Talking silver while aiming for gold isn't the best idea during the closely watched Democratic race, but former vice president Joe Biden did just that, downgrading his political ambitions from president to... senator.
Known for a series of gaffes, some of which have been branded disturbingly weird, Biden produced a new one while trying to win public sympathy in South Carolina. While the opening part of his outburst sounded like conventional self-promotion at first, the rest raised more than a few eyebrows.
"I'm Joe Biden, I'm a Democrat candidate for the United States Senate. Look me over, if you like what you see, help out, if not, vote for the other Biden," he exclaimed.
"My name is Joe Biden, I'm a Democratic candidate for the United States Senate."This is beyond embarrassing at this point. His friends & family are doing him a huge disservice by allowing him to continually make a fool of himself on the campaign trail.pic.twitter.com/RpgsZxG4HU
