If Joe Biden refers to a black particular person as ‘negro’ on National TV, I can solely think about what he says behind closed doorways.— John D • (@RedWingGrips) November 11, 2021
Calling somebody a “negro” in trendy context is just not OK, particularly if you’re a profession politician named Joe Biden with a LONG historical past of claiming racist issues and selling racist coverage. It’s disgusting that Democrats are literally *excusing* this within the identify of politics.— Smug Potato (@PotatoSmug) November 11, 2021

Biden id, after all, used to committing gaffes at this level. Only just lately, President Biden had let loose an enormous fart throughout a dialog with the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla Parker Bowles, on the COP26 in Glasgow.
