Former President Joe Biden made a rare public appearance on Friday, where he struggled through his speech, as has often been the case over the past couple of years. Biden declared that “we’re the United States of Amerigotit” in his latest verbal gaffe during a speech before the International LGBTQ+ Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C.
“We just have to get up. As long as we keep the faith … and remember who the hell we are. We’re the United States of Amerigotit, that’s who we are! We’re the U.S.!” Biden said. The former president told the assembled lawmakers and activists that it was time to “fight back” against the Trump administration, which he accused of violating the Constitution.
“All of us are dismayed by the present state of the union,” he added. “This is no time to give up. It’s time to get up. Get up and fight back. Get up. Continue to fight. And what’s the fight all about? … it’s about protecting the Constitution. It’s about protecting the Constitution.”
The former president further accused President Donald Trump and his supporters of attempting to “distort and derail our fight for equality” and “further divide the country,” according to a report from Fox News.
“They’re trying to turn it into something scary, something sinister. But folks, it’s really not about anything that’s all that complicated. At its core, it’s about making every American given the opportunity to be treated with basic decency, dignity, and respect they all deserve. That’s what every single American deserves, every American,” he said.
