Biden Stumbles Over Question About Americans Wounded by Iranian Attacks (VIDEO)

Speaking to reporters during a joint press conference with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in the Rose Garden Wednesday afternoon, President Joe Biden was asked about a number of attacks launched on U.S. forces in recent days, injuring 24 U.S. service members stationed throughout the Middle East. A U.S. contractor died of a heart attack after coming under heavy rocket fire on Al-Asad Airbase in Iraq .

Biden stumbled through his response and at one point said “well, anyway.”

“Two dozen American military personnel were wounded last week in a series of drone attacks at American bases in Iraq and Syria, U.S. Central Command told NBC News on Tuesday.”

And zero military response with more attacks coming every day since. https://t.co/soIFXVELO9
