Iraq or Iran? Joe Biden seems to forget which war he voted for, while blasting Trump’s treatment of veterans
In a Florida speech promoting The Atlantic’s anonymously-sourced story that Donald Trump called veterans “losers” and “suckers”, Joe Biden added more gaffes to his list, including mixing up Iran with Iraq.
Biden made the slip-up when holding up his daily schedule, which he said has daily updates on US troop deaths overseas.
"U.S. troops died in Iran and Afghanistan, 6,000, as of today, 923," the former vice president and ex-senator, who voted for the Iraq War, said. "Not roughly 6,900 — 923, because every one of these fallen angels left behind a family, left behind a community. There is an empty seat at that table now."
“Joe Biden doesn't know the difference between Iran and Iraq, But wants to be president of the United States,” Twitter user Joel Fischer tweeted.
If a tree falls in the woods while Joe Biden calls Iraq -Iran, Cardi B files for divorce, and Kamala Harris gets shunned by a Doral restaurant - and no one hears it ... does it make a sound?
