President Joe Biden experienced another noticeable malfunction while introducing a new executive action aimed at providing legal status to half a million undocumented immigrants.
The executive action is a major shift in immigration policy, as the path to legal status could impact individuals living in the U.S. without documentation.
During the announcement, Biden became confused with a series of stutters and prolonged pauses.
“Thanks to all the members of Congress and Homeland Security Secretary…” Biden said before staring blankly.

Biden’s confusion came after White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed videos showing the president looking frail were “deepfakes.”
Watch
Unbelievable!! Karine Jean-Pierre is blaming DEEP FAKES for all of the videos going around exposing how old, feeble, and senile Joe Biden looks anytime he steps out into public.

“It tells you everything that we need to know about how desperate Republicans are here,” Jean-Pierre claimed earlier in the week.
“And instead of talking about the president’s performance in office, and what I mean by that is his legislative wins, what he’s been able to do for the American people across the country, we’re seeing these deepfakes, these manipulated videos. And it is done in bad faith.”
Several videos showed Biden freezing up, including D-Day commemorations in France, the G-7 summit in Italy, and Sunday’s campaign fundraiser.
The videos are evidence of Biden’s declining mental and physical health, yet the White House insists he’s fine.
Last week, First Lady Jill Biden reassured voters that her husband is a “healthy, wise 81-year-old.”
“This isn’t just about stopping an extremist, and this election is most certainly not about age,” Dr. Jill Biden said Thursday.
“Joe and that other guy are essentially the same age. Let’s not be fooled. But what this election is about, it’s about the character of the person leading our country.”
