Women’s March co-chairwoman Linda Sarsour expressed concern for Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden after he garnered attention for yet another gaffe during a campaign event over the weekend.
On Saturday, Biden appeared to confuse two U.S. states when he was asked during a press gaggle how he was enjoying his time campaigning in New Hampshire. In response, the former vice president said, “What’s not to like about Vermont?”
“This is actually not funny,” Sarsour reacted on Sunday. “It’s very sad. These can’t just be all gaffes. People need to be worrying about VP Biden’s overall health.”

Sarsour’s comment echoes Fox News analyst Brit Hume’s take on the matter. Hume on Saturday tweeted that Biden’s recent string of mishaps “suggest the kind of memory loss associated with senility.”
Biden has made headlines for a number of verbal mistakes in recent weeks.
This month alone, he confused the locations of the El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, mass shootings, told supporters that “poor kids” are just as smart as “white kids,” claimed he was still vice president during the 2018 school shooting in Parkland, Florida, and mixed up Burlington, Vermont, and Burlington, Iowa.
Additionally, he said the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. happened in the late 1970s when both men actually died in 1968. Biden has also referred to Margaret Thatcher, who died in 2013, as the current British prime minister on two occasions, and incorrectly insisted that 40 people were shot during a Vietnam War protest at Kent State in 1970.
The 76-year-old, however, still leads the pack of Democrats currently running for president and dismissed concerns from voters over his age, telling them not to bother voting for him if they’re worried.
