   Conservatives on Twitter berated President Joe Biden for making   
   multiple gaffes in quick succession during a speech on the state of the   
   economy Tuesday.    
      
   During the address, Biden blamed the "war in Iraq" for America’s   
   current inflationary woes before correcting himself to say war in   
   Ukraine, thus blaming inflation on Putin, then said that his mistake   
   was because his son Beau died in Iraq.    
      
   Biden stated, "Inflation is a worldwide problem right now because of a   
   war in Iraq and the impact on oil and what Russia’s doing. I mean,   
   excuse me, the war in Ukraine. I'm thinking of Iraq because that's   
   where my son died. Because he died."   
      
   A few minutes later in the address, Biden mentioned his son again, this   
   time saying he died of cancer. Biden’s son died of brain cancer at   
   Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, six years after   
   returning from Iraq.   
      
   Cut!   
      
   The Daily Wire reporter Ryan Saavedra fact-checked the collection of   
   gaffes, writing, "Inflation was already skyrocketing long before the   
   war in Ukraine and Biden's son did not die in Iraq and did not die from   
   anything war-related."   
      
   "It becomes increasingly difficult to separate the gaslighting from the   
   dementia," Substack writer Jim Treacher said.
