It is hard to tell which is more pathetic, President Joe Biden’s lurch left in a desperate but failed attempt to keep the Democratic Party’s most avid activists from kicking him off the ticket or his descent into complete incoherence.

Speaking to the NAACP National Convention in Las Vegas on July 16, Biden said he would combat high housing costs by capping the amount by which corporate landlords could raise rent to $55 a month. It is hard to tell from the video if Biden failed to see the teleprompter or just failed to comprehend what was on it, but the actual policy released by the White House later that day was for a 5% cap on monthly rent hikes by corporate landlords, not $55.
