President Biden on Saturday appeared to mix up NATO with Ukraine when calling on House members to come back to Washington, D.C., to vote on a bill that would fund Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018The idea that we\u2019re going to walk away from Ukraine, the idea that we\u2019re going to begin to let NATO split is totally against the interests of the United States of America, and it\u2019s against our word we\u2019ve given since all the way back to Eisenhower,\u2019 Biden told reports in Delaware Saturday. \u2018So it\u2019s about time we make sure Congress come home and pass the legislation funding NATO.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Senate this week passed the bipartisan bill that would give $95.3 million in funding to the three allies for defense purposes, but the House of Representatives is on a two-week break and House Speaker Mike Johnson has said the House won\u2019t \u2018rush\u2019 to pass it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 81-year-old\u2019s mental fitness has been under scrutiny since Special Counsel Robert Hur\u2019s report on the president\u2019s mishandling of classified documents last week said he had a \u2018poor memory.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,\u2019 Hur wrote in the report explaining that the president would not face any charges.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Republican National Committee\u2019s rapid response X, formerly Twitter, account RNC Research seized on the gaffe posting a clip and writing, \u2018Ukraine isn\u2019t in NATO \u2014 neither are Israel and Taiwan.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

Biden, notorious for gaffes, also mixed up the presidents of Mexico and Egypt last week, and while speaking\u00a0at the House Democratic Caucus Issues Conference confused \u2018red state and blue state\u2019 with \u2018red state and green state\u2019 while giving his remarks.<\/p>\n

\u2018When I said \u2014 when I pushed these programs \u2014 I said I\u2019m going to be the president of everybody we live in a red state or green state,\u2019 Biden said.<\/p>\n

Former President Trump, the Republican frontrunner, has also had his share of gaffes, most recently appearing to confuse opponent Nikki Haley for former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
