Joe Biden apologized for calling the impeachment of Bill Clinton a “partisan lynching” but somehow made things worse for himself after admitting he just says thing he doesn’t really mean:

This wasn’t the right word to use and I’m sorry about that. Trump on the other hand chose his words deliberately today in his use of the word lynching and continues to stoke racial divides in this country daily. https://t.co/mHfFC8HluZ — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) October 23, 2019

Does he thinks this helps?

A weird apology. Biden implies his use of the term "lynching" in 1998 wasn't deliberate. https://t.co/KMAcW5ao0q — Chuck Ross (@ChuckRossDC) October 23, 2019

Maybe Biden can explain every other Dem using the phrase?
