During an anti-violence rally, of all things, Joe Biden saw fit to declare:
“A guy who ended up becoming our national leader said, ‘I can grab a woman anywhere and she likes it,'” Mr. Biden told the crowd. “They asked me if I’d like to debate this gentleman, and I said ‘no.’ I said, ‘If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.’ “
In the midst of a national outcry about violence in schools, prompting but not only prompting intense, renewed attention on US gun laws, and at a rally specifically called to oppose violence, albeit focussed on sexualized violence, Biden chose to use his platform to endorse teens beating on teens.
As they say in the UK, “Good show, Mr. Biden. Good Show.”

Yes, sometimes we are (we in this case is not all inclusive, this is a reference to some of us who are generally on the right side of history, the right side of progress, the right side of justice, but do and/or say things that really are bad).

Joe Biden is possibly the dumbest person in the Democrats. It doesn’t reflect well on Obama that he was VP.

You mean he’s only twice as intelligent as the average Republican? Qh dear.
Raucous Indignation says
Oh c’mon on, Crazy Uncle Joe is way more than twice as smart as the average Republican. He went up against Paul Ryan, the Republicans’ smartest guy, in the 2012 VP debate, and Joe – pardon the toxic masculine allusion – mopped the floor with him.
