What Is This Clown Talking About? Biden Fumbles Big Announcement [Video]

I don't rejoice in Biden's gaffes because I see him as an embarrassment, and insult to the office he's supposed to represent. Just like his announcement that he had launched the “Operation Fly Formula” initiative. Biden misstepped and claimed the mission would carry just “3.7 bottles of the formula"— Not million, or thousands...

“We’re here today to hear from these manufacturers and to get updates on the progress we’re making together,” Biden said. “The shortage of baby formula is due to the closure back in February of one of Abbott’s infant formula plants. We needed to take immediate action to stop contaminated—” he continued before repeatedly correcting himself. “We needed to take immediate action to stop contaminate— contaminated formula from hitting store shelves and putting American children at risk.”

Biden then touted the Food and Drug Administration’s reaction to the shortage, claiming that the FDA “acted quickly” to bring Abbott’s plant back into compliance with federal regulations. “But it takes time” to restart production, Biden said, noting that Abbott accounts for nearly 40% of infant formula sold in the U.S. The president went on to recount the steps the administration took to attempt to address the shortage, first lauding his invocation of the Defense Production Act to deliver ingredients to producers.

“Second, we launched Operation Fly Formula, the major effort to airlift infant formula that meets American health standards and safety standards. Today I am proud to say that because of these flights, high-quality formula is already on the way to American shelves. To date, we’ve already conducted two flights with 1.5 million 8-ounce bottles [worth] of Nestle and Gerber’s hydro— excuse me, hypoallergenic formulas for children with severe allergies. Without Operation Fly Formula … it would have taken … three weeks to get this product to the United States. Because of our actions, it took three days … and today, I’m announcing plans for a third flight with Bubbs Australia. … This flight would bring 4.6 million bottles of infant formula, and pave the way for up to 27.5 million total bottles of Bubbs infant formula to be supplied to American families in the weeks ahead.”

Finally, Biden touted the FDA’s move to fast-track approvals for more imports of baby formula from other countries. He also spoke of a move by United Airlines to donate flights to deliver the formula from the U.K. “Today, we’re announcing that United Airlines has agreed to offer cargo space for Kendal Nutricare, for the delivery of 3.7 bottles of the formula, here in the States,” Biden said. “I want to thank United Airlines for partnering with us to get this done. They’re doing it on their own.”

Watch

If his gaffes weren't the norm we could all just overlook this garbage but it's every time he opens his mouth. I also can't just dismiss it as general aging—He's always talked this way. Young Biden was just as loopy as old Biden. I mean, clearly, he has diminished over the years, but I still can't believe THIS is who the DNC wanted to put on the face of America.

What a clown...
