Biden received widespread backlash for his remarks on Thursday, including from President Donald Trump. “The condescending white liberal racism that oozes out of Joe Biden is disgusting," Trump's senior campaign advisor, Katrina Pierson,According to Biden's campaign adviser Symone Sanders, Joe Biden's original comment was "referring to diversity of attitudes among Latinos from different Latin American countries."

What if Trump had said 'Blacks are not diverse'? What if Trump said, 'You ain't black if you don't vote for me.' mediahypocrisy

Oh, that's so refreshing. Lol. Biden has to walk back more comments, and the media so willingly forgives.

Just like Biden's previous comment? Where if President Trump had said if you don’t vote for him ‘you aren’t black’ the media would have been all over it and claimed it as proof that he is racist.

Moron. This is the best they have to offer? The table is set to hit a home run and they’re blowing it.

At this point, I’m pretty sure he doesn’t even know what a monolith is.

JoeBidenHasDementia

We have to cut Uncle Joe some slack. They only let him out of the home in 90 minute intervals and sometimes he just goes bat$hit crazy. He’s back now and safe

Well...

Joe is a racist.

Biden is and has always been a racist

KathleenFOX5 Haitians, Australian Aboriginal people, all the countries in Africa, etc. but he’s still a way better person than the current psychopath.

Another free pass for uncle Joe

So, he doesn't run this by the black folk running his campaign before hand

So Joe is now saying, 'I don't know what I'm talking about so stop listening to me.'

😂🤣😂

Biden is offensive and a racist! He lost a ton of votes with his insensitive comments!

Biden said, “Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids” and “You ain’t black if you don’t vote for me.” Y'all still support this guy?

What right thought was intended in his head compared to words? I mean look what he said earlier this year, “You ain’t black if you don’t vote for me' and in 2019, “Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.” Can't keep blaming intent on word choice

Context is important. Why does nobody understand this?

Good to know he can admit he made a mistake

Y’all still believe that Joe Biden cares about the “communities of color” & “combatting systemic racism”? In 2020 Biden said to the black community, “You ain’t black if you don’t vote for me' & In 2019 Biden said, “Poor kids are just as bright & just as talented as white kids.”

He didn’t walk back he clarified. Biden is a better man than trump any day.

The Democratic party always, utilise the American🇺🇸minorities: during elections. The Obama-Biden adm. didn't change: injustice since: Brown was killed in 2014Ferguson,sadly more black men as: GeorgeFloyd have been killed in🇺🇸US. Biden tone to black Americans is: condescending.

When people show you who they are, believe them the first time. ...and STILL better than Trump.

Biden is horrible.

Too late Joe , you can't keep walking back your racist remarks.

Biden has been racist all of his life!

Excuses are like assholes everybody has one

Hey Trumpdumbs! Selective outrage much?

Just a babbling idoit!!

Joe is crazy not apto to be a president of his condominun where he lives.

Fixing to quit Twitter just like Facebook. Every fricking word is picked apart and shit hits the fan. Can we just not over analyze. Sooner or later everyone will stop speaking. At my job I had to walk on pins and needles around coworker. So relieved when she moved on.

He will always be forgiven because he is a Democrat. He could walk through a primary school naked and that would be okay.

Distraction

Yeah...Trump already won.

He is a disgrace. He has no personal Black friends. His wife has none. I now understand how he makes such a racist comment now.

Oh really. What exactly did he mean.

But Biden did make African Americans seem like a monolith. Biden's racism is so ingrained, he just can't help himself because that is what he truly believes.

Joe Biden keeps chomping away his lead. He may want to remain silent anf allow Val Demmings to speak on his behalf. Some times it is best to simply shut up.

Lol that wasn’t joe. That was his nurse Jill who “walked it back”...

Just the beginning of him retracting comments made. Sound familiar? Don’t understand why our country cannot pick a qualified candidate.

JoeBidenRacist JoeBidenForMemoryCare2020

Too late. He says too many true gaffes.

Looking forward to the debates!

Blue Wave Dems we must win this election Stay United.

Biden basically said that African Americans are stupid with a few exceptions!

Someone wrote it for him. Joe Biden does not know how to use twitter.

Nice. So what comments did you want to allow the President to walk back while providing cover for him?

His mind is mush. Very sad.

I sometimes make statements that, upon reflection, don't sound the way I meant them. I don't know anyone who hasn't made one. It's good to clarify when a misstatement happens. That being said, Trump and his staff have to 'walk back' OBVIOUS insults & LIES ALL the time.

A little bit too much like Hubert Horatio Humphrey. Often, when he opens his mouth, even he is surprised by what comes out.

Both of these guys suck lmao, I’ll just write in for Yang.

RacistJoe has many more to walk back on.

He meant it - that African Americans are a monolith. Remember, he and Hillary referred to black youth as ‘super predators’ needing to be ‘brought to heel.’ How ‘bout his more recent ‘you ain’t black’ comment?

He doesn’t know if he is coming or going

If Bernie had any balls he’d make a push for the nomination at the convention.

Sure joe

I understood what he meant, Sleepy Joe will be Sleepy Joe. Lol. But the Latino Community is very diverse when it comes to politics.

He didn't write that apology and definitely doesn't manage his account. Didn't walk back anything imo

Joe Biden has no idea what he's saying. Not to be mean, but he can barely form a complete sentence. How would he lead the strongest Country on Earth, against Putin or China ? They would chew him up, and spit him out.

But he did can’t deny it all recorded and fake news accepts it!

🤷🏽‍♂️

Glad he’s being held accountable for these dumbass comments

Now what would the reaction of the USA today be if Trump said it?

Biden faces backlash for comparing diversity in African American, Latino communitiesFormer Vice President Joe Biden has come under fire for comparing diversity in African American and Latino communities. Best thing with JoeBiden is that he’s always a grownup, mature & doesn’t fall for these petty and childish things like “not wearing a mask” as a show of manhood, or a ridiculous congnitive test! Biden is just this common respectable & model person you find in your neighborhood! 😴😴😴
