Joe Biden’s Team Defends Unearthed Clip Showing Him Jokingly Calling American Troops ‘Stupid Bastards’ – By Kristine Lofgren (Inquisitr) / Sept 26 2020
A clip of former Vice President Joe Biden emerged from 2016 showing him jokingly referring to the American troops assembled in the crowd as “stupid bastards” and chiding them for being “dull.” After facing criticism for the video, Biden’s campaign defended the clip, saying it was done in jest and that troops laughed at his teasing, as The Daily Beast reported.
Biden was speaking with U.S. soldiers in Abu Dhabi while acting as vice president in 2016 when he joked that he had good judgment for marrying his wife, Jill Biden, and for appointing the academy’s leader. He then urged the crowd to “clap for that, you stupid bastards.”
