Joe Biden says "The Breakfast Club" host Charlamagne tha God was "baiting" him leading up to his controversial "you ain't black" remark during their interview last week.
The presumptive Democratic nominee was pressed Friday by CNN anchor Don Lemon on what kind of "leader" he would be as president for black Americans in the wake of his May 22 comment and, this week, his sentimental response to the tragic death of Minneapolis man George Floyd.
"The leader I've always been," Biden told Lemon. "I apologized immediately for responding to Charlamagne, who was baiting me, and if you looked at that film, you can see that I was smiling at him. I was referring to him, I wasn't referring to all African-Americans, but I should have never said it."

That’ll work fer sure.
I saw it, Biden’s full of crap.
Of course, the only thing Joe knows to do when he’s caught in a gaffe is make up a lie about it.
Definitely NOT presidential material.
Yea , he was a real master baiter , just like you, Joe
“Black guy’s fault”.
Most radio hosts end their interviews with the throwaway line that their time is up, they wish the guest could come back for more questions, I'm sure there will be more things we can talk about, yada yada yada.
Biden took it the wrong way and went off on the guy.

Really? What did he say? I’ll have to look it up.

“Thank you so much. That’s really our time. I apologize,” the aide said.“You can’t do that to black media!” Charlamagne, real name Lenard Larry McKelvey, said.
“I do that to white media and black media because my wife has to go on at 6 o’clock,” Biden, 77, snapped back, apparently referring to a planned media appearance by Jill Biden.
“Listen, you’ve got to come see us when you come to New York, VP Biden,” Charlamagne, 41, said. “It’s a long way until November. We’ve got more questions.”
“You’ve got more questions?” Biden responded. “Well, I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”

Biden got trapped by Charlemagne tha God.
Elizabeth Warren was eviscerated by Charlemagne tha God.
And still they treat this guy like a lightweight. They call him an uppity smart alec.
Maybe this guy is smart enough to run circles around the Democrat thought leaders, and they’re just too damp racist to give him his due, and take him seriously.
Violating the Law of Holes — Biden now pushes black interview host under the bus...
Yeah. With these people it’s always somebody else’s fault.
A man who can be baited by a radio show host should not control nuclear armed forces... just sayin.
I had to laugh at this. IF this rattled old man can be “baited” and manipulated by Charlemagne, THA whatever, then how easy he would be manipulated by Xi and Putin....
Still polishing that turd you laid, huh Joe? Your Media allies are in the process of burying the story and YOU have to bring it up again? What did Red say on “That 70’s Show”?
“Dumb-ss!”
Slow Joe was not being baited, he was being intellectually challenged. But Joe can tolerate only subservience.
