Latest gaffe on campaign trail by Democrats’ 2020 front-runner
Deadly attack at school in 2018, after Biden had left office
Joe Biden said he was vice president when the deadly high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, took place. Except, it happened in 2018, more than a year after he left office -- the latest gaffe by the Democratic presidential front-runner.
Biden told reporters in Iowa on Saturday that “those kids in Parkland came up to see me when I was vice president.†But when they visited Capitol Hill to talk with members of Congress, lawmakers were “basically cowering, not wanting to see them. They did not want to face it on camera.â€
The former vice president was making a point about the changing conversation around gun violence in this country, and how as more and more ordinary people are touched by mass shootings, they are more likely to call for action.

Uncle Joe needs to call it quits before he makes a complete azz out of himself more than he already has. He seems to have some sort of dementia; not uncommon at his age, but time for him to end his political career. He should take Nancy with him.
