US President Joe Biden joked about his frequent blunders and slips of the tongue, while confusing the name of a Democratic congressman from Virginia three times.
⠀
Biden made another blunder during a speech in Springfield. Upon entering the stage, the American president asked those present to sit down, recalling that he once called on guests at a campaign event to take seats that were not there. “They said that Biden is really stupid and does not know about it,” the head of state joked.
⠀
After that, he turned to “Congressman Doug“, confusing the name of the member of the House of Representatives from the local constituency, Don Beyer, who was present at the event. Finding the congressman with a glance, Biden thanked “Doug” for facilitating his visit.
⠀
“Doug and I have something in common: we both married those who occupy a higher position in society,” the American president said.

Biden, who turned 80 last year, became the oldest president of the United States in history. He regularly gets into funny situations, the opponents of the American leader consider age and possible health problems to be the reason for this.
