Joe Biden addresses African American ‘diversity’ gaffe

Democratic nominee Joe Biden on Thursday attempted to clarify comments he made earlier in the day suggesting that the African American population is not as “diverse” as the Latino community.

“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 tweeted Thursday night.

I hear that “Shortenin’ Joe” loves shortenin’ bread...

Biden did pretty badly but it got much worse when he decided to sing Old Black Joe followed by Mammy. That was the best part. That and the tap dancing.

Yeah. Biden knows that the late Sammy Davis Jr. got his start as a kid tap dancing with his relatives. He always admired him for that.

He is an absolute trainwreck.

Let Joe be Joe! C’mon y’all!

[Dogbert41]

Did you mean to say;

"In no way did I mean to suggest the African American community is a monolith!

-not by identity,

-not on issues,

-not at all!”

"Blink once for "YES", Mr. Vice President."

Yea.....I saw this often with a family member. They often try and cover it themselves and often create further difficulties doing so. Biden des this a lot....you can also watch him clearly trying as hisfacial expressions and hand motions indicate.

What is wife and the Dems are doing to this man is disgraceful.

[djstex]

YES!
Lets Get MORE Hiden Biden telling All Who He Really Is!
:)

Rip van Biden: “Those uh, ummm, uh, darkies know what I meant. Come on mannnn.”

[Leaning Right]

Did Biden mention anything about them all being junkies?

[caww]

I’ll never forget his saying Obama was “clean”! But even in the past Bidens always been a fruit-loop.....he doesn’t appear to me to have ever taken things seriously. But with his problem now his ability to focus is truly deminished.

[gatorhead]

He won’t be the nominee. Don’t act surprised. It will be hillary again or mike. Barbed wire death match for the fiuture of the American republic.

“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 a member of the Biden campaign tweeted Thursday night.

Fixed.

Anyone else notice that Biden has been saying things like “I shouldn’t say what I want to because I will *get in trouble*” quite often???

He did it again in that “are you a junkie” interview.

My 17 year old son watched it and said “my G*d they have a handler behind the camera frantacially signaling him shut up when he goes off the rails.”

“By the way, what you all know, but most people don’t know, unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things,” Biden went on in the interview.

That's a slap in the face to the black community. Shame on Biden.

[JerseyDvl]

Just wait... This will be a daily occurrence.

[Helicondelta]

I doubt they even bothered to explain it to him. His wife tweets these “clarifications” without his knowledge.

[PghBaldy]

It is nearly impossible for me to blame him for anything he says anymore. I firmly believe he is not well, and it is obviously getting much worse, very quickly. I watched enough of the debates to see he was a different man then. Now, even in his well-made, heavily edited commercials he sounds like he is unwell.

Pop that corn, you dog-faced pony junkie!

I doubt they’d even trust that to Dr. Jill.

If you watch her recent interviews, she isn’t exactly the brightest light on the Christmas tree, either - often, to me, she has seemed very reluctant and uncommitted to this whole enterprise.

They’ve got some political-hack ‘fixers’ handling him and bandaging his mistakes.

I sure hope they’ve promised the Mrs./Dr. Biden something really big.

You said what you said, Joe.
