Biden ridiculed after reading 'pause' instruction on the teleprompter out loud: 'I'm Ron Burgundy?'

Biden’s week of gaffes continued Wednesday with an embarrassing teleprompter reading.

At a trade union conference in Washington, D.C., Biden, reading off a teleprompter, appeared to incorporate script instructions in the middle of his speech, resulting in an awkward applause line.

"Imagine what we could do next. Four more years, pause," he said before laughing as the audience began chanting, "Four more years."

Biden’s "pause" moment quickly led to online reactions ranging from outright mockery to concern.

"I’m Ron Burgundy?" Fox News contributor Guy Benson joked, referencing the main character of the movie "Anchorman's" habit of reading anything exactly how it's written on the teleprompter.

OutKick founder Clay Travis agreed, "Joe Biden read the instruction ‘pause’ on the teleprompter. The guy is Ron Burgandy. He just keeps getting worse."

"The best part about this isn’t that Biden pulled a Ron Burgundy and read ‘pause’ from the teleprompter, it’s that it took him a solid 6-7 seconds of confused silence to even understand what was happening. Outstanding," OutKick writer Ian Miller added.

"This man is not mentally fit to be President," Indiana Republican Rep. Jim Banks said.

"Good grief," actor Matthew Marsden exclaimed.

Fox News contributor Steve Cortes explained, "Biden’s teleprompter blunders would be funny if he weren’t president. Here, he reads the ‘pause’ instruction — such directions are clearly differentiated on his screen, usually with multiple parentheses, telling the speaker ‘don’t say this part’!!!"

RedState columnist Buzz Patterson remarked, "Oh, we’re going to ‘pause’ his ‘four more years.’"

"This is sad.
