At a Tuesday event on violent extremism, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. claimed to have “great relations” with Somali cab drivers in Delaware while discussing relations with east-African immigrants in Minnesota.

“In Minneapolis-St. Paul, we’re working to build relations with the East African immigrants who have made your city their home, as the same folks have made — the Somalis have made, my city of Wilmington, Del., [home] on a smaller scale — it’s a large, very identifiable Somali community,” Biden said. “I might add if you ever come to the train station with me, you'll notice that I have great relations with them because there's an awful lot of them driving cabs, and are friends of mine. For real, I’m not being solicitous, I’m being serious.”

Biden made news earlier in the day Tuesday for putting his hands on the shoulders of Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter’s wife.

CNN followed up on this at the time and found there were only 15 Somalis in the entire state of Delaware and none drove cabs.

When Joe says he “has great relations”, it doesn’t mean what we think it means.

Biden wants to run as the opposite of Bill Clinton, who claimed that he had not had relations with “that woman.”

Is Joe Biden saying he colluded with terrorists?

So? I was born in a hospital. But that doesn’t make me a doctor, Joe

I hope Joe is not groping the Somali cab drivers, too.

I am starting to really hope Joe gets the nomination.

Have made your city their base of operations.

On the flip side: My oldest boy is a RR engineer in Utah. Occasionally, they run out of hours and have to take a cab back to the office.

He said last year most of the cabbies were Muslins but the last few trips he had a Somali driver. They got to talking and the guy said he was SO grateful to America for getting him out of his homeland.

Despite all that, he said that at one point, he thought about taking his kid back home to show him where his dad came from.

The kid rebelled, saying “No way dad. That place is a Sh!thole!” Maybe there’s hope left. At the least, I hope the kid wasn’t unusual - he seems to have assimilated.
