The President uttered the phrase as he concluded his speech at the National
Safer Communities Summit held in Connecticut.
President Joe Biden's use of the phrase "God save the Queen", man' to conclude
his speech to gun safety advocates caused bewilderment amongst the audience. According to a "Fox News".
During his speech, President Biden informed the audience of an incoming storm
that would prevent him from shaking hands with all attendees. However, he
pledged to take photographs with each section of the audience, ensuring that
he could still connect with them despite the adverse weather conditions.
President Biden reassured the audience, saying 'I will stand in front of each
section – and when you see the camera, know that I can see you too. It's a
minor inconvenience for you, I promise,' underscoring his commitment to
connect with all attendees despite the inclement weather.
It was at this point that he concluded his speech with the remark about the
Queen, who passed away at Balmoral last September at the age of 96 and was
succeeded by King Charles III.

However, some Twitter users were quick to note that this was not the first
time President Biden had used the phrase to conclude his speeches.
In an email, the White House press office provided clarification on Mr.
Biden's remarks, stating that his use of the phrase was a comment made to
someone in the crowd, as he was unable to complete the full ropeline due to
the inclement weather.
