President Joe Biden opened his mouth and promptly humiliated himself, his staff, and sadly this great nation with an awful flub that makes one wonder if Biden is fully there.
Speaking to the League of Conservation Voters at their annual dinner in Washington, D.C., Biden said we will build a railroad from the Pacific Ocean “across” the Indian Ocean.
Biden said: “We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean. We have plans to build in Angola, one of the largest solar plants in the world. I could go on, but I’m not.
“I’m going off script. I’m going to get in trouble.”
Biden’s comment was widely mocked on social media with one Twitter user calling it an “ocean train.”
“Bold initiative, Mr. President,” Fox News contributor and former GOP Congressman Jason Chaffetz said.
“That is going to be a heck of a railroad,” GOP consultant Matt Whitlock said.
“Put Grandpa to bed,” Missouri GOP Sen. Josh Hawley’s press secretary Abigail Marone posted.
A Twitter user said:
“Did you know we have plans to build a railroad across Indian Ocean?
“This is NEWS folks!!!!!!”
Another said: “F yeah!!!
“8,000 MILE OCEAN TRAIN! BIDEN 2024!!”
