'That's a good law': Joe Biden trolled as he butchers name of 2022 law in latest gaffe

CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE: President Joe Biden faced renewed scrutiny following his latest verbal misstep during a speech in New Hampshire on Tuesday, May 21.

The president, who traveled to the Granite State to discuss the significant impacts of the PACT Act—a 2022 law aimed at aiding veterans exposed to toxic substances during their service—found himself at the center of social media ridicule after stumbling over the act's name.

Internet trolls Joe Biden over latest gaffe 

The gaffe occurred toward the end of his speech when Biden attempted to mention the PACT Act but faltered, saying, "Let me close with this, after I signed the pack-[unintelligible] act into law." The clip quickly went viral, overshadowing the president's intended message about the legislation's benefits.

Social media was inundated with reactions mocking the President.

"At what point do you ask yourself, are we actually watching a movie and the joke is on us?" one posted on X.

"We are so screwed stay tuned for next episode of jokes on you and me," another wrote.

"No Joke!" someone else quipped, referring to one of Biden's go-to phrases.

"I heard him just fine. He said packalackalack," a comment read.

"That’s a good law," another joked.

Joe Biden's frequent gaffes

This incident followed closely on the heels of another gaffe-ridden speech Biden gave to the NAACP in Michigan the previous night. During that address, Biden made several confusing remarks, including an erroneous suggestion that he had been vice president during the Covid-19 pandemic, which began nearly four years after he left office.

"When I was vice president, things were kind of bad during the pandemic," he said, before attributing a directive to then-President Obama to fix issues in Detroit—a statement the White House later clarified was meant to refer to the Great Recession of 2009.

The official transcript of the speech was amended to read, "And when I was vice president, things were kind of bad during the pandemic [recession], and what happened was Barack said to me, ‘Go to Detroit and help fix it.’"

Other corrections included rectifying the president's claim that families saved $800,000 annually from the Affordable Care Act and clarifying his fight against corporate landlords, among others.

Additional corrections noted Biden's mispronunciations of "inspiring" and "insurrectionists," which he mangled as "inspiresing" and "irrectionists." The White House defended the president’s overall message despite these slip-ups.

Acting Deputy Press Secretary Sam Michel told Fox News, "We’re focused on the substance of the transcript and the heart of President Biden’s speech: how he is fighting for Americans by lowering the cost of prescription drugs, making transformational investments in HBCUs, and protecting Medicare and Social Security."

These frequent gaffes have become a significant talking point as Biden ramps up his campaign activities. In April, a series of missteps included Biden seemingly reading teleprompter instructions aloud during a speech, saying, "Imagine what we could do next. Four more years, pause," followed by laughter from the audience.

At a Florida campaign rally on Tuesday, Biden further fueled criticism by inadvertently casting doubt on his own party. While condemning former President Trump's stance on abortion, he mistakenly stated, "I don’t know why we’re surprised by Trump. How many times does he have to prove we can't be trusted?"
