President Joe Biden appeared to confuse a military strike with a labor dispute when speaking to reporters over the weekend, responding to a question about Israeli air strikes in Yemen by stating that he was in support of “collective bargaining.”
Biden was exiting a vehicle when reporters began to shout questions at him, and he answered a few related to Israel and escalating military actions targeting Iranian-backed terror proxies like Hezbollah — but when a reporter followed up with a question about the “strikes in Yemen,” Biden answered as though he believed the issue was a simple labor dispute.
WATCH:
REPORTER: “Any comment on the strikes in Yemen, Mr. President!?”
BIDEN (or whatever’s left of him): “I’ve spoken to both sides. They gotta settle the strike. I’m supporting the collective bargaining effort. I think they’ll settle the strike.”

“Mr. President, will you deploy more U.S. troops to the Middle East?” one reporter shouted, and Biden said, “No.”
First lady Jill Biden also exited the vehicle and quickly walked away, turning her back on the press while her husband walked toward reporters.
“Mr. President, has Netanyahu gone too far?” another reporter asked.
Biden did not appear to answer that question but approached the gathered reporters.
“Any comment on the strikes in Yemen, Mr. President?” a reporter asked.
“I’ve spoken to both sides. They gotta settle the strike. I’m supporting the collective bargaining effort. I think they’ll settle the strike,” Biden replied.

“Just so we’re all clear on what’s happening here — Jill Biden walks off without him, he is then asked about the Israeli IDF missile strikes in Yemen, and his reply is that he supports a union collective bargaining agreement and thinks that the strike will end soon,” conservative pundit Stephen L. Miller explained in an X post.
Back in June, you were called a conspiracy theorist and a cheap fake artist for pointing things like this out.

Miller then drew attention to the fact that Biden’s administration — including Vice President Kamala Harris — had covered for Biden long after it was obvious to everyone that he was struggling cognitively.
“Back in June, you were called a conspiracy theorist and a cheap fake artist for pointing things like this out.”
