WATCH: Keep an eye on the Biden family and their Ukraine dealings
Joe Biden seems to be the best chance Democrats have got right now.
That should have them panicked.
Nevermind that he’s a creepy head sniffer, Biden is now being accused of being a racist and a liar as well.
In Iowa campaign stop, Biden tells story of finding women in the “hood” to teach how to code
— Kambree (@KamVTV) May 3, 2019
According to the Washington Examiner:
Wednesday bragged about time he spent in the “hood,” a place where he said he found “women of color” he helped train to do computer coding.
How… brave of him?
What does he want? A pat on the back? A cookie?
Speaking at a rally, the former vice president elaborated on how U.S. workers need to receive better education to prepare themselves for a changing economy, and used a visit to Detroit, Mich., to describe how businesses went to local organizations that help train minorities various coding and technical abilities.
“Through a program we had through community colleges, we can teach people how to code,” Biden said. “We went out, literally into the hood, and they found, turns out, 54 [people], they happened to be all women, the vast majority were women of color, no more than a high school degree, aged 25-54, and a third of them only had GEDs.”
His phrasing wasn’t exactly PC enough for the PC crowd.
The use of “hood” drew nervous laughter from some Democrats in the audience. One person let out a “yikes,” but later cheered for Biden at the end of his anecdote.
But not everyone is as forgiving:
Joe I like you but the HOOD was my turf Lived there grew up and raised three fine young men before heading out to the deep woods for a change of life style.Better be respectful .the Hood has many great people that don't get spotted because of low expectations.

I thought this was a joke to bait people into impulsive comments.
Sure enough,"Through a program we had through community colleges, we can teach people how to code," Biden said. "We went out, literally into the hood…"
I'm stunned its authentic! pic.twitter.com/6KnuHmAjQU

No offense, but Joe Biden doesn’t look like he’s ever stepped foot in “the hood.”
But we’ll go ahead and add this to the long list of racially insensitive gaffs he’s made over the years. #IACaucus pic.twitter.com/B7ZPU1uxtM

Of course, this isn’t the first time Biden’s “look how cool I am with the black people” antics have gotten him in hot water:
“I still walk down the street in the black side of town,” he told the Washington Post in 1975. “Mousey and Chops and all the boys at 13th, and — I can walk in those pool halls, and quite frankly don’t know another white man involved in Delaware politics who can do that kind of thing.”
More recently, as vice president to Barack Obama during the 2012 reelection campaign, Biden told an audience that included many African Americans that Obama’s opponent, Mitt Romney, will “put you all back in chains.”
He’s just so freaking BAD at this.
Have fun in 2020, Dems.
