Joe Biden Apologizes After Backlash for Saying Radio Host 'Ain't Black' If He Considers Voting for Donald Trump
Former Vice President Joe Biden has apologized for telling The Breakfast Club host Charlamagne Tha [...]
The comments from @JoeBiden were truly offensive, but a rare and honest insight into liberals thinking.
Liberals believe you really can’t be black, Latino, female, or intelligent unless you support their liberal agenda.

Immediately after Biden's comments on The Breakfast Club gained attention, Republicans seized the opportunity to criticize him. "If you think about the numbers, 1.3 million African Americans voted for Trump. He's saying [to] the 1.3 million African Americans that you're not black," South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, the only black Republican in the Senate, said on Fox Business Friday. "Who in the heck does he think he is?" Scott's fellow South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham also slammed Biden on Twitter.

Katrina Pierson, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign and leader of its Black Voices for Trump group, called Biden's remarks "racist and dehumanizing." Piersen said Biden has a "history of racial condescension and today he once again proved what a growing number of black Americans and I have always known — Joe Biden does not deserve our votes."

This is so embarrassing and hurtful I don’t even know where to begin. Please believe me when I say that the quote was not taken out of context and the only thing that will make you cringe more is watching the clip. Biden just...offers up the thought. https://t.co/JLdo6bI2Eq

Some Democrats also criticized Biden's remarks. "I see Biden has picked up on establishment media talking points," Briahna Joy Gray, a former Bernie Sanders campaign spokeswoman, tweeted. "This is the natural consequence of the reductive view of race & politics being pushed by the 'identity is destiny' crowd. Charming."

prevGaffe prone @JoeBiden tells African Americans when they exercise their right to vote, for a candidate of their choice, they better vote for me or they "ain't black". Another example of a democrat taking black voters for granted. @cthagod #disrespect https://t.co/yhUGv3eWW9
