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.
What is wrong with Joe Biden?pic.twitter.com/I232NgUiDv — Matt Wolking (Text TRUMP to 88022) (@MattWolking) February 28, 2020
Jill Biden, Joe’s wife, is a doctor, IIRC.
Itis beyond time for her to put together an intervention on Joe.
She is going to be branded as stupid as him if this keeps up.
Thanks for the refresher..
Maybe he’s thinking of supreme court justice.
That what he said during the debate earlier in the week. He botched it a few days later..
Her father is Jamaican and her mother is Indian.
How does that make her "African-American?"
-PJ
Dr. Jill Biden is not a doctor doctor, she has a PhD in education, so the best that she can do for him is to teach him how to read.
So far she’s failed miserably.
As in “you can keep your own doctor”?
Bless his heart. :-)
A vote for Biden is a vote for his VP.
“”Biden supporters must be so used to the candidate’s gaffes by now that they are no longer fazed by them.””
Is the writer nuts? Biden’s supporters are just as nuts as he is. Nothing will faze them until they’re rounded up and then come to realize what a mess this country is in!
Is he going to order lots of Ritalin to dope up the students also?
Speaking of nuts:
Is anyone here familiar with Lewis Grizzard’s works? A writer from GA. Hilarious stuff. Locate “I Haven’t Understood Anything Since 1962” in the library for some fun - diversionary reading. He’s as good or better than Jeff Foxworthy.
This morning I ran across this while eating breakfast. A boy in his grade school was hit in the head by a fierce blow from a massive world geography book by the teacher because he wouldn’t stop beating up another boy in the class - who was a world class bleeder which made it all the more fun to beat him up. The boy’s sight was seriously impaired from the blow which made it easier to run and hide from him. Of course, it’s all make believe - I THINK!
As FR sodpoodle says, we all need to laugh - OFTEN!
“”How does that make her “African-American?”””
About as much as obozo!!! Boy - we get snookered often, don’t we? OR let’s say - they try OFTEN but fail!!
He didn’t misspell it. The spelling was given to him on a 3x5 card by the class teacher.
I wish she had sense enough to lock him in the basement or in a closet but she doesn’t!
I doubt many of his rank and file supporters even know he has mental decline issues. The people that are funding his campaign know. That is why his funding has dried up. There is a real danger he could say something catastrophic that would put end to his campaign. He has already provided enough gaffe material for devastating advertisements as the election continues.
It is just pathetic; check out the clip of Buttigieg mimicking Obama (same words, gestures):
