Former President Joe Biden made the comments during a speech at the International LGBTQ+ Leaders Conference
Former President Joe Biden said, “We’re the United States of Amerigotit” in his latest gaffe during a speech on Friday at the International LGBTQ+ Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C.
Biden was urging elected officials, leaders and advocates to “continue the fight” for equality when he slurred his words.
“We just have to get up. As long as we keep the faith … and remember who the hell we are. We’re the United States of Amerigotit, that’s who we are! We’re the U.S.!” Biden said.
Biden continued to affirm that it is time to “fight back” and protect the Constitution in the face of the Trump administration’s policies and actions.
“All of us are dismayed by the present state of the union,” he added. “This is no time to give up. It’s time to get up. Get up and fight back. Get up. Continue to fight. And what’s the fight all about? … it’s about protecting the Constitution. It’s about protecting the Constitution.”
