During his speech today about his “Executive Order to protect access to reproductive health care,” President Joe Biden grappled with the teleprompter and lost.
In one of numerous instances of him tripping over the words that had been written out for him, Biden appeared to accidentally read the stage directions as well as the lines he was supposed to say:

“End of quote. Repeat the line.” is getting a lot of attention now as a result. And the White House is attempting to do damage control.
Here’s White House assistant press secretary Emilie Simons’ contribution to the effort:
No. He said, "let me repeat that line."

Um, OK.
About that teleprompter: White House says, no, Biden didn't accidentally read the stage directions. https://t.co/RjIn9j3x4p

He didn’t? Could’ve fooled us.

Solid B+ for effort, Emilie.
What else would they say? https://t.co/gToJU6G7rE

Like, we get that it’s their job to protect Joe Biden and defend his honor and intelligence, but come on.
There is no “let.” It’s clear as day.

It’s even funnier when you realize Biden literally did not say what his comms staffer is telling you he said.pic.twitter.com/PFC6wTY4n5 https://t.co/9FzzuXcQYY

The Biden White House is just a bottomless barrel of embarrassment.
Yes, I totally believe you and your boss is definitely not a vegetable.

Considering how many times the White House has had to run interference for Joe Biden or clean up his messes, you’d think they’d be a little better at it by now.
