Dr. Jill Biden told CNN host Jake Tapper that it is unfair to criticize her husband’s so-called “gaffes” when President Donald Trump lies so often.

During an interview that aired on Sunday’s State of the Union program, Biden stopped Tapper immediately when he brought up the word “gaffe.”

“Your husband has been known to make the occasional gaffe,” Tapper said.

Biden interrupted: “You can’t even go there! After Donald Trump, you cannot even say the word gaffe.”

1. ABSOLUTELY THE BEST RESPONSE and we need tis to be the only repsonse to these

question. Like shut the fuck up with Joe's gaffes and do well reporting on trumps/gop lies

[GoCubsGo]

3. Trump is a blithering gaffe machine.

He's constantly blathering incoherently, and unlike Biden, he doesn't correct himself. He doesn't even know he made a gaffe half the time. Tapper and the others just ignore it, as if it's no big deal. I'm glad he got called out on it.

[malaise]

26. I disagree - you have to know something to make a gaffe

The killa Con just spews shit because he knows nothing about anything except lying and conning people

[Alacritous Crier]

45. He's a gibbering chimp flinging feces.

[malaise]

49. Nicely put

[GB_RN]

59. Please...

Don’t insult our closest relatives with that comparison. Chimpanzees are intelligent and capable of showing compassion. Dolt45 possesses neither of those qualities, not now nor has he ever.

😁

[Alacritous Crier]

60. Apologies to chimpanzees worldwide.

[Lonestarblue]

10. She could have added Trump's "gaffe" of lying about winning two Nobel prizes.

[SMC22307]

16. Trump's lies are endless. She shut that whole "gaffe" thing down in seconds --

no need to get into gory details. Short and sweet - control the narrative.

[SMC22307]

11. Seriously, and it only took a couple of seconds.

Democrats, THIS is how it's done -- Philly-style!

[dalton99a]

15. +1

[Roy Rolling]

22. +1,000,000

Biden’s team is excellent. She knew the questions that would come—some tough questions. Not softball questions like Trump gets fed on his favorite network. Which is a gigantic weakness for Trump—he’s afraid to appear on non-Fox News networks.

When Tapper asked a question from the “other side”—Dr. Jill hit the hardball question for a homerun. Smacking down tough questions without name calling is something that’s impossible for Trump.

[Thekaspervote]

2. Smack em Jill!

[OregonBlue]

4. From here on out, every time anyone brings it up on any discussion board, or in any conversation,

just say "No, after Donald Trump, you can't even go there." Make it a meme

[SMC22307]

18. Exactly. It's a perfect soundbite - shut it down w/ no debate. (n/t)

[NoMoreRepugs]

5. Dr Jill is FIERCE. TKO Dr Biden.

[zentrum]

6. Shame on Tapper.

[uponit7771]

7. THANK YOU !!!

[iluvtennis]

8. Bravo Jill Biden, bravo! nt

[niyad]

30. Brava

[George II]

9. He was itching to "go there", but she didn't let him do it. I never knew much about her before...

...but I've learned in the last couple of months she's one tough woman and 110% behind her husband and Democrats. A great spokesperson for us.

[calimary]

39. She'll be a fabulous First Lady!

[Ferrets are Cool]

12. More of our side need to STOP THEM IN THEIR TRACKS when thrown these gotcha

questions.

[keithbvadu2]

13. Trump just makes up his lies as he needs them.

Trump just makes up his lies as he needs them.

He does not even have to keep track of them.

Donald will lie even if it contradicts a previous lie.

[malaise]

28. Donald will lie even if it contradicts a previous lie.

THIS

[moonscape]

32. ... and do it in the same paragraph! n/t

[BlancheSplanchnik]

48. And his fans don't care!!

La di da!! Who needs reality? 🎶

[dalton99a]

14. Perfect.

[TruckFump]

17. LOL, he Tapper must of thought he was talking to Melania!

Not an intelligent well-spoken, well-educated person like Dr. Biden!

Edit for typo

[IggleDuer]

38. Wait a minute! ...

... Doesn’t Melena have something like five advanced degrees?

[spooky3]

50. And an Einstein visa! Nt

[treestar]

62. She speaks 18 languages!

too!

[IggleDuer]

64. None of which are understandable to the Trumpanzees.

Trump understand one of them....NUDE.

[wryter2000]

19. And what about the utter nonsense Trump spouts

He can't pronounce words. He mixes words up. "The oranges of the investigation." He said that one twice.

Way to shut Tapper up. And he's usually one of the better ones.

[dchill]

20. Looks like a Tapper gaffe to me.

[Olafjoy]

21. Watching this makes me happy 😃

[still_one]

23. +++ In addition, a lot of these so-called "gaffs", are not gaffs at all, but the media and others

misrepresenting what he said, or taking things out of context

[SWBTATTReg]

24. She's absolutely right too. trump has created a new meaning for the word 'gaffe', 'bunker boy',

'idiot', 'PINO', etc.

[crickets]

25. Way to go, Jill! That's how you do it.

She's absolutely right, and that response should be used, firmly with no exceptions, every time the 'gaffe' nonsense is brought up. That line of discussion is horse race nonsense and it has to stop.

[smirkymonkey]

27. She shut that down brilliantly!

Well done, Dr. Jill!

[SayItLoud]

29. The media now accepts the word salad BS of tRUMP;

It's tRUMP strategy about lying. Lie so much it becomes "reported news" not qualified and held accountable.

[not_the_one]

31. Or "Are you fucking kidding me? After the word salad of Trump, the alleged "stable genius"?"

She was TOO kind.

[Cosmocat]

33. LONG overdue for democrats to do this

nm

[WheelWalker]

34. She gave him her "teacher's voice", LOL!

[Demsrule86]

54. My husband used to say "don't talk to me in that teacher's voice" when I would get after him...

I taught chemistry for some years.

[Shermann]

35. Trump does stay in his lane pretty well

He's fairly skilled at sounding smart without actually saying anything smart. It's mostly puffed-up filler when he controls the narrative.

The last time he drifted out of his lane we got bleach and UV light. So Biden needs to draw him out into these technically difficult areas.

[subterranean]

40. Lots of hand gestures help, too.

The hand gestures makes his followers feel like he's confident and knows what he's talking about, regardless of what nonsense he's spouting.

Whenever he talks about actual policies or anything of substance, he always speaks in generalities. He only sounds smart if you don't think much about the words he's saying.

[Shermann]

41. Yeah when his beady eyes stop scanning back and forth and his hands go up...

that's when he's switching from teleprompter to freestyle mode. That's when he trips up.

[Demsrule86]

55. No he isn't...he can't even pronounce words my kids could when they were three.

[Shermann]

56. I didn't say it was the "fast" lane

[JI7]

66. He doesn't sound smart at all. That's one of the reasons his idiots support him

[yaesu]

36. whenever a corporate media hack asks that question Joe should ask, where have you been the last

4 years, asleep in a cave?

[StClone]

37. Finally, I've been wating...Thanks JILL!

[ehrnst]

42. THANK YOU!!!! (nt)

[cp]

43. Good on ya, Jill!

Perfect response.

I loved it!

[cilla4progress]

46. Dr. Biden is a SECRET WEAPON!!!!!!!!!!

This is EXACTLY what I've been wanting someone to say!

It's another bullshit media meme.

Win, lose or draw...theft or disinformation: I'm sticking with these folks!

[bucolic_frolic]

47. A lot of things different post-Trump. Democrats not tied to conventional rules anymore, for one.

[gademocrat7]

51. Dr. Biden brings her A game!

An outstanding educator who does not tolerate nonsense.

[onetexan]

52. Darn! She owns him & shuts him down completely

bravo Jill!!

[kacekwl]

53. Shove it Jake and

anyone else who might ask. Same goes for the stupid drug test. Boom Dr. Jill for the win.

[Takket]

57. that is how you handle idiotic comments like that.

I had to explain to a friend too that got poisoned with all the "Biden has cognitive issues" bullshit that Biden has a stutter so sometimes it seems like he "can't think of the right words" to say it is just because of the stutter, which is not a sign of dementia!!!!

[marble falls]

58. Jill should be a Senator. Or a President ...

“Nope,” Biden said, shutting the host down. “Done. It’s gone.”

“The gaffe issue is over?” Tapper asked.

“Over, so over,” Biden replied.

[treestar]

61. Damn right!

[Cha]

63. Damn Straight, Jill Biden. Tapper should know

better bit apparently NOT.

[world wide wally]

65. Good one, Doc

[blaze]

67. Chasten Buttigieg response!!!

Link to tweet

"As a political spouse you walk a very blurry and confusing tight rope during interviews with regard to what you can and cannot say. Watching @DrBiden shut this down just cured my allergies and cleared my skin."

[Earthshine2]

68. I'm a CNN junkie. Tapper is one of my least favorite. nt

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

69. Agreed. And anyone who supports Trump has given up the right to complain about *anyone* being rude,

childish, uninformed, dishonest, etc. If you're OK with the President of the United States behaving that way, then you'd better be OK with less prominent, less influential, less privileged people behaving the same way.

[bucolic_frolic]

70. Time and again we are coming up with answers to problems that have long plagued us

It's because we understand now, we are thoroughly ticked off, and the cycle of history is turning in our favor.

May we cleanse the stains from America's soul

[Blue Owl]

71. BLAMMO

In yo face motherfucker
