A short clip of President Joe Biden's Tuesday speech has gained millions of online interactions, drawing ridicule and comparisons with Will Ferrell's Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy character from conservative media outlets and social media users.
A number of commentators shared a seven-second video of Biden's speech on the economy, which appears to show him saying "end of quote." The phrase was mocked by social media users and a number of media outlets, with one headline reading, "New fears for Biden's mental acuity after he says 'end of quote' while reading his economics speech from a teleprompter."

FALSE!!!
The phrase "end of quote" was not a teleprompter instruction accidentally read by Biden. It was part of the speech, used to bookend the Walmart CEO's remark, which Biden began citing seconds earlier with the phrase "to quote the Walmart CEO."
