Joe Biden spoke at a Madrid press conference this morning, addressing a range of topics, including the Summit. The most important news however was his comments about the Supreme Court.
He made a big gaffe when trying to discuss Sweden and Finland joining NATO.
He misunderstood Sweden and Switzerland. Both countries start with the letter “Sw”, but they are not the same. That’s Joe Biden right now.

He then opened the presser for questions from reporters. He was given a list of reporters to consult and indicated that he had been told who to call.

The first question asked about why 85 percent believed America was on the wrong path. Biden replied that leaders did not believe that America was heading backward and that the U.S. has the strongest economy. Biden also claimed that the U.S. inflation rate was lower than other countries.

Americans are being crushed under inflation, but they know better. Joe Biden continues to tell this lie without any support from the media.
Biden also repeated the lie that food and gas prices were too high due to Russia, Russia, Russia.
Joe Biden continues to blame everything on Vladimir Putin.

Biden, however, attacked the Supreme Court in a unique fashion on foreign soil. He tried to delegitimize another branch of government and claimed that, while he was doing great things, Americans weren’t happy with the Court. He called the decision to repeal Roe v. Wade “outrageous” as well as stated that it was “one thing that has been a destabilizing factor to the country.” He didn’t cause inflation or any other chaos in the country. He’s now blaming the Supreme Court, along with Putin.

Biden stated that he was open to changing the filibuster regarding this issue.

Despite being a strong supporter of the filibuster in past, he said that it would be risky to change it.

Biden repeatedly claimed that the Court was attacking privacy in general, beyond abortion. The Court specifically stated that their decision did not apply to abortion.

Should Americans have confidence in the court as an institution?” pic.twitter.com/XFbPots190

He stated that they would do all they could to oppose the decision, including using executive orders. He then got to the Democrats’ main point, encouraging people “vote and vote, vote” but not explaining why Democrats hadn’t changed it when they were in power.
It is a shame that he would lie about the Court and attack it on foreign soil. He cannot ignore the economy or his own mistakes, and Americans are well aware of the source.
