during his appearance with Jill during tonight's I Will Vote Concert, hosted by George Lopez and Ana Navarro.

At one point, about 13 minutes into the video Biden posted with the tweet below, Biden -- while LOOKING at George Lopez -- mentions the damage that four more years of Trump will do.

But as can easily happen if you're looking at one person while talking about another -- I've had it happen at times -- Biden slips up and uses the name of the person he's looking at and says "four more years of George, uh, George" -- before correcting to say "Trump" a second or two later.

RWers including those in the Trump campaign are shrieking that this is definitely proof that Biden has dementia. That it means Biden confused Trump with George W. Bush. That Biden doesn't know who's president now.

And they're doing this 8 days after Trump incorrectly AND REPEATEDLY called Matt Gaetz "Rick Gates" during a Florida appearance.

Btw, as soon as I saw the edited clip Trump supporters were posting of that trivial Biden gaffe, I guessed the name George had been used just before that. And then I found out Biden was answering a question from George Lopez.


Biden tweet with video. The gaffe is about 13 minutes in.

Editing to note that there's even a former (one-term) Republican Congresswoman who's a doctor who thinks she can diagnose dementia from this very common slip of the tongue. It's possible she doesn't know Biden was talking to George Lopez when he said "George" instead of "Trump." But any real, qualified doctor shouldn't be so stupid as to claim to diagnose dementia from this.

Here's that nitwit's tweet:
