On Wednesday, members of Congress came together for the unveiling of the Frederick Douglass statue at the United States Capitol Visitor Center's Emancipation Hall. During the ceremony, Vice President Biden gave a brief statement, during which he seemed confused on the date and incorrectly referred to Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House.
JOE BIDEN: Today we celebrate, the anniversary as Speaker Pelosi pointed out. The victory over slavery and is um, June 13th . It’s um finally the message got to Texas and um I didn’t mean that the way it sounded. (Crowd Laughter)
