Biden leaves viewers stunned in teachers speech: 'She was 12, I was 30'

President Biden shocked viewers of his Friday speech to teachers when he recognized an audience member and told the crowd, “She was 12, I was 30.”

Biden lit up social media with the confounding and seemingly inappropriate aside. He did not say what he did when he was 30 and the woman was a preteen.

“You gotta say hi to me,” Biden said mid-speech at the National Education Association headquarters in DC. “We go back a long way. She was 12, I was 30. But anyway, this woman helped me get an awful lot done.”

The look of disgust on the faces of the woman behind him say it all.

I didn't see any photo like that and according to the article...
The audience of teachers and union members laughed and cheered at the bawdy remark.

The Post doesn't like Biden so I expect them to take the remark the worst way possible.
But truth be known we don't know what he was referring to. In fact, he may have meant she was 30 and he was 12. Who knows?

you think he was speaking to a 98 year old woman? That is how old she would have to be if she was 30 when Joe was 12.

Good grief.

It's possible he has dementia. I only wish our leader the best.

Remember that he's been inserting his foot into his mouth his entire political career.

I don't get it... He said how old each of them was when they met... What are we raging about?

It reminds us of this. Along with the other times - it creeps people out.

What’s funny is that it wouldn’t have mattered what Democrat won the election. They would have been demonized the same. I can’t imagine myself ever being so simple minded to think that everyone in a broad group is exactly the same…

Was he talking about his daughter he showered with?

The utterly innocuous statement is just an emotional trigger. Okay, fair enough.
Just put this in context. How would you respond if someone was giving a speech to a high school about college opportunities? Then, out of nowhere, he says that he had no idea she was underage when we met, but she was worth it. Then you go to bat for that guy by telling people on a forum that it was a "completely innocuous statement is just an emotional trigger." I assume you will not see how this makes you look.

I don't think this is the same context at all
Do you find the following sentence X rated
I was a groomsman at a wedding when I was 35 and I met a flower girl who was 14 knew more about the wedding than I did it was kind of embarrassing.
