while giving a speech.
Joe Scarborough just said he'd done the same thing himself.
They both made the important point that Biden's story was lifting other people up, praising the troops, and not doing this to glorify himelf.
Historian Walter Isaacson is agreeing with them, and adding that he's talked to so many people who've conflated stories because "that's the way our memory works."
He adds, "What we know about Biden is that he CARES ABOUT THE TROOPS." And that's what's important.
Isaacson said that the fact that Biden does what others do, sometimes mixing up stories, makes him human.
Gene Robinson says that Biden should be more careful, but this isn't a big deal.
They're all making the point that Biden CONNECTS with people.
Isaacson really dislikes the media narrative where they're covering every tiny gaffe of Biden's so carefully.
He says the media is "making this into something it should not be."
