President Joe Biden appeared to read his teleprompter instructions out loud during a rare address from the Oval Office this week, RadarOnline.com can report.

“We'll have something that we do not seek – make it clear we do not seek – we do not seek to have American troops fighting in Russia."

“We'll have something that we do not seek – make it clear we do not seek – we do not seek to have American troops fighting in Russia,” Biden said.

According to Daily Mail, the “make it clear” portion of the president’s sentence was a teleprompter instruction and not, in fact, something he was supposed to read as part of his address to the American people.

“American leadership is what holds the world together. American alliances are what keep us in America safe. American values are what make us a partner nation you want to work with,” Biden said.

President Biden also targeted Hamas and Vladimir Putin directly during his address.

“Hamas and Putin represent different threats, but they share this in common: They both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy, completely annihilate it,” Biden charged.

“We can’t let petty partisan, angry politics get in the way of our responsibilities as a great nation,” he charged further. “We cannot and will not let terrorists like Hamas and tyrants like Putin win. I refuse to let that happen.”

Fellow Fox News star Sean Hannity panned the address and called it “clichéd, disjointed, and back and forth.”
