Vice Gaffe-r
Vice President Joe Biden did not have a good week. Last Tuesday, he used what is often recognized as an anti-Semitic slur to refer to people who gave bad loans to members of the military. On Wednesday, he referred to Asia as the now déclassé “Orient” and said “we’ll determine” whether the United States would send ground forces to fight ISIS (when President Obama has ruled out ground troops).
Finally, on Friday, he spoke favorably about a former disgraced senator, Bob Packwood, R-Ore., who once worked with Democrats on the minimum wage issue. Packwood, who resigned in 1995 after the Senate Ethics Committee unanimously voted to expel him for sexual and official misconduct, had been accused in committee documents of misconduct with 19 women.
Biden’s latest remarks, ironically and unfortunately, came in front of the Democratic National Committee’s Women’s Leadership Forum.
