1. Basket line. .

It's probably higher than that.

[Bengus81]

2. If he had to say anything he could have said a very small amount. Gawd.........

[CurtEastPoint]

4. Agree, and seriously, it's probably around 4% who are total assholes.

[Scarsdale]

10. Many of those are

in the tRump administration. Many others are members of the gop.

[milestogo]

3. Are they "Deplorables"?

We know how well that went over.

[still_one]

5. Yes he did have to say it out loud, because it is the truth. It is much more in fact

When the country has elected a racist, bigot, and sexist, it is way past due to call a spade a spade

Not calling things out is part of the reason we are in the situation we are in.

[FoxNewsSucks]

6. From what I see on TV this morning,

I'd say that number is 32%

[still_one]

9. and it should be called out. If some are worried that those 32% that you refer to

will not vote for Biden because of that statement, I have news for them, they weren't going to anyway, and to ignore the reality of the situation, is legitimizing them

[Raster]

16. absolutely. This "clutch the pearls" attitude because Biden spoke out is ridiculous...

...tRump*s 32% wouldn't vote for Jesus Christ over tRump*. To the racists, supremacists, klaners, toxic mysoginists and reich-wing homophones, tRump* is their Christ.

Biden was right on the money... perhaps a tad too generous. There are some very shitty people in the United States.

[still_one]

18. He was too generous Raster. Your number is much more accurate

[johnthewoodworker]

20. I concur.

[FoxNewsSucks]

17. True,

I'm referring to the polls that are being shown on TV. 32% approve of MF45's handling of the George Floyd protests. Obviously they're assholes, and it's long past time to stop pretending otherwise.

The other poll I've seen reported a lot this morning is that 74% of Americans see Floyd's death as a symptom of a much more widespread problem. So that 26% who don't see it that way are almost certainly part of that 32%.

What I don't understand is the remaining 6% who DO see that there's a big problem, but still approve of the way MF45 has been handling the protests.

[agingdem]

7. yes he did

would you be happier if he said "good people on both sides"?..Hillary called them deplorables...oh the uproar!...was she wrong?...no she was not...so tired of "trying to understand" the Trump slobbering sychophants...what's don't we understand?...they hate with a burning passion...if Joe makes nice do you really think Trump's nazi cult is going to vote for Joe...what are the odds, huh? No more tempering Joe's words..no more making nice...right now and until the election "nice" is a four letter word...

[weissmam]

8. The truth

Hurts , but its still the truth

[in2herbs]

11. Wasn't this HRCs way of saying "deplorables"? nt

[LiberalFighter]

12. It is time to recognize that there is a segment of society that are assholes.

[The Wizard]

13. It's the 15% principle

15% of any institution on any given day will be assholes. Sometimes it's your turn to deal with them.

[LovingA2andMI]

14. What's Wrong with the Truth!!!

Thank you V.P. and Soon-to-Be POTUS Biden.

And those hanging on Biden's every word need to get over themselves as he is going to say what is on his mind. He ALWAYS has.

[MuchBetterThanThis]

15. What's the definition of "good"?

There are people who may be racist/bigoted by nature but are “good “ people otherwise.
Many are ignorant but not by their own fault. Growing up a racist rural area can cause that IMO

[Steelrolled]

21. I hope this is just a gaffe

Alternative explanations are too depressing.

[Proud liberal 80]

22. The statement wasn't bad

And the only thing he was wrong in was the number. It’s higher.....that’s the problem with America and Republicans, we are looking for that gotcha moment....looking at that whole statement, everyone says the same thing....it’s basically saying we have a few bad apples, but most people are good...and I have heard that phrase plenty of times...

[Chainfire]

23. I suspect that the actual number

is around 43%. But why hand the enemy a weapon to use against you?
