Joe Biden at a black history month event made this stupid statement: I may be a white boy, but I can jump. Just another friendly reminder that this is the ‘man’ who is one heartbeat away from the presidency. I hope a video of this gets released. Joe Biden’s I may be a white boy, but I can jump can be found in the following press report:
Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, hosted a reception Tuesday night at the Naval Observatory in honor of African-American History Month. The vice president’s office was expecting about 150 people, and spotted in the crowd were: Michigan Rep. John Conyers, Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson, Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx, Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson (“I told the president, next game, I’ve got him,” Biden said of the former NBA star, “I may be a white boy, but I can jump“), senior Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, AFSCME president Lee Saunders, Columbia SC Mayor Steve Benjamin and National Black Caucus of State Legislators president Joe Armstrong.
The Vice President was introduced by his wife, who said “February is a time for all of us to pause to remember the sacrifices and to recognize the contributions of African-Americans who have helped make our country the beacon of freedom, equality and opportunity that it is today.”
Biden spoke about watching the civil rights movement unfold from a distance as he was growing up, but how it nonetheless shaped his thinking in a searing way.
Biden centered most of his remarks on voting rights, tying the March on Selma — which he called a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement because he said it prompted Lyndon Johnson to support the Voting Rights Act — to recent events.
“Without the right to vote, nothing else much mattered,” he said, reflecting on why Selma stood out for him.
Joe Biden, the gift that keeps on giving.
Just imagine though for one second if a Republican said the same thing. You think the race card would be spewed by the corrupt leftist media and the racial grievance industry? Of course it would! But since it’s just Joe being Joe, it probably wouldn’t even get any coverage.
