Quick Hit:

During a campaign rally in Tampa, Florida Tuesday, Joe Biden accidentally admitted, "We can't be trusted" in his latest gaffe. The comment, which was met with laughter from the audience, has been seized upon by conservative commentators who have jokingly agreed with the President's unintended admission.

Key Details:

• President Biden made the comment during a rally focused on Florida's upcoming six-week abortion ban.
• This is the third notable verbal misstep by the President in the past week, following controversial comments on anti-Israel protests and a confusing statement about choosing "freedom over democracy."
• Conservative social media users and commentators have capitalized on the gaffe, with some humorously suggesting that Biden is endorsing former President Trump.

Diving Deeper:

During the Tampa rally, President Biden was addressing the issue of abortion rights and the opposition from former President Trump. However, his comment, "I don't know why we're surprised by Trump. How many times does he have to prove we can't be trusted?" was met with laughter from the audience. Seemingly unaware of his mistake, Biden continued his speech.

Conservative commentators were quick to seize upon the gaffe. Seth Dillon, CEO of Babylon Bee, noted that the comment was "not satire," while radio host Tony Kinnett humorously suggested that Biden might endorse Trump at this rate. Author Edward Dowd also chimed in, stating, "We have a perfect puppet in the seat of the president right now. He can't remember the lies handed to him and most of his supporters can't remember what they ate for lunch."

This incident marks the third verbal misstep by President Biden in the past week. He was previously criticized for his equivocal stance on the ongoing anti-Israel protests on college campuses nationwide. His comment, "I condemn the antisemitic protests. That's why I have set up a program to deal with that. I also condemn those who don't understand what's going on with the Palestinians," was met with backlash from several commentators. Additionally, Biden made a confusing statement urging people to "choose freedom over democracy," which further fueled criticism over Biden's age and fitness.
