Joe Biden completely fell apart during his interview with BET — that’s Black Entertainment Television — yesterday.
Before announcing he had COVID, Biden had said during the interview with that a “medical condition” would make him consider dropping out of the presidential race.
The interview went downhill from there, with Biden forgetting the name of his own Secretary of Defense (Lloyd Austin) and referring to him as “The Black Man.”
How racist of you, Joe.
Watch the cringeworthy moment here:
Joe Biden just forgot his Secretary of Defense’s name and called him “the black man.”
That’s extremely offensive to reduce a human to their skin color.
Shame on Biden!pic.twitter.com/ZboTJpn2lB

Social media commentators and journalists criticized President Biden for appearing to forget Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin‘s name and only referring to him as a “Black man” in a recent interview, although others said the moment was being misread.
Biden has participated in a series of media appearances after his poor debate performance last month led to calls for him to withdraw from the race.
“It’s all about treating people with dignity,” Biden said in an interview with Black Entertainment Television (BET). “I named the secretary of defense, a Black man.”
This wasn’t the only question Biden fumbled during the interview…
He also made the strange claim that stated that “young Blacks” aren’t focused on the Election “until after Labor Day.”
According to Joe, he’s losing support from the black community because they have a short attention span.
What racist trash is this?

Another reason Joe says he’s losing Black support is because he can’t go on-foot to “the projects….”

Yikes.
I – for one – am shocked Biden is losing so much support from Black voters…
I really can’t see why.
But, don’t worry, we’ll soon have a “black” female Democrat candidate running for president instead…
I’m sure Cackling Kamala will do so much better!
