Biden Gaffe: I'm Looking Forward to Appointing the First African American Woman Senator

Democratic candidate Joe Biden is failing. The gaffe train is moving a mile a minute and only seems to be picking up steam. During a campaign stop in South Carolina on Friday, the former VP told a crowd of supporters that he was looking forward to appointing the first African American woman to the U.S. Senate.

"Well, I'm looking forward to appointing the first African American woman to the United States Senate," Biden said as the crowd erupted in cheers. Biden supporters must be so used to the candidate's gaffes by now that they are no longer fazed by them.

Of course, as president, Biden will not have the ability to appoint senators. And even if Biden did have that ability, he would not be able to appoint the first African American woman to the U.S. Senate since Carol Moseley Braun became a senator in 1993.

Biden has a strange fixation with the Senate and the first African American woman to serve in the legislative chamber.

On the Democratic debate stage back in November, Biden touted former Sen. Braun's endorsement of his presidential campaign. Biden claimed to be endorsed by "the only African American woman who’s ever been elected to the United States Senate." To make matter worse, Sen. Kamala Harris, who is the second African American woman to serve in the Senate, was sharing the debate stage with Biden that evening.

"The other one is here!" Harris interjected awkwardly.

Joe Biden experienced what can only be called a gaffe attack earlier this month during a day of campaigning in South Carolina. In one day the candidate proclaimed he was running for the Senate, told voters they could vote for the other Biden if they so chose, and then confused the states of South Carolina and North Carolina.

"My name's Joe Biden. I'm a Democratic candidate for the United States Senate. Look me over. If you like what you see, help out. If not, vote for the other Biden. Give me a look though, OK?" Biden told his supporters.

The candidate is banking on a strong showing in South Carolina to redeem his campaign after disastrous finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire. The candidate finished a distant second in Nevada, trailing current front-runner Bernie Sanders. Biden is touting his popularity among African Americans in South Carolina, but recent polling suggests the strong support he once enjoyed among African Americans in the state has diminished considerably.

First Joe Biden mistakenly says he's a candidate for the U.S. Senate.

Now he confuses choosing a vice presidential candidate with appointing a Black woman to the U.S. Senate.

It's not just a "gaffe".

He's senile. This should be the number one issue when confronting Joe's supporters.

On the surface these gaffes are hilarious. Having watched my my aging mother deal with the onset of dementia, I see warning signs. Joe really needs to see a doctor. Having dementia or Alzheimers usually does not end well for the patient. Given the gravity of the presidential office, we need someone of sound mind. IMHO, Joe Biden is not fit for office.

These aren’t gaffes. He is senile and I really can’t understand why he is even medically allowed to run for POTUS. He is a candidate for 25th amendment if I have ever seen one.

His wife & kids really need to get him off the stage. They should have his Dr intervene if they can’t do it.

His pandering is no more sickening than the race pandering in general of the Democrats; Buttigieg’s weak attempt at Spanish in a recent debate (saying our country is their country) is disgusting. This is the flag-waving veteran? Oh please.

He was trying to be W in 2000 saying “El sueno americano es para ti.” Nice try.

The media almost had to cover the North Carolina/South Carolina goof since Trump mentioned the state mistakes at his rally yesterday, much to the delight of the crowd.

And around 5 PM tonight he will cease caring about black Americans.

Just like every democrat, everywhere.

"He is a candidate for 25th amendment if I have ever seen one."

He just might name Billary, or maybe even Obama as his vise.. If that's even possible...(?)

Remember when the press ridiculed Dan Quayle for misspelling potato?

And he actually didn't. He rang the bell at a Spelling Bee when a student failed to spell what was written on the card... which was his job as judge. The spelling on the card had "potatoe" as an accepted alternate spelling (older form), and when the kid didn't add the "e", Quayle rang the bell. The mistaken bell was understandable, the kid wasn't removed from the Bee, and yet the MSM made a lifetime propaganda point against a sitting Vice President.
