      I just don't believe that anyone is actually offended by this. They're fakinghttps://twitter.com/lizcgoodwin/status/1138817493064138752 …

      Liz GoodwinVerified account @lizcgoodwin
      Joe Biden meets a voter’s granddaughter in an Iowa coffee shop and asks her age. She says she’s 13. He addresses her brothers. “You’ve got one job here, keep the guys away from your sister.”

      People aren't offended but they do find it cringe-inducing in the way that hearing an older relative say something dumb is embarrassing. More of a "make it stop" thing.

          Right, they're pretending to be offended because they don't like Biden for various extraneous reasons and therefore want to cast his grandpa jokes as somehow offensive, even though they are not actually offended.

          While trump has dozens of sexual assault accusations, the outsized outrage about Biden is hard to take seriously. Where was the media outrage about John Conyers?

          If Tracey ends up endorsing Biden over Trump next year, he’ll get some respect.

          It seems to me Biden is sort of creepy. He sees a young girl and immediately thinks sex. The test is would he have said this to sisters of a young boy of 13 years old. I doubt it.

          At the grocery store last week, a young employee made the mistake of asking a half-fossilized septuagenarian man, “what have you been doing lately?” “Any woman that will let me,” he replied, laughing uproariously at his own feeble brain fart as his long-suffering wife stood by.

          It’s a very old guy/old school thing to say. Maybe endears him to older voters, but I don’t think it’s a big deal. I mean we elected someone who bragged about grabbing you know what, so there’s that...

          Agreed. Not worried about Biden on substance, but he says some dumb shit.
