“We are the United States of America,” former President Joe Biden said in his latest gaffe during a speech at the International LGBTQ+ Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C. on Friday.
Biden slurred his words, urging elected officials, leaders and advocates to “keep fighting” for equality.
“We just need to stand up. As long as we keep the faith… and remember who we are. We are the United States of Amerigotite, that’s who we are! We are the USA!” Biden said:

Biden went on to affirm that it was time to “fight back” against the policies and actions of the Trump administration and protect the Constitution.
“We are all appalled by the current state of the union,” he added. “This is not the time to give up. It’s time to get up. Stand up and fight. Stand up. Keep fighting. So what is this fight about? … It’s about protecting the Constitution. It’s about protecting the Constitution.”

The former president accused President Donald Trump and his loyalists of trying to “distort and derail our fight for equality” and “further divide the country.”
“Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are trying to distort and derail our fight for equality,” he said. “They’re trying to turn this into something scary, something sinister. But, friends, this isn’t really about anything that complicated. At its heart, it’s about giving every American the opportunity to be treated with basic civility, dignity, and the respect they deserve. That’s what every American deserves.”
