Former Vice President Joe Biden told New Hampshire supporters that he was "not going nuts" after he momentarily forgot what building he was speaking at on Dartmouth College's campus last week.
“I want to be clear, I’m not going nuts,” Biden said on Friday. “I’m not sure whether it was the medical school or where the hell I spoke. But it was on the campus.”
The former vice president's clarification came before he mistakenly praised Vermont when asked about his impression of Keene, N.H., which is in close proximity to Vermont, on Saturday.
"I love this place. Look, what’s not to like about Vermont in terms of the beauty of it? And what a neat town. This is like a scenic, beautiful town. The mayor's been a good guy. Everybody has been really friendly. I like Keene a lot," Biden said.
The Biden campaign has expressed frustration about the news media's coverage of his gaffes, arguing that the press has been too critical of him.
President Trump has also drawn attention to the former vice president's mistakes, saying it's evidence that he's not fit to be president.
"Joe is not playing with a full deck. He made that comment, I said 'woah,' " Trump said earlier this month after Biden told supporters that “poor kids” are “just as talented as white kids” before correcting himself to say “wealthy kids."
Biden's campaign said that the former vice president "misspoke and immediately corrected himself during a refrain he often uses to make the point that all children deserve a fair shot."
I love it when the Democrats and the fake news start attacking each other.
Having said that, there nothing wrong with Joe Biden - he’s by far the least offensive of the Democrats other than Tulsi Gabbard.
Obviously, I’m not voting for any Democrats, because they are wrong about everything and I love President Trump.
But Joe Biden seems like an OK guy. He’s showing his age but I like old people. The whole touchy feely thing is kind of sad - I think he made some bad judgements in that regard but he’s not a perve and he’s doesn’t have dementia. He is gaffe prone, a bit of a buffoon, and a little too cuddly, but so what.
The main thing is he is a Democrat and therefore wrong about everything. But like I said, that’s true of the whole lot - and he’s far from the worst of the lot.
This is just the beginning - they will anoint someone (maybe Pocahontas?) and destroy the others one by one. It’s a good year to be a Republican.
Almost as good as “I’m not a crook”

They must have taken his marbles away.
Not going vs already gone.
Not his marbles, his strawberries.
Oh, like THAT'S going to instill confidence.
Get the hook
When facts are sarcasm. Nice don’t even have to add the /s little doohickey, or you could just say Joe knows he’s arrived at nuts not to Vermont. Either way SWEET.
I’m starting to feel sorry for Biden.
Not that I think he is an honorable man.
I’m dreading the meat-grinder this oldish man is headed for.
Go home Joe! And enjoy your family for a few years.
If he does become the nominee then just pin a medal on Trump because he is the winner.
Over the rainbow
Biden’s telling the truth. He is not going nuts. He’s been nuts for a long time gone.
No. It’s pass tense and constant
Chuckle... one just can’t make this sh*t up...
Sometimes you feel like a nut sometimes you don’t.
I got a feeling he’s not in Kansas anymore.
