"Former Vice President Joe Biden told a crowd in Iowa on Thursday that 'poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids,' an awkward gaffe that came during a conversation about discrimination faced by low-income students."

"Biden was addressing his education plan, which would triple federal investments in low-income school districts across the country. Biden was calling for increasing the number of advanced placement classes in low-income schools and challenging students."

"His remarks prompted a stir on social media Thursday night, with many focusing on the equivalence he drew, whether intentionally or not, between poor and minority children...Earlier in the day, Biden had mixed up one of his standard lines while addressing a crowd at the Iowa State Fair, saying that Americans should 'choose truth over facts.'"

"It wasn't the only misstep of Biden's time in Iowa. He also accidentally referred to ex UK Prime Minister Theresa May as former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher before correcting himself, a Biden campaign aide told CNN Sunday."

"Joe Biden has been plagued by a seemingly unceasing parade of gaffes, from his embarrassing debate sign-off, to his praise of segregationist senators to his unwillingness to change his 'tactile' behavior despite all of the backlash he has acrued in the #MeToo era."

"There are legitimate questions about whether someone Biden’s age — he’ll be 78 at the start of the next presidential term — can handle the rigors of the presidency. But Biden made these kinds of embarrassing statements in his 60s and his 50s, and even his 40s. It’s not a product of age; it’s just who he is."

"Biden is on his third presidential campaign, after efforts that fizzled early in the campaigns of 1988 and 2008...both Harris and Booker have taken him to task for his role in crafting a 1994 federal crime bill, which they claim helped lead to the disproportionate incarceration of African-Americans."
