He didn't correct himself either Polybius Feb 2020 #21

See reply 23 about a gaffe of Warren's last week that she didn't correct. highplainsdem Feb 2020 #24

Last week Warren said BUILD Trump when she meant BEAT Trump. There's video of highplainsdem Feb 2020 #23

Build and beat sound similar Polybius Feb 2020 #27

Excuses, excuses. Biden might've been thinking about past Senate runs. His gaffe was no worse than highplainsdem Feb 2020 #28

It may be an excuse, but it's a great one Polybius Feb 2020 #32

Biden was telling a story about the time he ran for Senate, and was quoting himself Gothmog Feb 2020 #62

I saw that. It's disgusting how people distort things. nolabear Feb 2020 #64

Not true. The only distortion was that "he meant to do that" because he was story telling. thesquanderer Feb 2020 #70

I resent being called dishonest. nolabear Feb 2020 #90

I was calling Matthew Chapman's tweet dishonest. thesquanderer Feb 2020 #93

So where's the unedited video? Sunsky Feb 2020 #65

re: "Chapman is lying and the Reuters story is true. Sometimes it's ok to admit to an error. " thesquanderer Feb 2020 #69

here, Chapman is lying, there was no story being told, Biden simply misspoke Celerity Feb 2020 #85

Thanks for the video Sunsky Feb 2020 #96

yes, it is no big deal, I just do not like people (NOT you) trying to say things that are not true Celerity Feb 2020 #97

re: "Biden was telling a story about the time he ran for Senate, and was quoting himself" thesquanderer Feb 2020 #68

Biden was not telling a story, that is not true, he simply misspoke Celerity Feb 2020 #73

Then it's even more despicable treestar Feb 2020 #75

except there was no 'story', Chapman lied, the entire unedited video of it leading up to Celerity Feb 2020 #98

OH so what treestar Feb 2020 #74
