Joe Biden was facing intense backlash Wednesday night for referring to America as an "idea" that "we've never lived up to." The Democratic nominee shared a clip from his interview on the podcast "Unlocking Us with Brené Brown," which was released earlier in the day.
"America was an idea, an idea," Biden said. "'We hold these truths to be self evident.' We've never lived up to it, but we've never walked away from it before. And I just think we have to be more honest. Let our kids know, as we raise them, what actually did happen. Acknowledge our mistakes so we don't repeat them."
Biden summarized the remark by tweeting, "America was an idea. We've never lived up to it but we've never walked away from it before."
Biden was slammed by critics, including members of the Trump 2020 Campaign.

You Joe, are a traitor to that idea. You never did amount to anything other than a lying, criminal, pedophile.
“America was an idea.”
And Biden was a crook.

(sorry, that’s just a short list - time would fail to post the correct number - I’ve lost count, though)
Why would need to tell our kids America wasn’t perfect?
That’s the job of the schools and msm and hollywood.
And they’re doing a fine job of it.
My old man died way back.
Great guy.
When I talk of him, I don’t mention the several ways he was imperfect.
I mention the many ways he was a great man and father and husband. A man with integrity and honor.
If I was writing a history book about him :), I wouldn’t gloss over the not so great things, but they would be one chapter in a large book.
Not the whole book.
Let me guess, is this an Andrew Cuomo moment?
‘Cause the Left knows all about raisin’ chillins.
What an ass. Look at Hunter and do the opposite of any child rearing that Biden advocates.
The people who want to raise kids the way the Left does only want to molest them.
The new Harris-Biden slogan...
“America has always been a huge disappointment”
Wise words.
Well, Antifa is just an idea also..../s
We’ve as in the Biden Crime Family
Yes Joey, it is an idea...that America is a place where we strive every day for greatness...
Antifa is an idea to, right joe?
OUR mistakes? You got a mouse in your pocket, schmuck? I don’t recall making any “mistakes”.
Federalist 51The very argument that government is neither perfect nor perfectable means that it must not be trusted with unlimited power - power like the 50/50 Godfather wants to wield....But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary....
oh no not this again
Biden is such a scumbag.
Very unbecoming of a US president, but perfect for a democrat.
LOL

Joe Biden always provided a needed shot of adrenaline at difficult times by saying, “Come on, folks…we’re the United States of America. We can do this. We’ve been through rough times before, and we did just fine, and we’ll do so again.” (Undaunted)
That’s Leadership.
Vote.
