New Delhi: During an official visit to the Middle-East region, US president Joe Biden seem to make yet another verbal gaffe in his first stop to Israel on Wednesday.
In his address in Israel, Biden accidentally said “truth and honour of the holocaust” instead of ‘horror’, though the latter corrected himself quickly. The video clip of the incident surfaced online and went viral within minutes.
In the viral clip, Biden can be heard saying, “Later today, I will once more return to the hallowed ground of Yad Vashem to honor the 6 million Jewish lives that were stolen in a genocide and continue, which we must do every, every day — continue to bear witness, to keep alive the truth and honour of the Holocaust — horror of the Holocaust — honour those we lost, so that we never, ever forget that lesson…”.
Watch:
A Twitter user Benny Johnson posted the video with caption, “Biden leaves crowd in STUNNED silence during official Israel visit after telling them to ‘keep alive the honour of the Holocaust’ after his brain BREAKS”.
