President Biden told a black radio station in an interview released Thursday that he understood their struggle for representation — because he didn’t think Catholics could be president before John F. Kennedy was elected more than six decades ago.
Biden, 81, told Pennsylvania radio host Andrea Lawful-Sanders that he knew what his nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court meant to “a young girl who is in school and having trouble.”
“I looked at John Kennedy and said, ‘Well, he — John — he got elected. Why can’t I get elected?'” the president said. “People need things to look up to.”
Seconds earlier, Biden made the bizarre and nonsensical claim that “I’m the first president that got elected statewide in the state of Delaware, when I was a kid,” a lapse that will do nothing to quell concerns over his advanced age, which have only grown since his embarrassing performance at his debate last week with former President Donald Trump.
“A lot of people are talking about the debate and your performance – do the American people need to be concerned?” Lawful-Sanders asked, to Biden’s apparent chagrin.
“No, I had a bad debate – I had a bad debate” he said with a nervous laugh. “But 90 minutes on stage does not erase what I’ve done for three and a half years.”
The appearance was one of two pre-recorded interviews with black radio stations in swing states that aired Thursday.

“I had a bad night, I had a bad night,” he said with a chuckle. “The fact of the matter is that, you know, it was – I screwed up, I made a mistake and, but I learned from my father, when you get knocked down, just get back up. Get back up.” ***

um.. but JFK’s brain damage was caused by a bullet not old age
“But 90 minutes on stage does not erase what I’ve done for three and a half years.”
If only it could!
“I dont no ways remember what I remembered. And dat JFK jr aint neither.”
Got news for Joe Biden, if you have to go around trying to convince people you dont have dementia, you’ve already lost
Biden:
“I’m the first president that got elected statewide in the state of Delaware, when I was a kid”
Just omg.
There is a lot to unpack in those very few words.
One of the more interesting (and less discussed) symptoms of dementia is issues with time—confusing the past, present and future.
This is a good example of it.
We are living in bizzarro world. He should go eat ice cream. My demented mom doesn’t remember what year (she thinks it’s 1973), month or day it is. She can’t tell time on an analog clock.
👍
Joe Biden is Satan incarnate. Not a joke. He’s evil.
Black listener: Yes, John F. Kennedy and Joe Biden. I’ve always had trouble telling those two apart./S
The campaign should stage a “candid” photo of a black family’s home with framed pictures of Jesus, JFK, Martin Luther King and Joe Biden.
History note: “Joe Biden told a group of mostly Asian and Hispanic voters Wednesday that poor kids are just as bright as white children.”
XD XD
I think our side should start having Biden on and using the media’s tricks to make him look ok.
Oh, I’d go full on. Bongino, if you’re listening...
Operation chaos v2.0
I believe in going after the traitor for things that are simply unexplainable.
This quote actually makes some sense, due to the fact that he was very young when first elected. Many people in their 50's and above would easily refer to themselves as a "kid" when looking back.
“But 90 minutes on stage does not erase what I’ve done for three and a half years.”
One of the few times in this evil pricks life he told the truth. It will take years to undue the damage he has done if it is even possible
HOW ABOUT THE DAMAGE he has done for over 50 years????
Quotes:
Biden’s performance on Wednesday night’s debate was no exception, starting out with a misstatement that the Democratic presidential candidate was endorsed by “the only African American woman ever elected to the Senate,” while sharing a stage with none other than Senator Kamala Harris, the second African American woman to be elected to the Senate. While punishment was swift and Biden quickly corrected himself, he then turned his attention to the issue of sexual violence against women — saying that Americans need to end the culture of male violence and “keep punching it and punching it and punching it.”
“His comments have some voters alarmed, afraid that they may be signs of a declining mental state due to age.”
Quotes:
Former vice president and now Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has consistently been portrayed as gaffe-prone. Pundits and journalists describe Biden’s speeches as filled with moments of “bumbling” and “stumbling,” triggering questions about the candidate’s mental fitness and hinting at possible age-related cognitive decline. The media regularly uses these theories as an opportunity to explore the issue of age as it relates to the candidate, and to question whether Biden is up to the exhaustive challenge of running for the nation’s highest office.
For example, during a recent Town Hall, Biden avoided saying President Obama’s name to prevent his stuttering from coming to the surface (i.e., he stuttered on “Obama,” stopped himself before it became noticeable, and said, “My boss” instead). What many perceived as Biden “forgetting” Obama’s name was actually Biden’s attempt to get through stuttering as quickly and comfortably as he could in that moment. Biden was subsequently mocked and ridiculed in the media.
He was 77 when he was elected President, so not a kid then. Maybe he was referring to being elected to the Senate when he was 29 (he turned 30 before the term started).
Many millions heard Biden:

Perhaps:
When Joe was a kid, Kennedy was the first Catholic presidential candidate to win in Delaware.
Catholic Al Smith failed to win in Delaware in 1928:

Quotes:
“If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, there’s still a 30% chance we’re going to get it wrong.”
Biden may have gotten a big promotion on Jan. 20, but he proved early on in his term that he was still the same old gaffe-prone politician.
The White House later dismissed the remark, with Obama quipping at a prime-time press conference, “I don’t remember exactly what Joe was referring to, not surprisingly.”
