CBS and ABC continued ignoring former Vice President Joe Biden’s gaffes he made Thursday while on the campaign trail, one being similar to a racist comment he made in the past about President Obama. NBC’s Today show was the only network to mention this particular gaffe, and they only covered it so they could spin it as President Trump’s fault.

If Joe Biden was a Republican the media would be dedicating round-the-clock news coverage focused on his mental health

On Today Friday morning, MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell was eager to defend Biden after he suggested that minority kids weren’t as smart as white kids, in comments at the Iowa State Fair, Thursday. Mitchell brushed off the controversial comments as a result of tiredness “after a long day and night.” She sneered any attention brought to them was the fault of Trump’s team:

“Joe Biden, after a widely praised speech against the president 24 hours ago, is now facing a Trump campaign counter-attack, seizing on a few words on the campaign trail,” she whined.

After playing Biden’s comments, Mitchell complained that Trump’s team pounced on the comment, and didn’t include what Biden added, afterwards: “The Trump campaign quickly seizing on the white kids comment. Rapid response director Andrew Clark tweeting out a video clip that notably did not include the full remarks,” she sneered.

Right after this Mitchell praised Biden “fighting back” against a Breitbart reporter who “incorrectly” called out the Democrat for continuing to spread the media’s lie that Trump never condemned the white supremacists at Charlottesville. She also touted his high poll numbers.

Mitchell whining about Trump’s team only tweeting out the first part of Biden’s comment, is so disingenuous since that is exactly what the media has done with Trump’s Charlottesville comments for the past two years. Ironically, which Mitchell denies in this very same report.

All three networks ignored the Biden gaffes in their evening broadcasts last night as well. Biden is not exactly known for his eloquence and frequently makes embarrassing gaffes that get ignored or excused by the media.
