Twitter was buzzing about Biden's slip of the tongue, having called Vice President Kamala Harris the First Lady. Many Twitter users claimed this was not the only gaffe he made during his speech. "During a 14-minute speech just now, Biden announced he has covid (he does not), said Kamala is the 'first lady,' called Doug Emhoff the 'second lady,' forgot his UN ambassador's name, and forgot what state his Energy Secretary was governor of," one person tweeted.
"This isn't even funny anymore," another individual tweeted, adding, "I can't believe this guy is in the White House. Biden saying the First Lady's husband contracted Covid not understanding what the hell he is actually saying."
If you watch the clip of what was said, you see someone off stage correcting Biden when he says the First Lady's husband has COVID. Biden laughs, but then calls Emhoff the "second lady" before landing on the correct term: second gentleman.
It's important to note that Biden's supporters also spoke out on Twitter with some people commending him for having a little fun with himself and not taking a slip of the tongue too seriously.
