00:00Biden Speaks at DC Conference
00:02President Joe Biden spoke at a Washington, D.C. event hosted by the Victory Institute,
00:08where he accepted an award and declared his administration the most LGBTQ plus inclusive in U.S. history.
00:15Rather than addressing issues like inflation, border security, or crime,
00:19Biden highlighted representation as a defining achievement,
00:23prompting criticism that he remains disconnected from national concerns.
00:27During his remarks, Biden repeated a familiar anecdote about supporting same-sex marriage in 2012,
00:34before the Obama administration officially shifted its stance.
00:38As the speech went on, he launched into an intense call to action, shouting,
00:42Get up and fight back!
00:43and insisting the moment was about protecting the Constitution.
00:47Critics noted the irony, pointing out that Biden previously attempted to declare the Equal Rights Amendment ratified,
00:53despite it not meeting constitutional requirements.
00:55Observers quickly noted the contrast in media coverage.
01:00Similar language from a Republican would likely trigger accusations of extremism or incitement,
01:05while Biden's tone is consistently portrayed as passion rather than aggression.
01:10Biden also stumbled through several familiar lines urging the audience to remember
01:14who in the hell we are, before concluding with a mispronunciation of the country's name.
01:19We're the United States of Amerigotet.
01:22The slip fueled renewed concerns about his verbal missteps and their implications for leadership.
01:29Another awkward moment came when Biden attempted to praise his diverse administration,
01:33but referred to his own press secretary as Kareem, instead of Kareem Jean-Pierre.
01:38The speech served as a reminder to many critics of why he is no longer in the White House.
01:43The blend of shouting, misstatements, and off-script moments
01:46reinforced the perception of an administration defined more by symbolism than effective governance.
01:53For opponents, it highlighted the need to keep Biden and the Democratic Party out of the Oval Office,
01:58offering yet another example of the disconnect they see between his messaging and the country's priorities.
