This is no longer funny. Democrat leadership is being cruel to let this continue. Biden has earned the country’s respect, and we should return it. https://t.co/uDiLfXQu1q

I was at the gym listening to @CHAPOTRAPHOUSE give a preview of what it would sound like for Joe Biden and Donald Trump to square off in a debate and it made me laugh so hard I almost injured myself on an exercise machine but also I despair https://t.co/f5Sl3MpHV2

Meet Joe, he’s a Joe, always been a Joe, and wants to be a Joe President if Joe Americans will treat him as a Joe and listen to Joe’s wife and just swallow hard and give Joe the Joe, er uh, the Job. And remember: Contact him at Joe30330 or something like that. https://t.co/xZtVNbIjOJ

The 76-year-old has repeatedly had issues with speaking and making gaffes.
This month, he said that “Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids,” adding, “wealthy kids, white kids, Asian kids.”
He also incorrectly claimed that he was still vice president during the 2018 Parkland shooting, and said that Americans need to “choose truth over facts.”
President Trump reportedly mocked Biden for his gaffes and strange statements in February, saying, “Biden was never very smart. He was a terrible student. His gaffes are unbelievable.”
“When I say something that you might think is a gaffe, it’s on purpose; it’s not a gaffe. When Biden says something dumb, it’s because he’s dumb.” (RELATED: Biden: ‘I Think I’m The Most Qualified To Be President’)
Despite his frequent gaffes, Biden continues to lead the race for the Democratic nomination. In Iowa this week, Biden promised to make Trump “feel the pain.”
