Joe Biden’s Latest Gaffe ‘Disturbing,’ Exposes Leftist Elitism, Says Rob Smith

Joe Biden said that “there are probably anywhere from 10 to 15 percent of the people out there that are just not very good people,” while in attendance at an online event hosted by “The Shade Room” and moderated by actor Don Cheadle, according to Breitbart News.

Veteran and Turning Point USA Spokesperson Rob Smith argued the 2020 Democratic nominee Joe Biden is writing off a percentage of American voters because he — and the Democratic Party — believe they aren’t “good enough” to vote for them come November, Fox News reported.

Smith said Biden’s latest gaffe is a “pretty big deal.”

“And, we’re going to see, you know, gaffes like this happen over and over and over again,” Smith said. Joe Biden has always been a gaffe machine and this election cycle is not going to change this.”

“I think that it’s fundamentally a little disappointing and kind of shocking that you have a candidate for a major political party basically writing off millions of potential voters as ‘not very good people,'” Smith said.

“I don’t know if he is talking about [the]15 percent of Black voters [who] are not Black enough to vote for him. Because remember: he said that you are not Black if you don’t vote for Joe Biden,” he added.

“And, I think that his remarks are indicative of this kind of elitism that’s going on on the left and in the Democratic Party right now where they feel like there is a certain amount of the population that they have to lord over,” he continued. “Look at the difference between how they treated those business owners protesting for the right to open their businesses again compared to how they treated the protesters that were protesting against police brutality and what was going on over the past couple of weeks.”

“So, it’s very obvious that they think that a certain part of the population basically is…not good enough to vote for them and so that they need to lord over this population. I think it’s kind of disturbing and it’s not inspiring,” Smith concluded.

During the virtual event, Joe Biden, the 2020 presumptive Democratic nominee, spoke about his plans for the Biden administration, and how he plans to push for racial equality in office.

He also scrutinized President Trump, accusing him of dividing the country, and made sure to point out that when he becomes president, he will unify and heal.

“The words a president says matter, so when a president stands up and divides people all the time, you’re going to get the worst of us to come out,” Biden said during the exchange.

“Do we really think this is as good as we can be as a nation? I don’t think the vast majority of people think that,” he continued. “There are probably anywhere from 10 to 15 percent of the people out there that are just not very good people, but that’s not who we are. The vast majority of the people are decent, and we have to appeal to that and we have to unite people — bring them together. Bring them together.”

[I] “won’t traffic in fear and division.”

“I won’t fan the flames of hate.”

His thoughts echoed those of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 dismissal of “half of Trump’s supporters” as bigoted “deplorables” which subsequently became one of the most remembered quotes of her failed campaign.

Biden’s claim to be a peacemaker came just 24 hours after said he “won’t traffic in fear and division” in the wake of protests over the death of George Floyd.
