Emerging story

Many social media recently shared a clip of former Vice President Joe Biden speaking to a gathering of military personnel. This clip was picked out of this speech from 2016, during the Obama Administration.

Biden made a statement complimenting his own judgement in his choice of wife, and his promotion of an air force officer (Lieutenant Johnson), before saying: “Clap for that you stupid bastards, come on now. Man you all are a dull bunch, must be slow here man.”

Some on social media and on conservative news-outlets have used this clip as a counter to criticisms levied against President Trump for allegedly calling wounded soldiers “losers.”
