WASHINGTON, DC: The NAACP speech delivered by President Joe Biden on Sunday, May 19, had nine corrections made by the White House in its transcript, according to Mediaite.

These included a false claim by Biden about being vice president during the pandemic and a mispronunciation of "insurrectionists" as "irrectionists."



 

The official transcript of the speech shows that the White House omitted nine words due to both factual and pronunciation errors made by the 81-year-old Commander-in-Chief.

What changes were made to the transcript of President Joe Biden’s NAACP speech by the White House?

President Biden's initial error occurred at the start of his speech when he recounted a tale of former President Barack Obama sending him to Detroit during the "pandemic."

However, Biden actually visited the Motor City to confer with representatives from the auto industry deeply affected by the recession. In the transcript, the White House replaced "pandemic" with "recession."

Shortly after, the POTUS expressed his gratitude to The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), by saying that he was "humbled to receive this organization."

The White House corrected the word "organization" in the transcript with "award."

The incumbent’s witty remark, "We're cracking down on corporate landlords who keep rents down," was also corrected to "We're cracking down on corporate landlords to keep rents down."

Another regrettable gaffe by the Democrat statesman where he called people involved in the Capitol riots "irrectionists" was changed to "insurrectionists."

President Biden misquoted former President Donald Trump by saying there would be “bloodshed” if he loses in November, when the 77-year-old MAGA strongman had said “bloodbath.”

Additionally, Biden mistakenly claimed to have saved millions of families “$800,000” per year in premiums but corrected himself during the speech to “$8,000 a year,” which was also incorrect. The transcript later corrected his slipup to the accurate number, which is $800 per year.

Other smaller mistakes in the transcript were also corrected, including moments where Biden said “inspiresing” in place of “inspiring,” “have” instead of “are,” and “NAAC” as opposed to “NAACP.”

A gaffe-ridden POTUS

Joe Biden has mispronounced the names of both current and former presidents of other nations on multiple occasions in the last year. In a number of speeches and interviews, the president has mispronounced the names of the heads of state of important US allies, including Mexico, Egypt, France, Germany, and Ukraine.

President Biden mispronounced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as "Vladimir" during a NATO conference in Lithuania in July of last year. This seemed to be a mix-up with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

During a recent speech at a California campaign rally, Biden made an error in condemning his political opponent, former President Donald Trump, for his relationship with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, whom he incorrectly referred to as the President of South Korea.

Biden said, “We’ll never forget his love letters for the South Korean President Kim Jong Un or his admiration for Putin — what a great leader Putin is.”

One X user remarked, "They basically have to redact everything he claims nowadays."



 

Another user said, "Wait until the debate! HAHA."



 

Another user claimed, "Corrections of lies, not mistakes! You can’t correct a lie."



 

One user wrote, "Half of what he says is a lie, plagiarized, fantasy make believe, or democrat propaganda, the other half is speech that no one has yet to be able to translate."



 

Another X user remarked, "Lies his entire speech to fool voters to get some document stating corrections that nobody will see.. Nice…"



 

Finally, this user tweeted, "Why would any thinking person vote for Joe Biden?"
