President Joe Biden addressed the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity from the White House on Monday, albeit with a gaffe. The gaffe occurred when Biden mistakenly said “end of quote” after quoting a Supreme Court justice during his speech, instead of pausing to signal the end of the quote.
Biden has faced criticism for his gaffe-filled debate performance last Thursday, and this incident is not the first time he has read “end of quote” from a teleprompter.

Biden declined to answer any inquiries from the media upon exiting the platform. His address regarding the Court’s verdict followed shortly after his lackluster debate showing. Analysts in the political realm suggested that the purpose of the speech was to shift the focus of the news cycle from his debate performance to the Court’s ruling.
Biden’s choice of makeup, which seemed to give him an orange hue, drew ridicule and comparisons to former President Donald Trump’s distinctive appearance from his time in television.
Yea they’re going to have to drop the “orange man” attack after tonight!

Biden looked terrible and pasty at the debate, so he's CAKED in bronzer tonight.
Who's the orange man now?
