(Headline USA) President Joe Biden appeared to forget the name of Hamas during a bumbling press conference on Tuesday, The Telegraph reported.

The 81-year-old was asked about ongoing hostage negotiations between Israel and the terrorist organization after delivering a speech on the new border security bill introduced in the Senate.

“There is some movement, and I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna …” he began, before pausing and staring blankly ahead.

“Let me choose my words: There’s some movement, there’s been … a response from the, uh…,” he said, again pausing. “There’s been a response … from … the opposition, but, um…”

Biden then looked to his left, toward his aides. A reporter eventually chimed in, asking whether he was referring to Hamas.

“Yes, I’m sorry, from Hamas,” he said. “But it seems to be a little over the top. We’re not sure where it is. There’s a continuing negotiation right now.”

Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn., who is challenging Biden for the Democratic nomination, said the party needs to face facts when it comes to Biden’s mental fitness.

“I’m attacked for being honest and saying the quiet part out loud—the part DC insiders only do in private,” he tweeted.

“I admire our President. I voted for him and campaigned for him. He has visited my home and been gracious to my family and our country,” Phillips continued. “But shame on all of you pretending everything is OK. You are leading us—and him—into a disaster, and you damn well know it.”

Former President Donald Trump’s team also blasted Biden, saying, “Lights are on but no one is home.”

Recent polls have found the majority of Americans, including Democrats, believe Biden is too old to seek reelection.

A national NBC poll released on Tuesday found that 76% of all voters have major or moderate concerns about the president’s age and mental and physical health, including 54% of his voter Democratic base.

Its a wonder Joe didnt accuse President Trump as the enemy though he did say “opposition”

Yes, he forgot the name Hamas, although I am surprised he called them the opposition rather his than usual go to, Extreme Maga Republicans.

This is 100% proof that the media is corrupt! Could you even visualize if this were President Trump making these gaffes? WOW. When Trump paused to go down a ramp that was a nightmare of a slope in slippery conditions they were ready to 25th him! Biden is now a 24/7 gaffe machine and they do nothing! We are in an alternate universe right now.

There must be some pretty big influence-peddling deals pending.

The only reason why Biden is still out there putting himself through very embarrassing ordeals.

Hunter must have told him he needs to show he’s still got influence——
so he has to stay visible till the checks clear.

Exactly. He views both MAGA and Hamas in the same light.

In its report on this, NBC News deleted almost all of the stuttering and stammering, making it sound like only an instantaneous pause before going right on.

In his second mix-up this week, Biden talks about meeting with dead European leaders

Feb. 7, 2024, 10:10 PM EST
By Zoë Richards
President Joe Biden on Wednesday twice referred to the late German chancellor Helmut Kohl instead of former Chancellor Angela Merkel while detailing a 2021 conversation at campaign events.

It was the second time this week that Biden had recalled speaking with a European leader who had died years earlier.

My grandfather, who was about the same age as Biden, would say stuff like, “I talked to so-and-so yesterday and he said ....”

And Mr. So-and-so had been dead for thirty years...............
