During a reception Wednesday to celebrate Women’s
History Month, President Biden made a strange gaffe the White House was
forced to clean up.
On the topic of gun safety laws, Biden said
his administration has “stood up against the scourge of anti-Asian hate
that has festered in this country for too long and the violence that
disproportionately impacts on Asian American women.
“You know,” he continued, “but this builds on other steps you’ve
taken and we’ve taken, like the most significant gun safety law in 30
years to help keep guns out of the hands of — (applause) — to help keep
guns out of the hands of domestic political advisors.”

The official White House transcript scratched this out and issued a correction in brackets: “[convicted domestic abusers].”
And
we’ve stood up against the scourge of anti-Asian hate that has festered
in this country for too long and the violence that disproportionately
impacts on Asian American women.
You know — (applause) — but
this builds on other steps you’ve taken and we’ve taken, like the most
significant gun safety law in 30 years to help keep guns out of the
hands of — (applause) — to help keep guns out of the hands
of domestic political advisors [convicted domestic abusers].
But we still have to ban assault weapons again. (Applause.)
Like
signing a law that empowers survivors in the workplace to take their
case to court and hold offenders accountable; creating reforms that
fundamentally shift how the military investigates and prosecutes sexual
assault and domestic violence in the military, including independent
prosecutors who now report outside the military officer — (applause) —
command structure.
That wouldn’t have happened without you guys. Been talking about that a long time. It wouldn’t have happened.
But for all the progress we’ve made, we have a lot more work to do. (White House)

Man is the hardest working person on Biden's Comms team -- with the
possible exception of the pour soul tasked with running the
teleprompter.

That wasn't the only strange comment he made during the event.
Biden:
"Jill puts messages on my mirror while I'm shaving. One that was put in
about a year ago was 'stop trying to make me love you.'" pic.twitter.com/DMWJqoNYy6
