Joe Biden is confused AGAIN as he messes up history as to which part of Oregon voted to secede in front of wealthy donors who just gave $1 million
- Biden made a verbal blunder at a failed fundraiser
- He messed up a story about Oregon in front of 65 wealthy donors
- They had just given the Democratic Party $1 million
President Joe Biden found himself confused and confused again Tuesday night when he spoke to a group of wealthy Democrat donors and muddled a story about Oregon.
Biden, 80, noted that he was watching TV on Air Force One on his flight to Las Vegas when he saw a report of part of Oregon’s secession to Idaho.
But he confused the part of the state where it takes place.
“I came here on Air Force One. I’m watching, and you made western Oregon decide that they would secede and become part of Idaho,” he said.
‘What the hell is going on?’
“Idaho is a beautiful state, but no, I’m serious. They really moved hard. They have passed relevant resolutions in the state,” he said while his audience laughed.

The news report ran on CNN as Biden traveled from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, the final stop on his three-day West Coast tour.
But it is actually eastern Oregon that voted for secession.
Biden’s blunder happened at a posh private residence in one of Las Vegas’ most private and affluent neighborhoods.
The President addressed about 65 attendees at a fundraiser that raised over $1 million for the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Grassroots Victory Fund.
The fundraiser was closed to cameras, but print reporters were allowed to take notes.
It’s not the first time Biden, who struggled with a stutter as a child, has made a verbal slip. He has often referred to his Vice President, Kamala Harris, as President. At an event in September, he called out for Rep. Jackie Walorski, who died in a car accident the previous month.
Some Democrats have privately expressed concerns about Biden’s health. He would live to be 82 if he ran and won a second term in the White House.
Last month he had his annual physical, at which his doctor declared him healthy and fit for the presidency.
Biden was referring Tuesday to a move by the Idaho House of Representatives to pass a nonbinding resolution calling for formal talks between Idaho and Oregon lawmakers to discuss moving some rural counties from Oregon to Idaho.

The bill is also before the Oregon state legislature.
The proposal comes from the Greater Idaho movement, which is seeking to incorporate about 13 counties, or 63% of Oregon’s landmass, within Idaho’s borders.
Of the thirteen counties in the proposal, 11 have so far voted to move discussions about the prospect forward, and supporters are optimistic it will continue to gain momentum.
Proponents of the proposal believe that eastern Oregon has more political and cultural ties to Idaho than Oregon’s larger progressive cities in the western part of the state.
“The people of eastern Oregon feel that their state-level government hasn’t heard them, hasn’t heeded our concerns, and hasn’t worked for eastern Oregon,” Greater Idaho Movement spokesman Matt McCaw told Fox last month News.
Such a move would require the Idaho Legislature, the Oregon Legislature, and Congress to all sign it.
It would also likely require several amendments to the Idaho Constitution and Oregon Constitution.
