President Joe Biden’s streak of gaffes continued this week with a teleprompter battle that left him in the dust.
But while his now signature flubs made the rounds on social media, earning boatloads of mockery once again, it was the not-so-subtle clean-up by the White House that sparked fury.
While speaking at the North America’s Building Trades Unions conference in Washington, D.C., Biden momentarily wrestled with the teleprompter again.
“Four More Years. Pause?”‘ he read, obviously repeating the word that was actually an instruction.
“Four more years… Pause.”
It’s terrifying at this point.

But after the reaction poured in to yet another mental challenge for the feeble 81-year-old, the White House seemed to sidestep the incident in its transcript of the event.
Rather than include him reading the word “pause,” the transcript says it was “inaudible.”
This really is the perfect embodiment of the Biden presidency – don’t believe your lyin’ eyes and ears… The economy is fixed! The border is secure! Crime is over! Men are women! The WH staff can’t keep up with Joe Biden! https://t.co/GQCR5QYygc

“This really is the perfect embodiment of the Biden presidency,” Megyn Kelly railed on X, “don’t believe your lyin’ eyes and ears… The economy is fixed! The border is secure! Crime is over! Men are women! The WH staff can’t keep up with Joe Biden!”
This seemed too much for many on social media to believe.

Did they really *inaudible* and paper over him reading “pause” out loud?

Helen Keller could have understood Biden saying, “Pause” right there. It was not inaudible…

This should be a crime to whoever is on Presidential Cleanup Duty. Falsifying Government records should not be taken lightly.
