President Joe Biden renewed his anti-Second Amendment crusade at a big gun control event in Connecticut on Friday and while he delivered pure red meat to the adoring crowd, it was the bizarre way that he ended his speech that was drawing more attention than his message to the faithful.
During his headlining address at the National Safety Communities Summit in West Hartford, a gathering that he was introduced at by anti-gun zealot Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Biden raged like the angry demagogue that he is and tossed out several sensational claims to make his point, including “Down in Philadelphia and New York, areas I know well, like up here, you’d see a truck pull up, pull the curb and selling weapons, selling guns, selling AR-15s,” probably another tall tale that won’t merit much attention from the so-called fact-checkers.
But being as it is Biden, the octogenarian gaffe machine left the audience scratching their heads when he bade them farewell by exclaiming, “Alright, God save the Queen, man,” as he strode off stage, exiting the room without tripping, an impressive feat considering his recent history, although he appeared confused over which direction to go before his handlers steered him onto the right course.

Considering that he was in Connecticut, not across the pond in Jolly Old England and that the Queen died last year, Biden’s strange remark couldn’t have been a part of the script and will only offer more fodder to critics who are questioning his ability to hold it together for another four years in the White House, providing he wins next year’s presidential election.
One member of the press pool acknowledged that he was mystified, and so were other reporters.
“Those watching online heard the final utterance of President Biden at the gun summit: ‘God save the queen, man,” he said. “Several of you have asked me why he might have said that. I have no idea. Other poolers likewise have no idea.”

Twitter users also wondered what the hell Biden was talking about with many mocking the idea that he could serve out a second term in his condition, which will only likely get much worse given his advanced age.
I have seen countless – and I mean countless – drunk people say something totally obscure like “God save the Queen” and then jaunt around like a Joe Biden just did in an effort to play it off as if they were sober. He’s truly incapacitated.pic.twitter.com/XhNfFwyTwK

Joe Biden ended his remarks today calling for gun control by saying, “God save the queen.” No one has any idea what he’s talking about. Seriously, how much longer can this keep going on? pic.twitter.com/bZQzvp23RA

Biden said at the end of his speech in Connecticut, ‘God save the Queen!’
Many were baffled because the Queen is not with us, and it was not clear why he said, ‘God save the Queen.’

Was this before or after he said he was building a train track across an ocean? Is the track going to float?

During his address to the anti-gun proponents, the “wannabe dictator” may have committed another major slip-up by acknowledging the black-on-black violence that has plagued many Democrat-controlled cities like Chicago, New Orleans, and Baltimore, America’s killing fields.
“Every single day, every damn day in America. In areas that are poor, mostly minority, there’s a mass shooting that never reaches the crescendo that it reaches other places. Every single day.”

Biden’s remarks about the queen are all the more mysterious since he traveled to the U.K. to personally pay his final respects at her funeral last year.
