Joe Biden on Thursday night attempted to clarify remarks he made earlier in the day in which he suggested that the Black community in the U.S. lacks diversity when compared with Hispanics.

"Earlier today, I made some comments about diversity in the African American and Latino communities that I want to clarify. In no way did I mean to suggest the African American community is a monolith — not by identity, not on issues, not at all," Biden said in a thread of tweets.

“Tries to clarify”. Which means even NBC has to concede that he’s not succeeding.

“In no way did I mean to suggest the African American community is a monolith — not by identity, not on issues, not at all,”

This clarifies nothing. It doesn’t explain what he was trying to say in the first place.

Biden tries to clarify remarks suggesting lack of diversity in the Black community

Was listening to Rush and at top of the hour news break they actually reported on Biden’s gaffe, but was followed immediately with the obligatory “Trump pounced...” narrative.
Whenever the fake news is forced to report on anything negative toward demonrats, they ALWAYS couch it in a “Republicans Pounce...” narrative.

his handlers typed the tweets to ‘correct’ his misconceptions of the minority communities. this way he doesn’t have to fake a ‘black’ accent and he did not know how to fake a ‘Mexican’ accent, cause, you know, they all look the same to him.

“What you all know that most people don’t know, unlike the African American community...”

Sunk by 2 letters. “un”.

If he’d said “Like” the African American community he’d be golden. No wonder they dont want him in public. Lol

Biden: I did not mean to say they all look alike and you can’t tell one from another.
