“What would’ve happened in America?” the former vice president asked when discussing the assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy
Biden then spoke about the Vietnam War protest atsaying, “You had over 40 kids shot at Kent State on a beautiful lawn by the National Guard.” Except, four students were killed during the 1970 protest and nine others were wounded.
The former vice president also said that he was accused of being gay by critics of his support for the Equal Rights Amendment that would guarantee women protections under the constitution when it was up for ratification in the 1970s and 80s. “Well, you know why Biden is for the E.R.A., he’s probably gay,” Biden claimed some said.
These latest muddled remarks add to a litany of questionable statements made by the gaffe-prone candidate. And not too long ago,warned Biden campaign staffers not to let the former vice president “embarrass himself” or “damage his legacy” on the campaign trail. At this point, one has to wonder, as the Democratic field tightens, will Biden’s missteps begin to take a toll?
