Joe Biden spoke at a Madrid press conference this morning, addressing a range of topics, as well as what was discussed during the Summit. The most important news however was his comments about the Supreme Court.
When he attempted to discuss Sweden and Finland joining NATO, he made a big gaffe.
He mistakenly confused Sweden with Switzerland. True, both start with “Sw,” but they are hardly the same country. But that’s where we are with Joe Biden now.

After answering questions, he then opened up the presser and allowed reporters to ask him. He had a list of reporters and indicated he had been “told” who to call on.
“Um, I’m supposed to go down the list here…”

First, the question asked why 85% of Americans believed America is on the wrong path. Biden replied that leaders did not believe that America was heading backward and that the U.S. has the best economy. He also tried to claim that our inflation rate was “lower than other nations in the world.”

Americans feel crushed by inflation. Joe Biden is continuing to tell the lie, despite not receiving enough support from media.
Biden also repeated his lie that gas and food prices were high because of “Russia, Russia, Russia.”

Biden, however, attacked the Supreme Court on foreign soil in an unusual fashion, trying to legitimize another branch. He claimed that, while he did great work, Americans are unhappy with the Court. Biden called the Court’s decision “to overturn”. Roe V. Wade “outrageous” and said that was “one thing that has been destabilizing” to the country. Not inflation or anything he’d done to drive the country into chaos. Now, in addition to Putin, he’s blaming the Supreme Court.

Biden said that he supported a modification to the filibuster.

Even though I was a strong advocate of filibuster, I believe it is dangerous to alter it.
Democrats have defended Senate filibuster FOR DECADES.
They have now completely changed!pic.twitter.com/20JTPruw4k

Biden also lied repeatedly saying that the Court was attacking the “right to privacy” in general beyond abortion. Their decision did not apply to abortion, as the Court stated.
Biden on the abortion decision: “I really think that it is a serious, serious problem that the Court has thrust upon the United States, not just in terms of the right to choose, but in terms of right to who you can marry, the right — a whole range of issues relating to privacy.” pic.twitter.com/PxbsdBvw74

He said they were going to do everything they could to fight the decision — including working with executive orders. But then he got to the Democrats’ main point on it, encouraging people to “vote, vote, vote,” but not explaining why Democrats haven’t changed it already when they’ve had power now and in the past.
It’s despicable that he would not only attack the Court on foreign soil but lie about it in the process. He can’t deflect from the economy and his own disasters and Americans know where the blame lies.
