Joe Biden said he was vice president when the deadly high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, took place. Except, it happened in 2018, two years after he left office — the latest gaffe by the Democratic presidential front-runner.
Biden told reporters in Iowa on Saturday that “those kids in Parkland came up to see me when I was vice president.” But when they visited Capitol Hill to talk with members of Congress, lawmakers were “basically cowering, not wanting to see them. They did not want to face it on camera.”
The former vice president was making a point about the changing conversation around gun violence in this country, and how as more and more ordinary people are touched by mass shootings, they are more likely to call for action.
Blog Author's Comments: Joe Biden needs to seriously think about ending his quest for the nomination. He obviously doesn't have the mental capability required to campaign for the office of Chief Executive, much less govern the country. Whoever writes the notes for his campaign visits should do their research, or perhaps Biden is not following the script they provide him.
The man is clearly ignorant, but at the same time obnoxious. He was a Senator for 36 years, vice-president for 8, yet he and his party blame President Trump for America's problems. The Democrats cannot honestly have confidence that Biden can win the presidency, not from what he has shown so far, during his early campaign.
