Newsmax Host Makes Geography Goof-Up For The Ages: 'Very Embarrassing Stuff'
HuffPost
Rob Finnerty tried to list a number of President Joe Biden's gaffes before making a blunder of his own.
Newsmax host Rob Finnerty’s attempt to list off President Joe Biden’s “very embarrassing” blunders didn’t go without an on-air error about the continent of Africa on Thursday.
Finnerty spoke with Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) as he referred to former special counsel Robert Hur’s report on the president’s handling of classified documents, a report that took aim at Biden’s age and mental fitness in February.
Republicans have since threatened to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to release audio of Hur’s interviews with Biden.
“Robert Hur in his report said that he didn’t recommend charges for Biden because a jury wouldn’t rule against Joe Biden because he’s a quote ‘well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory’ and he gave us examples,” said Finnerty before making an obvious continental goof.
“He said that Biden didn’t know that Africa was a country. He couldn’t remember the year that his son died. He didn’t know the last names of staff members. He forgot when he was vice president. All very embarrassing stuff.”
