Biden in Mexico: 'I almost feel obliged to apologize' for GOP rhetoric

(CNN)Speaking in Mexico City, Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday came close to offering an apology for comments made by Republicans about Mexico and Mexican immigrants on the campaign trail.

"I almost feel obliged to apologize for some of what my political colleagues said," Biden said alongside Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto. "It's a heated campaign season and I just want you to know, Mr. President, that the most heated rhetoric you've heard from competitors for the nomination for president is not who we are as the American people. It is not the view that is the view of the majority of the American people. It's the exact opposite. It's the opposite view."

Earlier on Thursday, Biden, who was in Mexico for economic talks, called the rhetoric "disturbing."

Biden has been outspoken in his distaste for harsh rhetoric about undocumented immigrants during the 2016 presidential campaign, including blasting Donald Trump by name for his language about Mexican undocumented immigrants. Trump has suggested that some Mexicans crossing the U.S. southern border are rapists and drug dealers.

“It’s a heated campaign season and I just want you to know, Mr. President, that the most heated rhetoric you’ve heard from competitors for the nomination for president is not who we are as the American people.”

Yes it is.

Why should he feel obligated to apologize for what other people do or say? It’s a meaningless apology and typically liberal.

Why is the US letting a cartel run drugs into our country? Sinola cartel apparently owns our politicians as well.

As Trump said in response to the criticism of ex-president of Mexico for Trump's promise to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it, and I paraphrase, albeit closely: Now we'll build it higher and Mexico will love it and will still pay for it.

Once again our government cares more about non-citizens than citizens.

Why the hell would this moron feel the need to apologize?

Mexico and every other country that is sending people here to get free welfare is probably LAUGHING at us for how much they take advantage of the USA, and is probably surprised they have gotten away with it for so long. And also surprised someone is finally speaking up about it.

If anything they are probably nervous that Trump means it.
