Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign said Friday he"misspoke" after he came under fire for a gaffe he made during an Asian and Latino Coalition PAC event Wednesday night in Iowa, saying “poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”
President Trump’s re-election campaign quickly seized on the comments Thursday night, blasting them out on the “Trump War Room” Twitter account in a post that has been re-tweeted more than 7,000 times as of Friday afternoon. “As we approach the two year anniversary of Trump calling neo-Nazis and Klansmen 'very fine people,' Donald Trump is desperate to change the subject from his atrocious record of using racism to divide this country. Vice President Biden misspoke and immediately corrected himself during a refrain he often uses to make the point that all children deserve a fair shot, and children born into lower-income circumstances are just as smart as those born to wealthy parents,” the statement read.
"I saw his comment. Joe Biden's not playing with a full deck,” Trump told reporters on the South Lawn."This is not somebody you can have as your president."
