President Joe Biden, 80, made an embarrassing misstep when he forgot the name of Martin Luther King III’s wife while starting a group singing the Happy Birthday song during an event honoring the late civil rights leader .
Arndrea Waters King’s birthday is January 16, which coincided with Martin Luther King Jr. Day this year.
During Biden’s remarks at the National Action Network’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day breakfast on Monday, he paused to encourage everyone to sing Happy Birthday to Waters King. The bizarre speech also included a moment in which the president called Republicans “fiscally insane.”
“Well, look, my wife has a rule in our family: when it’s someone’s birthday, you sing happy birthday,” the president said of first lady Jill Biden.
President Joe Biden forgot the name of Martin Luther King III’s wife, Arndrea Waters King, during the singing of the Happy Birthday song Monday.
The crowd laughed as Biden muttered what appeared to be the beginning of Valerie’s name into the microphone instead of saying Arndrea’s name in the verse.
But when it came time for Biden to put Waters King’s first name on the verse, Biden muttered.
Looks like he started saying Valerie’s name instead of Arndrea.
There was general laughter from the crowd as the president loudly muttered the incorrect and incoherent name into the microphone at The Mayflower hotel in Washington, DC.
The president concluded the latest blunder with a futile: ‘Good’.
Arndrea has been married to King III since 2006. The two have a daughter, Yolanda Renee King.
Biden attended the MLK Day breakfast with the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network (NAN) on Monday, where he delivered a bizarre and far-reaching speech.
On Sunday he traveled to Atlanta, Georgia, and became the first sitting president to deliver sermons at Ebenezer Baptist Church, once the church of the late civil right leader MLK Jr.
Arndrea Waters King married Martin Luther King III in 2006 and they have a daughter together. Waters King’s birthday is January 16, which this year coincided with Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
The president attacked Republicans during his speech on Monday for being “fiscally insane” in touting a $1 trillion reduction in the federal deficit.
“Listen to me, that’s a fact,” Biden said to scattered applause. “And hundreds of billions will be cut over the next decade.”
He then made a mumbled, muddled comment against the Republican Party, saying, ‘But so what? These guys, well, I think they’re fiscally insane.’
Republicans have repeatedly questioned Biden’s physical and mental fitness for office.
Biden’s use of the word “insane” on Monday comes as a surprise considering the weaponization of the word by the Republican Party in recent years, claiming that the president has some early sign of insanity.
