Does former Vice President Joe Biden know what year we’re in right now? Does he remember what he’s eaten for breakfast? I only ask because he’s capped off this week with two gaffes, both equally terrible. Leah wrote about his remarks about poor kids, where he said, “We should challenge students in these schools and have advanced placement programs in these schools. We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright, just as talented, as white kids." And now, he swears he was vice president when the tragic Parkland shooting happened…in 2018. Joe, you weren’t there. Biden made this latest gaffe in Iowa, where he discussing gun violence in the wake of the two horrible mass shootings in EL Paso And Dayton last weekend, both incidents that wouldn’t have been prevented with stronger background check laws (via Bloomberg):
NEW: Joe Biden said he was vice president when the deadly high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, took place. Except, it happened in 2018, two years after he left office -- the latest gaffe by the Democratic presidential front-runner.https://t.co/QiWHMCI8uo— Emma Kinery (@EmmaKinery) August 10, 2019

Joe Biden said he was vice president when the deadly high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, took place. Except, it happened in 2018, more than a year after he left office -- the latest gaffe by the Democratic presidential front-runner.
Biden told reporters in Iowa on Saturday that “those kids in Parkland came up to see me when I was vice president.” But when they visited Capitol Hill to talk with members of Congress, lawmakers were “basically cowering, not wanting to see them. They did not want to face it on camera.”
The former vice president was making a point about the changing conversation around gun violence in this country, and how as more and more ordinary people are touched by mass shootings, they are more likely to call for action.
Yeah, there’s a reason why Joe Biden was never a frontrunner when he ran for president in years past. Now that he is, well, he’s facing attacks on all sides. The second night of CNN’s debate with the 2020 Democratic field saw the former VP besieged and subjected to an unprecedented amount of Obama bashing, which shows how lost this party is right now. These clowns think they can outmaneuver one another on the debate stage and the delegate count…by bashing one of the most popular Democrats in recent memory. President Trump was surely watching, saying that the former VP "doesn't have a clue.
Either way, we should expect more of these Biden gaffes to occur. The man has a serious case of diarrhea of the mouth—and that hasn’t changed.
Joe Biden just said, “We believe in facts, not truth.” Does anybody really believe he is mentally fit to be president? We are “playing” in a very big and complicated world. Joe doesn’t have a clue!
He was there, I remember. He was also there telling FDR “hey, try some lend-leaee, it’s a good way to get around the neutrality stuff.” I’m tellin ya, Biden is the best VP ever.
Poor kids are just as talented as white kids?????
Biden or Hogg?
Can't be Hogg, he's not a man.
Brian Williams is still the acknowledged leader in this regard. But Biden has momentum, and he’s gaining fast.
I think he means: “My Vice Presidential Aura was so strong that it was still present at that time. And thus my powerful presence dominated all aspects of the event.”
Why not? He’s been hearing all about that Hogg kid (the one who wasn’t even there that day) being a ‘survivor of the Parkland shooting,’ so no wonder he’s confused.
“Poor kids are just as bright as white kids”?! Hahahahasnort!!! Biden is actually a racist. I mean I would classify that as racist. Think of the absolute slaying any pub would’ve dealt with after saying this.
I hope someone has “ALL” of Bidens gaffes . What a movie to fun before elections.
Sheeeeyit. You’re typical demonicRAT voter doesn’t know that and doesn’t listen to any news outlets that will inform them of that.
I remember when he charged up San Juan Hill.
Then he sure should NOT be running for president.
I won an Oscar that year too!
If Trump said something like that there would be a thousand shrinks on tv saying he was mentally unfit for office.
“Biden or Hogg?”
Neither of these FOOLS is a man and neither ever will be!
Probably doesn’t help that he retains the title, and is often referred to as “Mr. Vice President.”
+1.
Run Byedone run!
But it seems the gaffes and mental slip ups are more frequent and more serious now. I wonder if his mental health is seriously deteriorating?
