In reply to the discussion: Can we at least admit he misspoke? [View all]Peacetrain
(22,872 posts)21. I did not think you were bashing.. and I do not think VP Biden misspoke..
He has made it clear numerous times.. that certain powerful DEMOCRATIC senators when he was first elected would dismiss him and use demeaning ways of talking to another senator by calling him son.. instead of Senator Biden.. can you imagine for a second if one of our older Senators started referring to AOC as young lady.. nope.. the fact that others misunderstood or worse yet willfully tried to make it something it wasnt, is not VP Bidens problem.. but he is handling it.. because this shit will never end.. and you have to have someone who can handle it..
