President Joe Biden had a verbal slip when he accidentally said ‘prostitute’ during a speech.
WATCH Joe Biden’s gaffe video:
Biden was talking about fighting gun crime when he said: “Imagine had the tobacco industry been immune to prostitute being sued, come on.”
The White House refused to type what the president appeared to say and did not write ‘prostitute’ on the official transcript, as seen here:
Imagine had the tobacco industry been immune to prost- — to being sued. Come on.
In February, the families of nine of the Sandy Hook shooting victims achieved a settlement against the maker of guns that was used to kill their children.
The Sandy — Sandy Hook folks are here. Do you — will you be embarrassed if I ask you to stand up? (Applause.) These folks right here did more to keep all of this going than anybody. We owe you, man. We owe you. (Applause.) It never goes away, does it? God love you.
Look, this is incredibly rare because gun manufacturers have more immunity from liability than any other American industry, so they have never had to take responsibility for the death and destruction their products cause. But as part of this settlement, Remington agreed to release thousands of pages of internal documents.
You did that.
It’s unclear why the White House would amend a transcript, even if Biden made a mistake – that mistake should still be on record.
