CHRISTIAN BREAKING NEWS: Here We Go Again: Did the US President Joe Biden Actually Forget Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s Name in His BET Interview? [#LloydAustin #SecretaryOfDefense #USSecretaryOfDefense #DefenseSecretary #USDefenseSecretary]

Social media commentators and journalists criticized US President Joe Biden for appearing to forget Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s name and just referring to him as a “Black man” in a recent interview, however some argued that the moment was misinterpreted.

Biden has made a number of media appearances after his terrible debate performance last month, which prompted calls for him to withdraw from the race.

“It’s all about treating people with dignity. I named the secretary of defense, a Black man.”

“I named Ketanji Brown,” he said, referring to his appointment of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court, in 2022.

It was unclear whether Biden had forgotten Austin’s name or was referring more broadly to Black administration members and appointees.

Political commentators and journalists were divided on Biden’s remarks, with some alleging that the president could not recall the name of one of his most crucial Cabinet members, while others said that the video was being misinterpreted.

Biden also told BET that he would consider dropping out of the presidential campaign if he got a medical condition that would prevent him from serving.

When questioned about what would force him to withdraw from the race, Biden told BET’s Ed Gordon that

“If I had some medical condition that emerged, the doctors came and said you’ve got this problem, that problem.”

Biden announced Wednesday that he tested positive with COVID-19 and was experiencing mild symptoms.
