Latest Biden blunder: ‘Poor kids’ are just as bright as ‘white kids’

Quote:

Gaffe-prone presidential hopeful Joe Biden put his foot in his mouth during an Iowa campaign stop on Thursday when he told a group of predominately Asian and Hispanic voters that “poor kids are just as bright, just as talented, as white kids.”

Biden committed the stunning blunder while speaking about education at a town hall with the Asian and Latino Coalition in Des Moines, where he’s campaigning and fundraising for the 2020 Democratic primary.

“We should challenge students in these schools and have advanced placement programs in these schools. We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor, you cannot do it,” Biden said at the event, according to video of his remarks.

“Poor kids are just as bright, just as talented, as white kids,” he added.

Biden almost immediately went into damage control mode, quickly adding: “wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids, no I really mean it, but think how we think about it.”

Biden walked out of the Democratic primary debates last week red-faced after he accidentally told donors to “go to Joe 30330” when he meant to tell them to “text JOE to 30330″ to donate.

On Monday, the befuddled 76-year-old bungled the locations of the El Paso and Dayton mass shootings when he expressed sympathy for the “tragic events in Houston today and also in Michigan the day before.”

I thank God that I am not a Democrat ... or a Biden ... or a Republican, for that matter.

I really wish Biden wasn't the sole moderate democrat on track to make the 3rd debate. Was he always this gaffe prone or is a nationwide campaign too much for him at age 76?

There was a show on TV during the Clinton administration in which one of the characters referred to another character as "our Joe Biden".

Yes, he is famous for his blunders.

'We choose truth over facts." Roughly translated, he's saying, "We'll tell you what the truth is. Don't get bogged down in trivial stuff like "facts."

Is he the second coming of Richard Daley Sr.?

If Trump had said that we'd be up to at least five pages of outrage by now...

Yeah, no doubt. Trump is just a symptom of what ails us as a country, not the disease. But the left doesn't want to accept their share of the blame of how we contracted this disease.

Agreed that the left definitely shares responsibility for this presidency. They have not learned from this because they are convinced that Trump is the result of hate and racism, and for their narrow minded arrogance they very well have four more years of Trump in store for them.

Aside from that, Trump's not a politician and never has been. He says and does whatever he wants and I do not feel at all embarrassed to have him as our president. I'm not interested in world opinion and especially not those of progressives.

He’s anything but moderate.
But I guess he appears that way compared to the others.

Not a Biden fan.He seems weak and wishy washy.Not to mention he’s way too free with those hugs.
I’d be like,“Get off me you freak.”
