WATCH: Biden Misses The Mark…Again!

He seems to be getting worse by the day—is it by design?

It’s no secret that Joe Biden’s cognitive decline has become so apparent that even allies within the Democrat Party are quietly attempting to ditch him, behind the scenes of course.

At the same time we are hearing whispers of growing discontent from Democrats, Biden’s cognitive slip-ups seem to be increasing in frequency.

The latest of these gaffes took place during a press conference on Wednesday featuring Joe Biden and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Biden appeared to miss his cues throughout the press conference and seemed to have upset Brazilian President Lula by forgetting to shake his hand. Watch the moment it happened below:

Notable journalist Simon Ateba remarked: “THIS IS THE STRANGEST THING I HAVE SEEN TODAY: The President of Brazil, Lula, standing next to President Biden says, “Can you hear me, President Biden?”, “President Biden, can you hear me?”

Reuters provided this statement Biden made at the outset of the press conference:

“The two largest democracies in the Western Hemisphere are standing up for human rights around the world and the hemisphere, and that includes workers’ rights,” Biden told Lula.

“Let me be clear, whether it’s the autoworkers union or any other union worker, record corporation profits should mean record contracts for union workers.” 

Editor-in-Chief of Conservative Brief, Martin Walsh shared a different portion of the press conference where Biden appeared to have missed a cue.

Biden walks on stage without Brazil’s President, almost knocks over a flag, then does a bizarre little jog to the podium.

In case you wanted to check out the press event in its entirety, Biden posted the full press speech to the X social media platform.

PBS News Hour had more:

“This meeting here, for me, is more than a bilateral meeting; it is the rebirth of a new era in the relationship between the U.S. and Brazil.

It is a relationship of equals,” Lula said. He later described it as “a golden moment for us.”

Initial hopes that Lula would prove a staunch ally for Biden have been tempered in recent months, with the Brazilian leader voicing opposition on some issues and at times even seeming to thumb his nose at Washington.
