Biden Comms Staffer Lies About Extremely ‘Senior Moment’ With Teleprompter
For those who paid attention to President Biden’s attempt at giving a speech on Friday, you may have noticed that the 79-year-old president has gone full Ron Burgandy – reading literally whatever is on the teleprompter, including “end of quote” and “repeat the line” – which were obviously cues for Biden’s ‘inside voice’ and not to be read.

Enter Emilie Simons, Biden’s assistant press secretary – who straight-up lies, claiming Biden ackshually said: “let me repeat the line.”
No. He said, “let me repeat that line.”

Which earned Simons a nice ratio…
In response, digital strategist Greg Price slows down the clip to emphasize her lie.
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

Even if he did say “let me repeat that line” (which he didn’t), he did not go on to repeat the line.
