Biden on minority support: 'I was raised in the black church'

DES MOINES, Iowa — Joe Biden spoke of his connection to black voters at an NAACP event Sunday afternoon and claimed his “political identity” was molded by minorities in his home state of Delaware.

“I have a lot of black support because that’s where I come from. I was raised in the black church, politically, not a joke,” the former vice president said in Des Moines. “When I got into politics, I was the only white guy working on the east side, in the projects, because these were the guys I grew up with. These were the guys I worked with.”

Biden addressed a packed room of roughly 100 people, mostly white, at a minority outreach organization called Urban Dreams. Although he appeared roughly 30 minutes after his start, attendees continued trickling in before he addressed the crowd.

He spoke extensively on his consistent support from black Democrats, which a number of polls show back him by double-digits over his rivals. That consistent support, Biden said, was because of his decades-long relationship with black voters that started when he was a city council member in Wilmington, Delaware. During his time as a local politician, Biden said he would “go to a black church after regular mass every Sunday.”

He was raised Catholic in Scranton, PA. Most of the Catholics there would be white.

That Joe, he ia the life of the party and will just say anything that comes to his, seemingly, always intoxicated mind.

Next up: “I was raised to be half homosexual and transgender.”

It’s true.

Heck, I WAS black until I was 18. From about 11 to 18.

I consider it a learning experience.

He’s a nut.

I think he’s confusing himself with Steve Martin’s character in The Jerk... “I was born a poor black child.”

Is he giving a Steve Martin skit (”I was raised a poor black child”)? Afterall, it was from the movie “The Jerk”.

Joe Biden invented the internet (No wait! That was Al Gore). Joe Biden was for the War (when it was popular) but was also against the War (When it was unpopular). Joe Biden is a supporter of women (and a groper) and especially little girls (he’s a sniffer). And if YOU don’t support Joe it’s because you’re prejudiced against old people who have mental cognizance problems and that’s wrong.
