President Biden has been ripped apart after inferring that Black and Hispanic workers don’t have “high school diplomas” in another humiliating mistake.
The 80-year-old president was promoting the economy at Prince George’s Community College in Maryland on Thursday when he made his latest mistake.
“We’ve seen record lows in unemployment in particular – and I’ve focused on this my entire career – particularly for African-American and Hispanic workers and veterans, you know, workers without high school diplomas,” he said in televised comments.
However, according to the transcript released by the White House, there was supposed to be the word “and” separating African American workers, Hispanics and veterans from those without high school diplomas.
Biden’s speech would then say: “We’ve seen historic lows in unemployment, in particular (and I’ve focused on this my entire career), particularly for African American and Hispanic workers and veterans, you know, and workers without college degrees. high school”.

In July, Biden accidentally provided a low estimate of the COVID-19 death toll, saying that “more than 100” Americans have died from the disease since it emerged more than three years ago.
His comments were later corrected to “over 1 million” in an official White House transcript.
