While discussing his efforts to lower prescription drug prices, Biden mentioned several foreign cities where medications are more affordable, including Moscow. This slip-up prompted laughter from the audience, and even Biden himself acknowledged that he would probably get in trouble for the comment.
He didn’t slip up.

Republicans wasted no time in using the blunder to criticize the president. They seized the opportunity to mock Biden, with the Trump team’s spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, insinuating that Moscow was on Biden’s mind due to some questionable financial dealings involving Hunter Biden.
The House Judiciary GOP also jumped in, poking fun at Biden’s mention of flying to Moscow for prescription drugs. It’s clear that conservative critics were eager to pounce on this slip-up and use it to paint the president in a negative light.
Overall, the incident provided conservatives with ammunition to further their narrative of Biden as a gaffe-prone and incompetent leader. It’s no surprise that they were quick to highlight this blunder and capitalize on it for political fodder.
