As the 2024 presidential campaign heats up, President Joe Biden’s penchant for verbal missteps has once again come under the spotlight, particularly during a recent event at Gateway Technical College in Racine, Wisconsin. Known for his gaffes, Biden’s latest slip-up during this campaign speech has intensified concerns about his cognitive capabilities and overall fitness to serve another term in the White House.
In his speech, Biden aimed to connect with the audience by sharing anecdotes from his past, starting with, “look, before I get started, I want to set the record straight.” He continued by recalling his time at a Catholic high school in Delaware, taught by Norbertine priests from St. Norbert’s College. He attempted to relate this to the Green Bay Packers, stating, “We were the only high school in Delaware that overwhelmingly rooted for Green Bay — not a joke, I’ll tell you why. Every single Sunday — not only did they have great teams at the time, still do — but not only that, my theology professor at the Catholic school I went to — was a guy named Reilly, last name — and he had been drafted by the Green Bay Packers, and he decided to become a priest before that, so he didn’t go.”

However, the delivery was not without its problems. For one, Biden seemed to confuse his words, mentioning “Reilly, last name,” which could suggest he inadvertently read aloud stage directions from the teleprompter. This wasn’t the only issue; the anecdote itself appears to be fabricated. According to the New York Post, there was no record of such a person being drafted by the NFL, further tarnishing the authenticity of Biden’s story.
