President Joe Biden took to the podium Friday to sign an executive order to protect access to abortion, delivering remarks condemning the Supreme Court decision that ended that constitutional right.
Still, some pointed to the president’s ability to stick a little too close to the script during his address when he appears to repeat the teleprompter instructions.
“It is noteworthy that the percentage of women who register to vote and cast a ballot is consistently higher than the percentage of the men who do so – end of quote. Repeat the line. Women are not without electoral and, or political – let me be precise – not and, or – or political power,” Biden said alongside Vice President Kamala Harris and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra.

The apparent gaffe brought a number of social media users to the same “Anchorman” joke. You remember the 2004 Will Ferrell movie where the actor plays Ron Burgundy – a satirical television news reporter from the 70s – who will read anything from the teleprompter word-for-word.
Elon Musk does.
