Speech Issues

Joe Biden's recent speeches have sparked controversy due to their incoherence and factual inaccuracies. Ben Shapiro highlights Biden's mix-up of political figures and foundational documents, questioning his cognitive abilities. Shapiro sarcastically remarks on Biden's confusion between the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, suggesting Biden's age as a factor:

Joe Biden also seems not to know the difference between the constitution and the Declaration of Independence, which, I mean, you expect him to know that. I mean, he was actually alive for the writing of both of those.

Shapiro also criticizes the media's praise of Biden, contrasting it with his declining approval ratings and perceived lack of coherence 1 2.

   

Racial Remarks

Joe Biden's comments have also been criticized for their racial insensitivity. Shapiro points out Biden's casual remarks about race, which he argues would have led to severe backlash if made by a Republican. He cites Biden's anecdote about working in a predominantly black area and associating it with crime and basketball, questioning the implications of such stereotypes:

Joe Biden is the chief of equity, right? He's captain equity over here. But he just drops, like, casually racist stories that would get any republican politician canceled in just a heartbeat.

Shapiro further criticizes Biden's rhetoric on gun control, interpreting it as a threat to American citizens 3.
