During a series of public speaking appearances on Monday, President Joe Biden celebrated his 81st birthday and discussed Thanksgiving, while rambling about his love for young children before running back into the White House during the turkey pardon ceremony.
Among the statements made by Biden were telling a 6-year-old girl “I love your ears,”before asking if she was “17” years old for some reason, as wells as later saying “They can actually sang birthday to me” and “I like kids better than people.”

Biden’s actions received widespread criticism on social media.
Ad reported previously by Valiant News, Biden erroneously referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as “President Harris” last week. The incident took place on Monday, November 13, during a White House event honoring the Las Vegas Gold Knights, the Stanley Cup champions.
The President’s verbal slip-up quickly garnered attention, as it marked another instance in a series of similar gaffes. Notably, this is not the first time that President Biden has mistakenly addressed Vice President Harris with the presidential title.
Observers and critics were quick to express their concerns, citing the incident as an example of President Biden’s repeated missteps. Some have suggested these instances could potentially undermine the credibility of the administration, while others argue they are harmless errors.
It remains to be seen how the administration will address these recurrent errors. However, what is clear is that these gaffes continue to draw significant attention, fueling ongoing debates about the current state of the Presidency.
