    Are people really angry at Biden for mangling his words when trying to say poor black kids are as bright as rich white ones? Or just pretending to be angry?

        Perhaps concern that it's another indicator of costly gaffes to come?

        Do you think gaffes carry the same currency on the Trump era? I mean, Biden says a lot of silly things, but the most gaffe-prone candidate running for president is not named Biden.

        the "Woke" Dems who think Biden's a racist are loving it unfortunately. They have no idea of "taken out of context."

        Biden is not a racist. He is a great person. But he is old and makes too many dumb mistakes that the GOP is going to exploit. He should be VP again. It allows him to use his experience and connections to help the nominee while making his gaffes not matter so much.

        Pretending. Just like they were with Trump's "Toledo" gaffe.

        No... Trump couldn't be bothered to get it right because he doesn't give a shit.
