Former President Barack Obama just made an unfortunate gaffe about President Joe Biden’s mental state while campaigning in Georgia with incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) ahead of next week’s Senate runoff election against GOP challenger Herschel Walker.
Why isn’t the actual Biden campaigning for Warnock this week? Well, the reverend won’t say why he doesn’t want Biden on the campaign trail, but his absence was highlighted when Obama made a comparison between Walker and a “crazy” avuncular character most American families seem to have.
“We all know some folks in our lives, who we don’t wish them ill will. They say crazy stuff and we’re all like, ‘Well, Uncle Joe, you know what happened to him,’” Obama said to laughs from the audience. “They’re part of the family, but you don’t give them serious responsibilities.”
