    Biden’s reputation for gaffes is something you clearly weren’t aware of:

    The remark revived Biden’s reputation for gaffes.[227][221][228]

    Those sources are from 2009.

    Journalist and TV anchor Wolf Blitzer has called Biden loquacious;[692] journalist Mark Bowden has said that he is famous for “talking too much”, leaning in close “like an old pal with something urgent to tell you”.[298] He often deviates from prepared remarks[693] and sometimes “puts his foot in his mouth”.[169][694][695] Biden has a reputation for being prone to gaffes[696] and in 2018 called himself “a gaffe machine”.[697][698] The New York Times wrote that Biden’s “weak filters make him capable of blurting out pretty much anything.”[169]

    Now you do.

      No we are aware. We’re not kids. This is not the same man we voted for in 2008, 2012, and 2020.

      Fantastic quality for a man in his 80s running for President.

      And it’s worse. This is not normal. We won’t win pretending it’s normal.
