I don’t think that’s the remark to which the president was referring. I think the president had just got wind of the remark he made about blacks not having diversity, unlike the latinos. I could be wrong, but I think that’s what the president was teeing up.

Barack used cocaine so you can understand his point of reference.

trump is the one who has to bring these gaffes/racist biden comments to the public, since the MSM is actively remaining quiet about the junkie remark. Eventually trump will say more about it and it will all get out to everyone’s ears.

Actually, he wasn’t talking to the reporter when he said that.

He was talking to Hunter, who was just off the set.

Insult it was, but it was also racist which cannot be denied by his friends in the media. But bottom line, Blacks need to make that decision for themselves.

Just because the reporter’s black, Creepy Joe’s comment is directed at every black person?

June 5th, 2020 - Biden: “I’VE BEEN TESTED AND I’M CONSTANTLY TESTED.....Look, all you got to do is watch me, and I can hardly wait to compare my cognitive capability to the cognitive capability of the man I’m running against.”

August 5th, 2020 - Biden: “No, I haven’t taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test?”
(In response to CBS correspondent Errol Barnett, who asked Biden to clarify if he had taken a test to measure his mental acuity.)

Biden will blame his racist outbursts on the ghost of Robert Byrd.

“Just because the reporter’s black, Creepy Joe’s comment is directed at every black person?”

Good point. I’d guess that a greater percentage of reporters have gotten into cocaine than black people. What stuck out for me was not so much the racial or the drug angle, but how Joe got angry about being asked the question and had to grab something to “strike back” against what he was taking to be a tormentor. It shows poor judgment (he got himself in trouble when he could have easily given a calm answer about “my doctors say I’m fine”) and poor orientation to reality (the press are not his enemy, trying to trip him up).

If the Trump campaign is on the ball, they ought to run the audio of Biden saying what he said on EVERY black radio station in the US.

In 1977, Biden said

“Unless we do something about this [school integration], my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point. We have got to make some move on this.”
