Nov 2019

In the past, Joe would have been quick to acknowledge his mistake and laugh about it. Lately, it feels like he has been uncharacteristically defensive, but that observation is limited to a few times I've seen or read about him lately. I haven't seen any video of him in his campaign events, so I know better than to judge under such circumstances. Everyone has bad days on the campaign trail.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Highlight:

Maybe Biden thought of Harris as the first Indian-American Senator? [View all] OldRed2450 Nov 2019 OP

Yes. News stories about her Senate win sometimes mentioned ONLY her Indian heritage: highplainsdem Nov 2019 #1

It's nice of you... tonedevil Nov 2019 #2

I'm sure he is aware she is African American OldRed2450 Nov 2019 #3

If you actually think he is aware... tonedevil Nov 2019 #4

This whole thing is petty OldRed2450 Nov 2019 #5

So how does that... tonedevil Nov 2019 #11

No need... pfeiffer Nov 2019 #6

Your argument is wrong and your contempt is petty. If Biden thought of Harris as highplainsdem Nov 2019 #7

When I lived in California PatSeg Nov 2019 #10

I'm pretty sure he meant to say... tonedevil Nov 2019 #13

I didn't understand that either PatSeg Nov 2019 #15

Thank you. I wish I had seen this thread earlier. R B Garr Nov 2019 #23

2nd post- Good catch! Just watched Kamala being sworn in by Biden R B Garr Nov 2019 #25

The OP didn't make the tweet.. why are you being so Cha Nov 2019 #18

She's not African Lizzie Boredom Nov 2019 #26

Not African... tonedevil Nov 2019 #27

Who's "making fun of her DNA"? Lizzie Boredom Nov 2019 #50

Welcome to DU... SidDithers Nov 2019 #45

How did blacks get to Jamaica? Cuthbert Allgood Nov 2019 #73

The OP didn't "manufacture" anything.. as you Cha Nov 2019 #17

Are you suggesting there is any reason... tonedevil Nov 2019 #20

I'm saying you're being rude and insulting. Cha Nov 2019 #21

I'm inclined to agree with you PatSeg Nov 2019 #16

That's puting it mildly. InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #52

Of course you were likely grinning from ear to ear as he stumbled. But it is what it is, Blue_true Nov 2019 #63

Because Joe Biden would never, ever make an incorrect statement. Act_of_Reparation Nov 2019 #31

She identified as Indian-American when he swore her in, so take it up with her LongtimeAZDem Nov 2019 #32

This might come as a huge fucking surprise... Act_of_Reparation Nov 2019 #34

But he had every reason to believe that is how she identified herself, so you have no LongtimeAZDem Nov 2019 #35

He had every reason to believe she identified as Indian. Act_of_Reparation Nov 2019 #36

You are saying the reason... tonedevil Nov 2019 #46

You admitted you could not hear that he said CMB R B Garr Nov 2019 #53

None of that makes sense. tonedevil Nov 2019 #54

You keep trying to change what Biden said so you can push your own agenda with this. R B Garr Nov 2019 #55

Doesn't matter if it was had or has... tonedevil Nov 2019 #56

Look at you dismissing what he actually said to inject your own biased interpretations R B Garr Nov 2019 #57

I have neither added nor subtracted... tonedevil Nov 2019 #58

The video of Biden speaking doesn't match your "transcript". R B Garr Nov 2019 #59

Here's the video since you changed the transcript. 12 seconds in. R B Garr Nov 2019 #60

I don't want you to think... tonedevil Nov 2019 #61

This "conversation" is pretty much your insistence that you want to change Biden's R B Garr Nov 2019 #62

I'm not the one who has two different narratives... tonedevil Nov 2019 #64

You have admitted to refusing to acknowledge R B Garr Nov 2019 #65

I don't know where you see... tonedevil Nov 2019 #68

You refuse to acknowledge what he said. You chamged R B Garr Nov 2019 #69

Read as much or as little... tonedevil Nov 2019 #71

You keep changing Biden's words to fit your gaffe R B Garr Nov 2019 #77

His addition was the opposite... tonedevil Nov 2019 #79

Actually it was Kamala who didn't hear him the first R B Garr Nov 2019 #82

Not quite my take... tonedevil Nov 2019 #85

LOL, now you acknowledge the word he actually said R B Garr Nov 2019 #86

She heard exactly what he said... tonedevil Nov 2019 #87

You've spent 5 days refusing to acknowledge Biden's R B Garr Nov 2019 #89

No... tonedevil Nov 2019 #90

you've spent 5 days denying what Biden actually R B Garr Nov 2019 #91

You think you are the arbitrator of credible? tonedevil Nov 2019 #93

You refused to acknowledge Biden's own words. R B Garr Nov 2019 #94

I get it... tonedevil Nov 2019 #98

You refused to acknowledge what Biden said. Your spin R B Garr Nov 2019 #99

I'm going to award you points for consistency... tonedevil Nov 2019 #100

You refused to acknowledge Biden's own words, so your fabrications aren't credible. R B Garr Nov 2019 #101

What he said makes sense... tonedevil Nov 2019 #102

Now you changed his word again. He said "HAD ever been elected" R B Garr Nov 2019 #103

12 seconds in: "who'd ever been elected" Fyi, that means "who had" R B Garr Nov 2019 #104

Now you are changing it to who'd LOL... tonedevil Nov 2019 #105

Are you saying that he did not say... tonedevil Nov 2019 #107

He described her as the first. It was clear to me. Then he was rudely interrupted. R B Garr Nov 2019 #108

Proof of whose history? tonedevil Nov 2019 #109

You don't need to type his words. You've changed them so many times anyway. R B Garr Nov 2019 #110

If you can't read it I understand... tonedevil Nov 2019 #111

I can read how you changed his words, which is the "it" R B Garr Nov 2019 #112

Whatever... tonedevil Nov 2019 #113

CMB is not a "wild tale", and Biden was talking about her R B Garr Nov 2019 #114

That is the most delusional... tonedevil Nov 2019 #115
