BREAKING NEWS – Tampa, Florida – Joe Biden has landed in hot water over a viral clip of him suggesting why people were able to quarantine during the coronavirus pandemic.
“They’re saying, ‘Jeez, the reason I was able to stay sequestered in my home is because some Black woman was able to stack the grocery shelf,'” Biden is heard saying in the clip.
The 10-second clip, which was originally shared on Sept. 29, was just a snippet of comments the Democratic nominee made during a Sept. 15 roundtable with veterans in Tampa, Fla.
Since the clip went viral, Biden defended his remark. “I did not say anything racist about black women,” he explained. “Because keep in mind, I was referring to them handling can goods, not cotton.”
