist T. Becket Adams criticized Biden’s quote, tweeting, “thirty-eight words, and not a single one is true.”
He added, “could probably use that Presidential Lie Tracker right now.”
National Republican Senate Committee Deputy Digital Director Mike Hahn corrected Biden’s claim about his son, tweeting, “Again Beau Biden died of brain cancer in 2015 (4 years after the end of of the war in Iraq) in Maryland.”
Daily Wire reporter Ryan Saavedra verified the collection of blunders, writing: “Inflation was already skyrocketing long before the war in Ukraine and Biden’s son didn’t die in Iraq and didn’t die of what whether it’s war-related.”
“It’s getting harder and harder to separate gaslighting from dementia,” said Substack writer Jim Treacher.
Former GOP congressional candidate Kimberly Klacik called out Biden for the line about her son, tweeting, “Joe Biden telling a crowd that his son died in Iraq. He died in Maryland. Pretty close I suppose.”
“Beau Biden passed away six years after returning from Iraq. (POTUS made the same mistake last month. It’s just sad to see.),” the Defense Institute spokeswoman said. freedom, Angela Morabito.
“It’s getting harder and harder to separate gaslighting from dementia,” said Substack writer Jim Treacher.
President Biden paused for a long time when asked if First Lady Biden wanted him to run again during an interview with MSNBC in October.

“Handsome Biden didn’t die in Iraq. Either Biden is lying or he just doesn’t remember correctly. Neither is good,” tweeted John Cooper, a communications staffer at the Heritage Foundation.
“Joe Biden again falsely claims that his son died in Iraq. Beau died of medical cancer,” wrote Breitbart reporter Wendell Husebo.
Fox News contributor Guy Benson tweeted, “It’s *very very weird* that he keeps saying, totally falsely, that his son died in Iraq.”
Biden made the same claim about losing his son in Iraq during a speech in October and was quickly rebuffed.

Several users also dissected his request for inulin, finding it unlikely that he could have spoken to the inventor of insulin.
He said: “Do you know how much this insulin medicine for diabetes costs? It was invented by a man who didn’t patent it because he wanted it to be available to everyone. I spoke to him. OK?”
RNC Director of Research Zach Parkinson objected to Biden’s claim about insulin, responding, “It’s bizarre for a couple of reasons: insulin was discovered by more than one person ( two or three or four depending on how you want to credit). It was patented (the patent was sold for $1 to the University of Toronto) These co-discoverers died in 1935, 1941, 1965 and 1978.”
Conservative political strategist Greg Price also disputed the claim, tweeting, “Joe Biden claims he spoke to the man who invented insulin. I googled him and the two guys who invented insulin. insulin died in 1948 and 1978, so you be the judge.
Last week, President Biden blundered when he said there were “54 states” in America.
