Former Vice President Joe Biden's speech gaffes are becoming social media phenomena, and Monday's botching of the Declaration of Independence drew laughs and sighs, if not cries, on Twitter.
The video of him failing to recite the famous line written by the U.S. founding fathers was roundly shared on Twitter, including by President Donald Trump's son.
Donald Trump Jr. tweeted: "It never ends."
The tweet added a link to Biden attempting to recite the famous line to his campaign rally Monday:
"We hold these truths to be self evident, all men and women create by, go, you know, you know the thing."
The line Biden was trying to spit out is:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
President Trump pulled no punches in attacking Biden's recent mistakes in his own campaign rally in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Monday night.
"And today he said 'Super Thursday,'" Trump told his rally. "He's looking forward to Super Thursday.
"He said Super Thursday, ugh, you can't do these things. Could you imagine if I said Super Thursday? It would be over.
"He makes a lot of those mistakes," Trump continued. "It's a little scary."
An NBC News reporter tweeted a fact all of the top remaining presidential candidates are 70 years old and older:
"Every major 2020 presidential candidate is now a septuagenarian.
Sanders — 78
Bloomberg — 78
Biden — 77
Trump — 73
Warren — 70"
