President Biden on Tuesday again flubbed what was supposed to be an applause line in a speech about his efforts to lower prescription drug costs.
It was the second time this month Mr. Biden botched the same line while decrying the cost of drug prices for Americans. The president attempted to argue that if Americans traveled to international cities, they would be able to buy the same drugs cheaper.
“If we drove out to the airport and put you on Air Force One and you had a prescription you needed to fill, and it was an American company that made it, I’d say, ‘Ok. Let’s fly to Toronto or Berlin or to London or to Rome or any other major city in America.’” Mr. Biden said in a speech from Las Vegas.
Mr. Biden bungled the line earlier this month during his State of the Union remarks by mistakenly including Moscow as among the cities with cheaper prescription drugs. The president tried to correct himself, but it is unclear which city he meant to say.
“Folks, I am going to get in trouble for saying this, but maybe you want to get into Air Force One with me and fly to Toronto, Berlin, Moscow — I mean, excuse me — well even in Moscow, probably,” he said.
It is also the second time in a week Mr. Biden appeared confused about America. In a Milwaukee speech last week, he declared that the U.S. has the lowest inflation rate “in America.”
