Biden Mixes 'Salvation Army' Up With 'Secret Service' on Trip to El Paso
15:19 GMT 10.01.2023 (Updated: 11:05 GMT 07.04.2025) Joe Biden was surrounded by Salvation Army logos as he was introduced to a uniformed member of the international protestant charity group at a center for migrants it runs in El Paso, Texas. The president even seemed to imply that he had been an agent in Washington's elite VIP protection unit.
US President Joe Biden has flummoxed a Christian charity worker by confusing him with a
Secret Service agent.
A video of Biden's latest gaffe emerged on Monday, ahead of his meeting with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — dubbed "the three amigos."
While on a trip to the Texas border city of El Paso he was introduced to a member of the
Salvation Army at a migrant support centre run by the 157-year-old international organisation — which has some 1.7 million members.
"I spent some time with the Secret Service in Poland and Ukraine," Biden mumbled as he shook hands with the man dressed in the group's distinctive uniform.
The baffled soldier of the lord could only nod and gape in amazement at the president's confusion.
