Joe Biden Retracts Black Voter Comment: "I Shouldn’t Have Been Such A Wise Guy"

Joe Biden showed some remorse for his remarks about how black folks considering voting for Trump over him "ain't black," after he received major backlash.

Joe Biden is backtracking on his comments about black voters that garnered him a ton of backlash this week, in which he told Charlamagne Tha God during an interview on The Breakfast Club that black voters who would choose Trump over him "ain't black." On Friday (May 22nd), the Democratic presidential candidate finally agreed to make a virtual appearance on the radio show after turning down numerous requests for an interview. At one point during their chat, the host invited Biden to return to the show before the election in November in order to answer any more questions that voters might have. However, Biden insisted that nobody should be experiencing any uncertainty about who to vote for at this point.

“You got more questions?” he asked Charlamagne, before declaring, "I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”

The comments were subject to major scrutiny, as folks pointed out how his remarks that a black voter "ain't black" simply because they might be hesitant to elect him into office proved how much some Democrats take support from the Black community for granted.

Biden later expressed his regret for what he said during a conference call with the Black Chamber of Commerce. "I should not have been so cavalier. I’ve never, never, ever taken the African-American community for granted,” he said. “I shouldn’t have been such a wise guy.” Biden's campaign senior adviser, Symone Sanders, also made a statement regarding the "ain't black" remark. "Vice President Biden spent his career fighting alongside and for the African American community," she tweeted. "He won his party's nomination by earning every vote and meeting people where they are and that's exactly what he intends to do this November."

"The comments made at the end of the Breakfast Club interview were in jest," she continued, "but let’s be clear about what the VP was saying: he was making the distinction that he would put his record with the African American community up against Trump’s any day. Period."

Donald Trump Clowns Cory Booker For Dropping Out Of Democratic Presidential Race

Cory Booker is no longer running for President.

It's official: Cory Booker will not be elected as the Democratic Presidential Candidate in the upcoming election to determine the next President of the United States. With such a large number of supporters, it's very clear that Donald Trump will be representing the Republican Party in the fall, possibly even leading the way against anybody that the Democrats choose to pit against him. Right now, there are no clear leaders on the left that pose a major risk to Trump's popularity. Cory Booker, who had been campaigning for several years in hopes of a 2020 run, officially called off his participation in the 2020 Presidential Election, dropping out and allowing his fellow leftists to battle it out. As you would expect, Trump had a message for Booker on social media, clowning him and taunting the politician by saying he was never a real threat in the first place.

"Really Big Breaking News (Kidding): Booker, who was in zero polling territory, just dropped out of the Democrat Presidential Primary Race," wrote the President on Twitter this morning. Yes, this man seriously is the President... "Now I can rest easy tonight. I was sooo concerned that I would someday have to go head to head with him!"

We live in a world where a man this petty and this childish is in charge of the country. Good times, y'all. The Democratic race continues to narrow down. Who is your favorite right now?
