Joe Biden accidentally reveals embarrassing staff note

US president Joe Biden accidentally revealed an awkward note from his staff telling him there was something on his face during a governors meeting.

Joe Biden accidentally revealed a note from his staff telling him there was something on his face after a yellow mark was spotted on his chin during a meeting with governors on Friday.

The President was holding a meeting on the White House campus about wildfire prevention when he was caught off-guard by the message.

Video of the moment quickly went viral on social media after Mr Biden picked up the note the wrong way round, showcasing its message to the room.

The clip was shared by the Republican National Committee, showing a staffer sidle up to Mr Biden and put a piece of paper on the table while Vice President Kamala Harris was addressing the governors.

Mr Biden picked up the note before immediately wiping his chin on reading the message.

The President is then shown looking at his hand to see if he managed to wipe the yellow mark off. He then returns his hand to his chin, with the RNC claiming he put something in his mouth.

Ms Harris continued speaking, unaware of the distraction over the President’s note.

Caught off guard

During the meeting with the line-up of governors, including California’s Gavin Newsom, Washington’s Jay Inslee, and Minnesota’s Tim Walz, Mr Biden used the piece of paper to scribble notes.

He picked it back up to read the notes back, displaying the aide’s message to photographers.

“Sir, there is something on your chin,” it read.

Mr Biden was mocked for the clip, with the Republicans quick to claim that it was a sign of the 78-year-old showing his age.

“Amazing shot,” one person tweeted.

Others applauded Mr Biden’s aide for stepping up and telling the President.

“Wish all people would be this kind,” one person wrote.

“We all need a wingman like that,” another tweeted.

Latest Biden gaffe

It comes just a day after Mr Biden clashed with Fox News journalist Peter Doocy who reminded the President that he once said Americans don’t need to wear a mask if they are fully vaccinated.

The President hit back: “No I didn’t say that. I said if you’re fully vaccinated in an area where you do not have – well, let me clarify that.”

Doocy told Mr Biden: “In May, you made it sound like a vaccine was the ticket to losing the masks forever.”

“That was true at the time,” the Democrat, who was flustered by this point, snapped.

“A new variant came along, they didn’t get vaccinated, it spread more rapidly and more people were getting sick. That’s the difference.”

It also follows Mr Biden being mocked after claiming he “used to drive” an 18-wheeler truck, with critics saying he “lives in a fantasy land”.

The career politician told workers at a Mack truck facility in Pennsylvania on Wednesday: “I used to drive an 18-wheeler, man.”

But when pressed by Fox News on the claims, White House officials could only point to President Biden being the passenger in an 18-wheeler in 1973.

Biden’s confusion

They then suggested his time driving a school bus – which normally has six wheels – during summer breaks may have been the reference point.

It was not his first mistake either as, during the address, he awkwardly confused former presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump.

Mr Biden said: “Back in 2009, during the so-called Great Recession, the President asked me to be in charge of managing that piece.

“Then President Trump – excuse me, Freudian slip, that was the last president. He caused it – anyway,” he said, catching his mistake.

“President Obama, I was vice president. The American auto industry, you remember was on the rise.”

Mr Biden, who is well-known for his slip-ups, has made several gaffes since being inaugurated as President in January.

He said that Covid-19 had killed more Americans than the “war with Iran” last month.

The President mentioned Iran when going through a list of wars the US has been involved in over the past century to make a point about the Covid death toll.

The US has not been at war with Iran.
