Joe Biden has said a whole lot of things over the years. democrats have a short and selective memory, so it would be a good exercise to recap some of his more entertaining moments during the last few decades
Joe Biden said John Bolton is a liar
Here's Joe Biden calling John Bolton a liar & says no Senator would even hire staffers if they were like Bolton.
"Well, I don't want my lawyer and I don't want any lawyer saying something to help my case by lying, deliberately lying about my opponent." https://t.co/KXvtFulbGq pic.twitter.com/VPZLZfPWQl

Joe Biden said Bill Barr was "one of the best [AGs] I have ever worked with."
Joe Biden's handler @Kbeds says she doesn't view Attorney General Bill Barr as credible.
Biden himself said Barr is a heck of an honorable guy & who negotiates in good faith.

Joe Biden said the American people are "stupid"
Several weeks after my meeting I was told that a meeting did take place in Delaware, and soon thereafter, I was informed that the Senator had removed his name from the list of sponsors. I assumed that was the end of the matter.Joe Biden said he didn't want his kids to grow up in a "racial jungle" in regards to desegregation.However, that was not the case with Biden. I soon received a phone call that the Senator wanted to see me. I went to his office and witnessed something I had not seen in my nearly two decades on Capitol Hill.
Once I sat down, Biden got up and started to yell at me. He bellowed you are going to lose this issue. You are going to lose this issue because the Balanced Budget Constitutional Amendment sounds good and the American people are stupid and will support anything that sounds good.
Joe Biden said "Well I tell you what, If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black."
Joe Biden said he wants to China to be an integral part of the US
In order to cement this robust partnership, we have to go beyond close ties between Washington and Beijing, which were working on every day, go beyond it to include all levels of government, go beyond it to include classrooms and laboratories, athletic fields and boardrooms.IOW, let China control the US.
More recently Joe Biden tried to say....something

Immediately afterwards the left goes full-blown revolution and attempts to start a race war. End result - surprise! Not another word about Biden’s comment in the press.
Snopes:
Origin:
In the 1970s, then-Sen. Joe Biden was a vocal opponent of busing as a means for desegregating public schools. And that record haunts him in his bid to secure the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
In early March 2020, readers asked Snopes to verify a quote in 1977 in which Biden, then a U.S. senator representing Delaware, allegedly expressed fear that desegregation, if not done in an orderly way, could result in his children growing up in a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point.
The quote was initially uncovered by Daria Roithmayr, a law professor at the University of Southern California (USC), in July 2019. But as Biden emerged from Super Tuesday on March 3, 2020, as a potential front-runner for the nomination, news stories containing the quote circulated anew.
Among stories readers widely shared was a July 15, 2019, Business Insider story that reported, Former Vice President Joe Biden is facing increased scrutiny over his record on busing and racial issues, and this week old comments resurfaced in which he said, in 1977, that busing for the purpose of desegregation would cause his children to grow up in a racial jungle.
The quote is accurate as reported and reads in full:
Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point. We have got to make some move on this.
We contacted the Biden campaign for comment but received no response in time for publication.
Biden made the remark in 1977 during a hearing about busing school children in order to desegregate public schools. As The New York Times reported in a detailed delineation of Bidens history with busing, Biden at the time had emerged as the Democratic partys crusader against busing, taking the same side as segregationists. Biden joined up with Jesse Helms, the segregationist senator from North Carolina, to offer his own anti-busing amendment to that years education spending bill. Bidens advocacy made it safe for other Democrats to oppose busing, The Times reported.
The Times further reported that Biden sided with Helms in 1975 when the latter proposed to strip the federal governments power to withhold funding from school districts that refused to comply with racial-equality measures:
Under the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, the federal Department of Health, Education and Welfare had a powerful tool to fight school segregation: It could withhold funding from districts that refused to integrate and integration effectively meant busing. Mr. Helms wanted to strip the agency of that power.
As Mr. Biden rose on the Senate floor in September 1975 to embrace that approach, Mr. Helms wryly welcomed him to the ranks of the enlightened. Mr. Biden objected to the education department mandating desegregation absent a court order, and warned of white flight to the suburbs and even racial unrest. Mr. Helmss amendment, which would have also barred the education department from collecting data about the race of students or teachers, failed. But a slightly narrower measure written by Mr. Biden, which prevented schools from using federal dollars to assign teachers or students by race, passed, 50-43.
Roithmayr told us via email that busing, along with affirmative action, were viewed by those trying to achieve desegregation of schools after Brown v. Board of Education as effective tools. That was because they were linked to the possibility of big structural change, change that didnt require bigger overhaul, like desegregating cities and restructuring financing for public school education. I suppose expediency is one way to describe it, but effective and pragmatic might be another way.
Because Biden made the remark about a racial jungle, we rate this claim as a Correct Attribution.
