As Twitchy told you last night, Joe Biden had another one of his patented “slip-ups” when he told Iowans that “poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids”:

Joe Biden slip-up in Iowa tonight. "Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids." Yikes…have fun mitigating that one. pic.twitter.com/m2VxZbnFHF — Andrew Clark (@AndrewHClark) August 9, 2019

Since then, we’ve all been waiting with bated breath to see how he’d try to spin his way out of that one. And now we have our answer:

UPDATED w/ a statement from Biden’s campaign:

“The Trump campaign posting the video without the vice president’s immediate correction is patently disingenuous.”https://t.co/LFWwbaOHm9 — Emma Kinery (@EmmaKinery) August 9, 2019

“It’s no coincidence this comes days after Joe Biden laid out how this president emboldens white nationalism and embraces racism” continues Kate Bedingfield, Biden’s deputy campaign managerhttps://t.co/LFWwbax6uB — Emma Kinery (@EmmaKinery) August 9, 2019

Oh, come on, Team Biden. Surely even you guys can do better than that.

Nice try??? — jennydee (@jenndee19) August 9, 2019

Lol of course he's trying to blame Trump for this https://t.co/AbYucN10w0 — Comfortably Smug (@ComfortablySmug) August 9, 2019

Yep trumps fault ???? — Terri Lynn (@TerriLy75642135) August 9, 2019

Apparently even Joe Biden's gaffs are Trump's fault — Tgordon Shumway (@ShumwayTgordon) August 9, 2019

It actually wasn’t immediate like the wrong word had accidentally slipped from his mouth. It was more of a momentary pause, realized what I just said, let me add on a few more and hope no one noticed. Like others have said, his mind automatically equated “rich” with “white” — Ramzi Dakour ? (@RDakour) August 9, 2019

Our tweet of the video did, in fact, include Biden’s “immediate correction.” They can't even get their response right. No amount of "immediate corrections" can change the fact that "slip ups" like this are part of a proven pattern for Joe Biden. https://t.co/eHyrOJ5HV5 — Andrew Clark (@AndrewHClark) August 9, 2019

Joe Biden can’t help but be Joe Biden.
