President Joe Biden was mocked online Monday after he tripped over his words and referred to 'oyster bunnies' instead of the 'Easter bunnies.'

The president made his verbal gaffe during his opening remarks at the annual Easter Egg roll hosted on the White House South Lawn.

'By the way, say hello to oyster bunnies! Come on up here bunnies, so they can see you, c'mon get in there,' he said to the two large costumed Easter bunnies dressed for the occasion.
