[questionseverything]

I am so out of the loop

[world wide wally]

1. A, B, and C ?

[RockRaven]

2. LMGTFY

[TreasonousBastard]

4. Why is this thread in the Primaries forum?

Did this arise on the campaign trail?

[questionseverything]

6. yes joe biden was asked and said , 3

[George II]

29. He said AT LEAST three. It was a stupid question designed to catch Biden....

Only three "media" outlets reported on it - NY Post, Daily Wire, and TheBlaze, and only two tweets from right wingers Charlie Kirk and Ryan Saavedra (from Daily Wire)

But Biden didn't bite, after he said "at least three" he added "don't play games with me kid!"

That this is now being made an "issue" on DU is disappointing, to say the least.

[elleng]

32. "don't play games with me kid!"

I'll remember this!

[BannonsLiver]

35. the person who asked the questions is a purity troll wack job.

Who immediately forwarded the video to RW media outlets and twitter personalities. Tells you all you need to know.

[George II]

38. They all used the same term, he "forcefully grabbed" her arm, which is bullshit.

[jberryhill]

5. Father, Son and Holy Ghost

[JenniferJuniper]

8. They caught the last train for the coast

[crazytown]

41. And they were singing

[zackymilly]

42. Bye bye...

[zackymilly]

43. I picture Biden in a W.C. Fields' voice. "Go away kid, you bother me." n/t

[JenniferJuniper]

46. Miss American Pie...

[bigtree]

7. "don't play games with me, kid"

...here's looking at you.

[questionseverything]

10. the whole thing was a set up by a right wing group but

why does he have to fall for it

and they have him on video grabbing her arm





full disclosure, I think harris is completely un electable but you do have the prettiest yard I have ever seen

[bigtree]

11. silly to frame this on how 'electable' you think Harris is

...Biden seems a bit overconfident in these exchanges.

Of course, it was a setup question (saw one account where she was identified as 'conservative'). Maybe a more reflective, thoughtful approach would suit better in these ambush situations. Off the cuff doesn't seem to be working for Joe like it did with that right-wing reporter.

[questionseverything]

15. i just said that about harris because i know you are supportting her

biden needs to stop and think sometimes...sometimes no reply might be better

I think we desperately need to defeat trump and with a new problem everyday with biden, I am not encouraged



a few days ago i saw a sound bite about dems coming to take your guns and he was like heck yes about ak47s...omg that will not fly here in central illinois and for sure not the swing states of wisconsin,blah blah blah

[bigtree]

16. he should be fine

...it's an internet trifle.

People tend to judge good guys like Joe, more severely than they do bad actors like Trump. It's because we expect the bad guys to be bad guys, stupid people to do and say stupid things. But when a good, smart person says something amiss, people react like they stabbed someone in the eye. It's a challenge.

[questionseverything]

26. that is exactly the problem

dems have to be perfect, while repubs will fall in line after any sub human with an r after their name

[George II]

30. He handled it perfectly, and that video doesn't show him "forcefully grab her". It was a RW setup..

that he didn't fall for.

[hlthe2b]

9. This seems like an inciting kind of question. Was it asked of candidates?

I'm reminded (as I think should others), that times change and sometimes quickly, but it takes a while for everyone to catch up--no matter how well-intentioned they might be.

I can recall my own Mother (raised in a very tiny rural farm town and thus isolating environment) first experiencing someone who was transgendered. As kind and tolerant a woman as you can imagine, it still took her time to process. My sister and I might have been a bit amused at the episode, but would never have been unkind enough to mock her earnest attempt to understand.

And, I don't just say this with respect to the two oldest candidates.

[questionseverything]

12. it was asked of biden, i should of just googled it i guess but du ussually gives me a quick answer

I am just not sure how some of this is gonna play in the midwest

[hlthe2b]

13. I have no problem with your posting; just wondered why it would have come up with candidates.

[pnwmom]

20. Someone from a rightwing group asked him that, when he was walking through a crowd. n/t

[FreeState]

14. There are way more than 3 n/t

[pnwmom]

21. He said at least 3. n/t

[Tipperary]

17. What is this about?

Confused, sorry.

[questionseverything]

18. i saw it this morning on c span

https://nypost.com/2019/08/10/joe-biden-claims-there-are-at-least-3-genders-during-iowa-campaign-stop-blows-up-at-college-student/

[Tipperary]

22. Oh geez, they still call females "co-eds?"

Unreal.

She looks like quite the snowflake to me. No

[dsc]

24. I'm supposed to be outraged by this?

First the person who made the video can't even correctly tell us what he said, she misquoted him all three times, I don't see him grabbing her and by no means did he blow up at her.

[questionseverything]

27. no one here at du is going to be the intended audience

n/t

[George II]

31. The only reports of it that I've seen are from RWers NY Post, Daily Wire, and TheBlaze.

[BannonsLiver]

36. That's because those who orchestrated the set up question immediately forwarded it to those sites.

And it has made its way here, where it is eaten up like candy by those who hate Biden.

[pnwmom]

19. Male, female, and Intersex.

I'm guessing that's what he's meant when he said "at least three," and it makes sense.

There ARE some people with genitals that don't match their DNA, and others with genitals of both sexes.

[questionseverything]

23. yes post #2 had the info

like I said , I am just out of the loop

[dweller]

25. i count male female and nonya

beeswax...


✌🏼

[questionseverything]

28. lol...again i am showing my age but

I think that's a good answer

[Politicub]

33. I thought it was, too

He handled the troll quite deftly imho.

[Kilgore]

34. There are 58 genders

According to Facebook........

https://abcnews.go.comhttp//abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2014/02/heres-a-list-of-58-gender-options-for-facebook-users

[Hekate]

37. Answer: Whose business is it?

I guess candidates on our side have to be ready for all kinds of gotcha questions from our "friends."

[George II]

39. Probably preying on his devout Catholic beliefs.

[Hekate]

48. Well, as Pope Francis notably said, "Who am I to judge?" Joe Biden is a mensch...

...who keeps his nose out of other people's business, unlike, say, Mike Pence.

[Sapient Donkey]

40. I assumed Biden was thinking male, female, and intersex. Maybe even he was thinking non-binary.

I dunno, either way that's a tough question for anyone to answer. Mostly because there doesn't seem to be any consensus. In this case it's a bullshit question to begin with, and someone will always disagree with any response. They were just trying to bait him, obviously. He of course knew that based on his other response about not messing with him. I am assuming their goal was to get him to anything, and then let the internet rage take it from there.

[DavidDvorkin]

44. He called the reporter "kid"???!!!

OMG!!! That is, like, totes disqualifying!!!!

[BannonsLiver]

45. The "reporter" is an activist.

Not a journalist. And the "activist" immediately forwarded the video to RW media outlets and personalities on Twitter.

[DavidDvorkin]

49. Not surprising.

[Iggo]

47. This, That, and The Other.
