Joe Biden has been mocked online after tripping over his words during his opening speech at the annual Easter Egg roll.
The president spoke on the White House South Lawn when he called the "oyster bunnies" up to the stage instead of the "Easter bunnies".
The White House transcript of Biden's message suggested the president said "Easter bunnies."
However, he was heard saying: "By the way, say hello to oyster bunnies! Come on up here bunnies, so they can see you, come on get in there.
