White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre slipped up during a Thursday press briefing, accidentally referring to President Biden as "President Obama."

Jean-Pierre's slip of the tongue came as she was making announcements at the top of the briefing, causing a wave of laughter and surprise among the press corps.

"So today, as you all saw just an hour or so ago, President Obama announced that—Pardon me, President Biden!" Jean-Pierre said as reporters shouted surprise. "Whoa! Ahem, that is news. I know, we're going back not forwards. We've gotta go forwards."

She then went on to announce "President Biden's" nominee to lead the World Bank.

I know, we're going back not forwards. We've gotta go forwards.

It's heartwarming that the freakin' press secretary cannot use the English language correction. It's "forward," dear. Also, yes, we know that Biden is not the actual president.
