President Joe Biden suffered another public gaffe on Thursday, misnaming Alexei Navalny's widow Yulia as 'Yolanda' in a brief meeting with the press in Los Angeles.
The president spoke privately with Yulia and Dasha Navalnaya in a suite at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco following Alexei's death.
'This morning I had the honor of meeting Alexei Navalny's wife and daughter,' he said in a parking garage. 'The one that was made clear to me is that Yolanda's gonna, she's gonna continue to fight.'
Biden, at 81, the oldest president in American history, then shuffled back to his SUV.
The meeting with the Navalny family came hours after Biden publicly called Putin a 'crazy S.O.B.' in the wake of Navalny's death at the age of 47.
