President Biden ended some remarks he gave this week on a strange note — wishing health and prosperity on the Queen of England … even though she’s already kicked the bucket.
Joe was at the University of Hartford in Connecticut Friday, where he was giving a keynote speech for the National Safer Communities Summit … where he was in front of a crowd featuring a ton of gun control activists. All was going well — until the very end.
Watch … JB starts to joke around with the crowd, and right before he leaves the podium — he says, “Alright. God save the Queen, man.” The crowd, weirdly enough, loved it.
Unclear why POTUS ended his speech this way — for 2 reasons. One, he wasn’t in England or across the pond, and definitely wasn’t talking to a UK crowd. These were just regular old Americans. Of course, more importantly … Queen Eliabeth II has been dead for months.
A lot of folks are circulating this clip/roasting Joe for it. On its face, it’s just another gaffe.
While the Prez had kind words for the late monarch, her son probably would’ve appreciated Joe’s well-wishes … especially heading into the weekend, where he celebrated his first Trooping the Colour parade — which is a celebration of his first year as the new King.
