US President Joe Biden recently visited Rolling Fork, a town in Mississippi that was hit by an EF4 tornado last Saturday. During his visit, Biden mistakenly referred to the town as “Rolling Stone” instead of Rolling Fork. In a video shared by RNC Research, the President can be heard repeatedly making the error. Rolling Stone is a popular culture magazine, while Rolling Fork is a town in Mississippi.
Despite the mistake, Biden continued with his speech and promised to help the community rebuild their lives. He assured them that they would have a place to sleep and food to eat, and that he was determined to leave nothing behind. As he neared the end of his speech, Biden seemed to realize his mistake and stumbled over his words.
The tornado that hit Rolling Fork and the surrounding areas was devastating, causing at least 25 deaths according to the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency. Radar analysis showed that the tornado had the ability to lift debris over 20,000 feet in the air and was on the ground for 80 miles.
Biden’s visit to Rolling Fork highlights the importance of supporting communities affected by natural disasters. Despite his mistake, the President’s promises to help the town rebuild and recover are a testament to the resilience of the people of Rolling Fork and Mississippi as a whole.
