Biden Has Absurd ’20th Century’ Gaffe at WH with Japanese PM

During an exchange with reporters at the White House on Wednesday, President Joe Biden claimed he was living in the 20th century as he made a pitch to voters to elect him to a second term.

In the Rose Garden, a reporter asked Biden about a Tuesday Arizona Supreme Court ruling that outlaws most abortions in the state.

The court ruled that a ban on abortions from 1864 was still valid. That law allows exceptions for abortion if the life of the mother is in jeopardy.

According to an official White House transcript, the question was:

Do you think Biden is mentally fit to be president?

“On the issue of abortion, sir, respectfully, what do you say to the people of Arizona right now who are witnessing a law go in place that dates back to the Civil War era?”

The reporter was identified by the New York Post as Peter Alexander of NBC News.

Biden responded with a claim that he was the candidate to remedy the issue for Arizonans upset by it.

The president responded, “Elect me.”

“I’m in the 20 – 20th century,” he then said.

“It’s the 21st century, not back then,” he added, according to the transcript. “They weren’t even a state…”

The comment went viral on social media:

The law was passed by the first Arizona Territorial Legislature, which governed the area before it became a state in 1912, according to USA Today.

According to The Associated Press, the 1864 law was blocked in 1973 by the Supreme Court’s ruling on Roe v. Wade.

With Roe reversed in 2022, the Arizona high court ruled Tuesday that the 18th-century law stood.

A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor

The Western Journal
