Biden praises ‘Congressional Black Caucus’ during Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s 46th Annual Gala
President Biden complimented the merits of the “Congressional Black Caucus” during a speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Thursday, his third public speaking gaffe in just two days.
Biden, 80, made the mishap during a speech at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s 46th Annual Gala in Washington, D.C., as he celebrated gala award recipient Sister Norma Pimental, executive director of Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley.
He said: “I know Sister Norma lives the lessons nuns taught me growing up. Lessons based on the Gospel of Matthew: feed the hungry, care for the sick, welcome strangers. They echo what my dad taught me, and I mean this sincerely, my dad used to say, ‘Everyone, everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect.’ The Congressional Black Caucus embodies all those values.”
The incident took place the day after he forgot to shake the hand of Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, known as “Lula,” before leaving a joint press conference and, later that night, repeated the same story at a fundraiser just minutes apart.
