Oof.
Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden made an off-color joke during a radio interview on “The Breakfast Club” with Charlamagne tha God that aired on Friday while discussing how to earn the black community’s support.
What the hell is off color about this line? It is also 110% correct. Trump is the biggest racist in the white house since Woodrow Wilson, and that is saying a hell of a lot.
I just don’t understand. This is not a gaffe, or an off color joke, or basically anything. It is the truth, and if you actually listen to the 17 minute interview, an off hand joke at the end. Twitter and Republican outrage machine did not listen to the interview.
To those who concern trolled me, I listened to the entire interview, and I am going with this take,
Yawn. No one is going to vote for Biden with the expectation that he won’t put his foot in his mouth eight times before breakfast. Meanwhile, I’m going to wager that there aren’t enough "Black Voices for Trump: to form a choir.
You know it’s crap like this…
…I much prefer Obama’s annoying tendency to hesitate throughout his speech, searching for the correct word/metaphor/turn of phrase, to this pointing at his foot and firing approach to discourse that Biden engages in.
All things being equal though I watched him on Colbert last night and I couldn’t get over the fact that while Trump is trying to paint Biden as going senile, he is still 500% more cogent than Trump.
God dammit Joe!
The problem with this, is a white person doesn’t get to define what makes an African American. It’s white-splaining. He should stay away from it.
Sometimes it’s not what you say, but how.
In the end of the day does this change a vote? We all say things that don’t come out right but who really cares…
Good to see MAGA pondlife like Bullet necklace Pierson clutching for relevance…
FFS, we have a narcissist megalomaniac destroying the country, and this is newsworthy?
He’s 100% right. You ain’t black, brown, Muslim, Jewish, LGBT, etc. if you can’t decide between Biden and Trump. This is WAR!
“relative to Trump”…
of course its nothing – relative to Trump.
But its also really tone-deaf and cringeworthy, and the question I have is whether Trump has so debased our discourse and politics that there will be no going back — that no matter how bad someone is, the standard will be “relative to Trump”, and everyone (or at least all of our ostensible allies) will get a pass.
That Charlamagne guy seems a little uppity to me.
If we end up with 4 more years of lunacy, yes.
This is gonna be one of those comments where “woke” white liberals get extremely upset while black people are mostly like, “Find the lie.”
It is the height of hypocrisy for anyone who remotely supports Trumpet Mouth to even comment on what is or is not racist, including Katrina Pierson.
Sometimes, Joe… just hesitate a minute, ok? I get what you’re saying, and I’m sure minority voters get it, too, but when it comes to saying it, this is—to quote an aging meme—not the way.
All that said… I’d vote for Jeb! this year if that’s what it took to get Trump out of the fucking office.
The whitesplaining of Biden’s remarks by the Trump Klan is predictable, to say the least… they needed something with Trump’spolling at Fox sliding 10 points in a month.
I forgot the term but back in 2008 Biden called Obama a word that people thought was not politically correct. Obama still picked him as his VP- Next…
