Biden did meet Parkland students on Capitol Hill

1. Thanks for this post. Important to have the facts. Biden has been concerned about gun control

over the years, having written legislation in 1994 and been tasked to handle the issue under
Obama. Makes sense he would meet with Parkland students and survivor families.

2. Like many I thought it was an error by him and he meant another shooting when he was VP

But a quick google search showed that video. So his "crime" is just saying he was Vice President. If that's a big deal my God are we getting petty. Pence didn't give Parkland victims the time of day yet we're jumping on one of our own who did.

4. It is unfortunate his own staff member didn't have the facts to push back on this.

That this was brought up on multiple threads attacking Biden for his "gaffe", yet the OP was apparently never corrected does not speak well to its author(s).

15. Yeah, Joe needs DU's Biden Group to be on his Rapid Response Team!

3. Thx for posting! Petty is right..."they" just want to knock him down. It isn't working

5. Missed It

But I will go back and look at a post wrongly slamming a Democratic candidate.

On this site there are two levels of care: ordinary care and extraordinary care.

We should exercise extraordinary care in this site before posting unsubstantiated and negative articles about Democratic candidates.

Perhaps the facts somehow escaped the OP, but the slam was reckless and intentionally harsh, likely to benefit another candidate.

We must exhibit extraordinary care on DU.

6. And he is still called "Vice-President

So being vice president and being called by that name are different things.

7. Why is this thread that corrects the record disappearing while the OP that propagates false story

continues to be getting extreme attention?

Why? Aren't we better than that?

8. K&R for facts

10. Another complaint goes down the drain

It's becoming clear that all this ongoing finger-pointing and whine is just part of the 'attack Biden" movement. Which, of course, underscores VP Biden's strength in this race.

Good to see DUers putting out the fires. Thanks Otto.

14. K&R He met with the kids. They wanted to meet with him. They knew he cared.

THAT is the important thing.
