Biden bombs again by misidentifying civil-rights leader as ‘Karen Nagasaki’

President Biden added to his list of gaffes Monday by misidentifying Karen Narasaki, a former member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, as “Karen Nagasaki.”

Ms. Narasaki was on hand for the president’s flub, which came at a White House signing ceremony for a bill to study the creation of a National Museum of Asian American and Pacific Islander History and Culture.

“And all of it’s an embodiment of so many of you here today, leaders in civil rights like Karen Nagasaki and Karen Korematsu,” said Mr. Biden, as shown in a video posted on YouTube.
