"We're not just here for today, I'm determined that we're going to leave nothing behind. We're going to get it done for you," Joe Biden said in the speech, adding, “I'm making sure you got a place to sleep, food to eat, helping you rebuild your lives in Rolling Stone.”
Unaware of his mistake, Joe Biden said again, "The town of Rolling Stone will be back, and we'll be with you every step of the way."
Towards the end of his speech, Joe Biden realised his mistake and said, “What did I say, I said Rolling Fork. Rolling Stone. I got my mind going here.”
Rolling Fork was hit by a devastating tornado last week which killed at least 25 people, according to the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency.
“The west part of Rolling Fork is a residential area, and just a number of houses over there have been completely destroyed. Highway 61, where most of our businesses are, all of the businesses on 61 have been completely destroyed," Fred Miller, former Rolling Fork mayor said.
