Biden criticized for terrible “I’m doing 9/11” faux pas during NYC visit

President Biden told reporters on Tuesday that he was heading to New York City to “do a 9/11,” a faux pas that was mercilessly mocked by social media users.

The 81-year-old president, who had to abandon his re-election campaign in July due to increasing doubts about his mental state, made the verbal slip-up when he announced his travel plans for the near future.

“I’m going to New York for my granddaughter’s birthday,” Biden said on the White House lawn as he prepared to board his Marine One helicopter.

“Then we’ll watch the debate and tomorrow I’ll do 9/11,” the president added with unfortunate wording.

Biden was apparently referring to his planned participation in solemn memorial ceremonies marking the 23rd anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

Biden is scheduled to travel to Ground Zero in New York and the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, before returning to the Washington, DC area to commemorate the victims of the attack on the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia.

The verbal slip-up of the octogenarian president did not go unnoticed by X.

“OWE,” posted RNC Research, an X-account managed by the Republican National Committee.

“What?” tweeted TikTok’s Libs, sharing a clip of the faux pas.

Paul Williams, executive director of the Center for Public Enterprise think tank, showed an image of the Department of Homeland Security's famous color-coded terrorism alert system with the “Severe” marking.

Podcast host Mike Sperrazza tweeted, “He’s done,” apparently in a reference to Biden’s declining cognitive abilities.

“Kamala [Harris] “I covered this up for 4 years,” another social media user posted on X.

Biden's presidency was marked by hundreds of verbal misstatements and dozens of brutal gaffes that contributed to a majority of Americans believing he was unfit for a second term in the Oval Office.

His tendency to ramble and freeze at times was evident in his disastrous June 20 debate against former President Donald Trump.

Less than a month later, Biden withdrew from the presidential race at the urging of leading Democratic politicians and donors.

The president's latest faux pas came just hours before Vice President Kamala Harris – whom he endorsed as his successor on the Democratic ticket – took the stage and debated Trump for the first time in Philadelphia.
