Biden mocked after apparent teleprompter issue during coronavirus remarks: ‘Let me go to the second thing’

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden was mocked on Monday after the gaffe-prone 2020 Democratic front-runner appeared to lose his train of thought when his teleprompter malfunctioned during remarks on the coronavirus pandemic.

Biden's remarks, livestreamed from a studio set up in his home, began with his touching his face despite ongoing warnings not to do that during the coronavirus pandemic. His remarks were also short compared with the president's near-daily coronavirus briefings, lasting less than 15 minutes in total, and featured a clear teleprompter issue that became a social media punchline.

Be reasonable. Who wouldn't need a teleprompter in order to speak to a classroom full of fifth graders?

When I was a fifth grader, our teacher never used a teleprompter, but that was back in the Dark Ages before electricity was invented.

I guess Biden won’t be doing any of his little speeches live any more.

Honestly, I am embarrassed for his supporters. I mean the people who carry “Biden” placards and show up at his rallies, how in the world can they support this guy? I can’t imagine supporting any Republican who presents as feeble as Biden does now. Sad they are abusing this guy. He needs to stay at home and finish his oatmeal.

Nobody seems to know.
I snarked that perhaps he’s negotiating with the Arkansas family court to reduce Hunter’s child support payments to the stripper girlfriend.

No wonder the shift to Cuomo. At lease Cuomo can do powerpoints.

Joe Biden served his purpose of blocking Bernie from getting the nomination. Maybe the DNC will find a way to give the nomination to someone who can at least project an image of competence on camera. Competence is not the criterion, but fooling the public into thinking the nominee is competent is important.

When I was in 5th grade my teacher was a guy who drove a tank ashore on D-Day.

He didn’t need a teleprompter.

You couldn’t have just clarified that from the beginning so we aren’t having to play a few rounds of retard bingo?

As bleak as things seem, it could well be that the only thing to save us is Joe Biden.

Before you flame away, think about what I said.
= = = = = = = = =

Obviously, if BIDEN is the answer, yes we are doomed as a nation and/or it must have been one DUMB QUESTION...

I wouldn’t trust Biden to pour whizz out of a boot if the instructions were printed on the heel.

Unlike BO, BIDEN is going to be hard pressed to find a VEEP that is dumber and more objectionable than him to be his #2, picking BIDEN as VP was one of a very few BRILLIANT moves BO did...I can’t think of anything else offhand.... ALL JB did was ensure BO 2 terms etc etc etc

His train of thought left the station long ago.

It has occurred to me the DNC will do that; in fact, as things look now, they have to pull the plug on Plugs. It will be Cuomo.

I sometimes see Bernie stickers and even Obama stickers. I think I’ve yet to see a Biden sticker.

I certainly hope that child is not exposed to the Bidens until he decides for himself as an adult. That mom doesn’t need that nightmare.

So what might be saying is this is media driven hoax and if Biden becomes President, nobody will talk about it anymore.

I see twice as many Cuomo stickers as I've seen Biden stickers.
