Being one of the best presidents of the United States in recent memory sadly does not make someone immune to the occasional awkward situation. Joe Biden has done a lot to move his country. But we have to remain neutral, which means we have to come to terms with the fact that the man isn’t perfect either.
Joe Biden is the oldest US president in history, which leaves a lot of people questioning his mental and physical health, especially considering how important his office is. And since we all know about Trump’s verbal slip-ups, it only seems fair that we take a look at some of Biden’s too.
“Stand up, Chuck!”
While we can only applaud someone who asks a senator to stand up and take the spotlight for a while, vice presidential nominee Joe Biden did just that with Chuck Graham. Sadly, Chuck had been unable to stand up ever since he was a teenager due to paralysis. Graham didn’t mind at all, he claimed that after more than a decade in politics, people forgot he was a wheelchair user all the time.
“Poor Kids Are Just as Bright as White Kids”
I can already hear your “oof” just by reading the quote above. Back in 2019, Joe Biden let this quote fly in Iowa before realizing his mistake and quickly adding, “Wealthy kids. Black kids. Asian kids.” Quick reflexes for an old man! If he hadn’t saved himself there, his campaign would have been completely Joever.
