Tuesday 1 November 2022 09:31 PM Biden AGAIN says his son Beau died in Iraq trends now

President Joe Biden again said that his son Beau Biden died in Iraq, while catching himself calling the war in Ukraine the Iraq war, while delivering remarks in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Tuesday. 

'Inflation is a worldwide problem right now,' the president said. 'There's a war in Iraq and the impact on oil and what Russia's doing. Excuse me, the war in Ukraine.' 

'I'm thinking Iraq, because that's where my son died - because he died,' Biden then explained.   

Beau Biden, who served as Delaware's attorney general and in the Delaware Army National Guard in the Iraq War, died at age 46 in 2015 from brain cancer at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. 

The president has long linked his service, and the military's use of burn pits, to Beau's brain cancer diagnosis. 

'In my view, I can't prove it yet, he came back with stage 4 glioblastoma. Eighteen months he lived, knowing he was going to die,' Biden said in 2019. 

Biden previously said that Beau died in Iraq while speaking at Camp Hale in Colorado last month. 

'Just imagine - I mean it sincerely - I say this as a father of a man who won the Bronze Star, the Conspicuous Service Medal, and lost his life in Iraq. Imagine the courage, the daring, and the genuine sacrifice - genuine sacrifice they all made,' Biden said then. 

Biden was in Florida to take on the Republicans with just one week to go before the midterm elections. 

In his speech at a senior center, Biden blasted the GOP for wanting to cut social programs – it's a topic of interest in a state with a large population of retirees.

'I've come to Florida today to talk about two very, very, very important programs,' he said. 'it's gonna affect as many Americans as anything else.'

He described Social Security and Medicare as 'under siege by our Republican friends.'

Biden finished his speech by saying he hoped that God 'gives some of our Republican friends some enlightenment.'

He argued people should have 'peace of mind' when they retire. And he noted how Medicare can now negotiate prescription drug prices.

'Here in Florida, 21% of the people are over the age of 65. It's the second highest of any state in the country,' he noted.

He also pointed out under his administration that for, the 'first time can you see again an increase in their Social Security and Medicare' – an announcement met with great applause.

'So checks are going to be up. Medicare premiums are going to be down and look it's a big deal for seniors,' he said.

'Let me say something. I want to point something out. They talk about big spending Democrats. Yeah, I spent a lot of money to do these things, but guess why,' he said. 'We cut the deficit in half,' he said, lowering his voice to a whisper to make his point. 

The president appeared visibly frustrated with the argument Republicans are making against his stewardship of the economy. Voters have said the economy and inflation are their top concerns - and they give Biden low marks on his handling of both issues. 

'Give me a break. I'm so sick and I shouldn't get,' Biden let his voice trail off as he paced on stage. But the crowd cheered and encouraged him on.

'As my granddaughter's used to say, Google, I'm serious,' the president told the crowd. 

Biden has been hitting Republicans repeatedly for wanting to change the two large government social programs.

The president repeatedly has made Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott's policy proposals a boogeyman in the election, calling out the senator by name in his criticism of the GOP.

He did so again in Florida on Tuesday. He held up a pamphlet and read aloud Scott's plan that would put Medicare, Social Security and other government programs up for a vote every five years.

'A senator from Florida going after Social Security and Medicaid?,' he said. 'You might even you might not even believe it. Again,
