WATCH: Joe Biden concludes gun control speech with ‘God Save the Queen, man’
In yet another apparent gaffe, US President Joe Biden closed a speech on gun violence with the phrase ‘God Save the Queen.’
The 80-year-old president was addressing an audience at the National Safer Communities Summit in Connecticut on Friday where he made a reference to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Before ending his speech on gun control, Biden said that a storm was heading into the area due to which he would be unable to shake hands with the attendees.
“I will stand in front of each section – no, I really mean it — if you can see the camera, they can see you. It is the least consequential part of this whole meeting for you, I promise,” he said.
“All right. God Save the Queen, man,” he concluded before walking off the stage.

When asked what the president meant by saying that, the White House assigned pool reporter the Dallas Morning News’ correspondent Tod Gillman told Fox News, “Those watching online heard the final utterance of president Biden at the gun summit – God save the Queen, man – several of you have asked me why he might have said that. I have no idea.”
He added, “Other poolers likewise have no idea.”
Twitter mocks Biden
Biden’s comment was quick enough to take Twitter up by storm.
