‘They’ll shoot me!’ Joe Biden slammed for ‘sick’ joke in Kenosha after police shooting "Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has been slammed for insensitivity after he joked “they’ll shoot me” at a community event called to discuss the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
"Long before he hit the 2020 campaign trail, Biden had a reputation as a gaffe machine. His latest clanger, though, left pundits groaning.
"Speaking at a community meeting in Kenosha on Thursday, Biden explained his tax plan to voters, promising not to raise rates for low- and middle-income Americans, and vowing to slap the country’s biggest corporations with tax hikes. Wrapping up his spiel on corporate
tax, Biden quipped: “I’m not gonna lay it out for you. I won’t now because they’ll shoot me.”
. . .
"Ill-advised jokes weren’t the only snafus the former vice-president’s trip generated though. When an audience member took the stand to question the Democrat, she opened her statement by saying that she’d be going off a “script” she held in her hand. The soundbite fueled speculation that Biden’s team vetted audience members before the questions-and-answers session, and only approved scripted questions."
