Former President Joe Biden told mourners at Rev. Jesse Jackson’s memorial service Friday that he is “a hell of a lot smarter than most of you,” a pointed remark that stood out during his tribute to the late civil rights leader.
Biden made the comment while recounting how he was mocked as a child for his stutter and how speech impediments are often mistaken for a lack of intelligence.
“If I told you I had a cleft palate or clubfoot, none of you would have laughed,” Biden said.
“But it’s OK to laugh at stuttering. … It’s the one place where people think you’re stupid.
“Oh, really? I’m a h— of a lot smarter than most of you,” he added, before quickly pivoting back to his broader point.
“But all kidding aside, it makes you feel really small.”
Biden made the remark during a memorial service in Chicago that brought together prominent Democratic leaders and civil rights figures to honor Jackson’s decades-long political influence.
Former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton attended the service along with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Vice President Kamala Harris and Rev. Al Sharpton.
The event was held at the 10,000-seat House of Hope arena, where hundreds gathered to celebrate Jackson’s life and legacy.

Thank you Joe, you just drove more black people away from the Democrap party.
“a hell of a lot smarter than most of you,”
If one is smart they don’t have to tell others that they’re smart. And picking EXTREMELY low IQ Harris proves it.
Sadly, he’ right.....and not afraid to say it!! The Dems really hate the blacks except for their votes.
The crowd should have invited him out for free ice cream.
...and yes, I know Jesse is dead...

Maybe, but he can now beat Jesse in a pushup contest.
“Biden says ‘I’m a hell of a lot smarter than most of you’ to crowd at Jesse Jackson’s funeral”. But can you ride a bicycle without tipping over Joe?
Well, considering the crowd Slow Joe might actually have been right for once.
I’ll take ‘things smart people never say’ for $500, Alex.
Okay. We'll call it a draw.
LOL! Pretty much the same thing Prickster, Clinton and Ubama said.
Well that would REALLY secure the dead voters for the Dems!

“Biden says ‘I’m a hell of a lot smarter than most of you’ (to crowd at Jesse Jackson’s funeral)”
At least a two-fer.
1. If you feel compelled to tell people how smart you are then that’s a tell-tale sign you are not very smart.
2. When speaking at funerals consider your audience when you craft your remarks and focus on the deceased not yourself.
I had a bowel moment this morning that had a higher IQ than Biden.

If the Earth opened up and swallowed these people, we could fill the hole back up and build a bar on the spot.
Everyone there deserved it and more.
He has that “gift” that only a career shyster politician can give. It will be refreshing when he’s off the dole.
Is there a museum planned?
Wow. That doesn't say much about the intelligence of Jessy's family and friends.
