President Joe Biden misspoke during a speech on Wednesday evening, stating that Americans settle their differences “peacively [sic]at the battle box.”
“We don’t settle our differences in America with a riot, a mob, or a bullet, or a hammer,” Biden said. “We settle them peacively at the battle box, at the battle box, ballot box.”
“Peacively” is not a word.
Biden doubled down on attacking Republicans during Wednesday night’s speech, drawing mixed at a time where political polarization in the US is drawing increased scrutiny.

In August, Biden rambled about “brave right-wing Americans” needing F-15 fighter jet aircraft to “fight against the country.”
“And for those brave right-wing Americans who say it’s all about keeping America – keeping America’s independent and safe [sic], if you want to fight against the country, you need an F-15,” Biden said. “You need a something a little more than a gun.”
The line received a smattering of light, nervous laughter from the audience as the president said “No, I’m not joking, think about this. Think about the rationale we use.”
Biden was caught on camera willingly handing over his photo ID to vote in the 2022 Midterm elections, after claiming voter identification requirements were racist and “Jim Crow in the 21st century.”
The president, almost 80, showed up to vote in Delaware with his granddaughter Natalie, and was asked to present valid photo ID by poll workers.
The elderly president then fished in his pocket for his billfold, produced the ID, and handed it over to the poll workers while they clapped for him.
Biden had previously claimed that election integrity laws requiring photo ID to vote, such as those advanced by Republicans in Georgia, were tantamount to “Jim Crow in the 21st century.”
