What Joe Said

Sarah Silverman liked and re-tweeted a tweet by an African-American woman whose name I didn't know, saying that a white guy doesn't get to tell black people they're not black if they support the most racist President since Woodrow Wilson over him. I was about to comment on Silverman's tweet with something like "White woman likes tweet by black woman telling white people that they don't get to tell black people they're not black if they support the world's biggest living racist nightmare," but before I could make the comment, Ms Silverman's tweet had disappeared.

Perhaps because in the meantime, Biden had apologized for his comment to Charlemagne Tha God,


saying "perhaps I was much too cavalier" and "I shouldn't have been such a wise guy."

The whole thing, wise-ass insensitive remark, Twitter uproar and apology, happened within a few hours.

Another way you can tell Biden apart from Trump: he apologized for saying something dumb. Remember? Apologies? That thing we haven't heard from a US President in 3 and a half years?
