PRESIDENT Joe Biden made a gaffe Tuesday night during his State of the Union address when he said Iranians when referring to Ukrainians.
The president was discussing the ongoing Russian invasion in Ukraine when he misspoke.
“Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he’ll never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people,” said Biden.
The mistake was quickly mentioned on social media by journalists and political commentators.
“Did Biden say the Iranian people?” wrote Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Twitter.
Joe Biden just said Putin will never weaken the will of the Iranian people. He meant the Ukrainian people. Good lord.” said political commentator Clay Travis.
Meanwhile, others, such as journalist Josh Rogin didn’t want people to become distracted by the mistake. “Yes, Biden said Iranian when he met Ukrainian. Let’s not make a thing of it,” he wrote.
