Biden Mumbles Nonsense While Singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to Kid He Brought on Stage
President Biden’s fumble went viral across social media after another embarrassing gaffe while singing “Happy Birthday” to a White House guest.
During an event marking the signing of the Social Security Fairness Act on Sunday, Biden attempted to sing “Happy Birthday” to 17-year-old Eliseo Jimenez. Jimenez became nationally known after he walked from Lubbock, Texas, to Washington, D.C. in order to spread awareness about the limits of Social Security.
“Eliseo is just around the corner from receiving Social Security,” Biden joked before announcing that Jimenez’s birthday was the next day.
Less than a minute later, Biden appeared to either forget his name entirely or how to correctly say it while leading the audience in singing “Happy Birthday,” mumbling instead as the crowd sang, “…dear Eliseo.” The mumble was so pronounced that Jimenez reacted and laughed as if it were a joke.
This verbal error from Biden was the latest of many gaffes that have made Americans, particularly his critics, skeptical about his mental acuity and wary of his defenders.
Biden brought a guy on stage to sing happy birthday to him…
The problem is he either doesn't know his name or forgot it… and mumbled nonsense instead.
