Number 5 Biden gaffe: “Poor kids are just as smart as white kids”
Oh boy, how this one didn’t sink Joe Biden is beyond insane.
Go back to the end of 2019 and Joe Biden’s Presidential campaign was getting ready to kick into full force.
In August of 2019, candidate Joe Biden appeared at an event by the “Asian & Latino Coalition PAC”. There he gave a speech and touched on giving kids the tools of success they need in school systems.
That’s all fine and dandy, but it’s when he let a really bad Freudian slip out that the whole tone of the room went dark faster than a winter evening.
Speaking about the education of children, he said “We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor, you cannot do it.” And then he delivered an all-time Biden gaffe that will stand the test of time.
“Poor kids are just as talented as white kids.” That’s rough.
Check out the clip below:
The best part was hearing the applause slowly come in because everyone knew that what Joe Biden just said was extremely messed up. He tried to recover by adding “wealthy kids, black kids, asian kids,” but the damage was done.
The comments on the video are golden.
One person said “As a poor person, I hope that with enough hard work and dedication, I too, can become a white kid.”
That’s just too good.
Another commented, “The people who immediately started clapping are paid to be there.”
We would be remiss if we didn’t include this one in the top 10 of Joe Biden gaffes, for certain.
