During a recent address at the International LGBTQ+ Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C., President Joe Biden experienced yet another verbal misstep, declaring, "We're the United States of Amerigotit."
This latest gaffe occurred as he was rallying elected officials, leaders, and advocates to persist in their efforts for equality.
According to Fox News, Biden's speech emphasized the necessity of resilience and faith, urging, "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.!"
The President's remarks also included a call to action against the policies and actions of the Trump administration, which he claimed threaten the Constitution. "All of us are dismayed by the present state of the union," Biden stated. "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."
In his critique of President Donald Trump and his supporters, Biden accused them of attempting to "distort and derail our fight for equality" and further polarize the nation. He argued, "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."
During the event, Biden was honored with the Chris Abele Impact Award, recognizing his contributions to advancing LGBTQ+ rights during his tenure. The accolade is named after Chris Abele, a board member of LGBTQ+ Victory Action. The Associated Press also contributed to this report.
