Joe Biden may not be playing with a full deck but his has plenty of race cards, from saying in the 2020 presidential campaign that if you didn’t support him you ain’t black to pledging to put the first black female justice on the U.S. Supreme Court despite hypocritically preventing that racist Republican, President George W.

Ms. GREENBURG: What about...
ROBERTS: Well, what...
Ms. GREENBURG: ...Janice Rogers Brown, someone else?
Sen. BIDEN: Excuse me. I'm not--by the way, I misspoke. I misspoke. Janice Rogers Brown is what I meant to say.
Ms. GREENBURG: Oh, OK
