A clip of Joe Biden stumbling over Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin's name and then saying "the Black man" has gone viral.

The video is a snippet from a Breaking Entertainment News (BET) interview with the U.S. president, part of a special called Black America Votes, that aired on Wednesday.

Biden said: "And so, it's all about, it's all about treating people with dignity. It's about making sure that—look. I mean, for example, look at the heat I'm getting because I named uh, the secretary of defense, the Black man, I named Ketanji Brown, I mean, because of the people I've named."

Most of the videos posted on social media stop at the reference to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, but longer clips available online include the mention of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who the president nominated to the Supreme Court in February 2022. Newsweek has contacted Biden's campaign team via email for comment.

The interview comes as Biden's health and cognitive ability have been called into question since his poor performance in the first presidential debate with Donald Trump in Atlanta on June 27.

Since then, he has made multiple other viral gaffes, including last Thursday, when he called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky "Putin," during a speech about the United States supporting Ukraine to fight Russia's invasion.

"And now I want to hand it over to the president of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination, ladies and gentlemen, President Putin," Biden said, before realizing the error.

Zelensky made light of the mistake, telling the president, "I'm better." Biden responded: "You're a hell of a lot better."

Biden Refuses To Step Down​

Biden has repeatedly refused to step down from the presidential race and has insisted he is the best person to beat Trump.

In Wednesday's BET interview, Biden said he would consider stepping down if he had a medical condition that affected him.

Journalist Ed Gordon asked him: "Is there anything that you would look to...to say 'if I see that, I will re-evaluate'?"

Biden answered: "If I had some medical condition that emerged, if doctors came and said 'you've got this problem, that problem'."

It comes as the White House on Wednesday confirmed that Biden has tested positive for COVID, causing him to cancel his appearance at a UnidosUS event in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This has taken Biden off the campaign trail at a critical moment for the President amid weeks of calls from his own party to step down.

Listen Jack, we strolled the street around a couple of bad boys. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t bring the battle box to the porch. These monkeys will shoot to save Democracy.
 
Individually, understandable. Shit, sometimes I forget a name.

But this is an increasing pattern of behavior, further evidence of this poor man's deterioration.

As a nation, we cannot afford to have such a person as President. The stakes are simply too high.

Incidents like this are some of the best campaign ads for President Trump ever. Anyone who votes for poor old Joe is one stupid motherfucker.
 
Jack, these gop silver spoon cats call you jigs niggers when you ain't lookin'. I've heard how they talk at their orgies. Don't be a coon, be a buck, jack!
 
I listened to it and I thought he was trying to make a point about appointing the first black SECDEF, then segue into nominating Ketanji Brown to the Supreme Court. But his speech is so disorganized it all blended together. When he doesn't have a word or name he just charges ahead, with no regard to how how the thoughts connect (or don't connect).

Listen corn pop, we only use plastic bottles at Biden rallies. Ain't no porch monkeys getting at peepaw with a nigger knife!
 
Man, you dog-faced pony soldiers are just a bunch of trillionaires, I mean billionaires in the party and, anyway, my colleague and Vice President Donald Trump, well, I probably shouldn't even say that. Anyway, I'm the only president that never, that never, that never... Look! We finally beat Medicare!

I could understand accidentally calling Vladimir Zelinsky Vladimir Putin. But President of Ukraine President Putin doesn't have a name in common to run on from.

Barack has given him a pass
I still have "Spade" and "N***erlover" on my bingo card.

Zelinsky was standing right next to Biden when he said that. That is beyond retarded.

I'm willing to bet 'colored' or 'negro' is a lot more likely based on past experience with relatives with dementia around his age.

He did say it back in the 80s during a hearing as a young man of 43 if you're super desperate to hear him say it, though he was reading something. Reading Huckleberry Finn aloud in 8th grade energy. It's most striking to hear him speak coherently, more than anything.

I lost the video but i recall that in some press conference or welcome, he was talking about Niger and you could feel he was going with the hard R

You know what? Considering how crazy July has been?

That is the only thing truly worthy of being called an October Surprise.

Dark horse - Ubangi.

My family's from the Scranton area and I heard this one a few times from my grandparents/relatives. It's what you pick up in childhood that really sticks.

What's the prevalence of "jig," "sambo," "spade," and "shine" in the area?

You know those maps that show the soda/pop/coke distribution?

We need one for slurs.

I could actually see him busting out with a creative anti-Asian slur.

"Nip" or "Chinaman" both seem like something I could see coming out of his mouth.
