Joe Biden has been in rare form over the past couple of days, even by his own standard for problematic statements.
On Wednesday, he spoke at the League of Conservation Voters’ annual Capitol Dinner. I don’t think there’s any question as to what his most problematic statement of the night was. This was one for the record books

“We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean,” Biden said bizarrely. Then he admitted when he “goes off script,” he gets into trouble. That says just how much they have to control him.
Then on Thursday, he spoke about getting rid of junk fees on tickets. I can’t think of any American for whom this is somehow a priority, yet he thinks this shows how he’s “giving Americans breathing room.” But Biden flipped out when he was asked about the bribery form referring to him as the “big guy.”
"Why did the Ukraine-FBI informant file refer to you as 'the Big Guy'?"

“Why did the Ukraine-FBI informant file refer to you as ‘the Big Guy’?” the reporter asked.
Biden shot back, “Why’d you ask such a dumb question?”
However, Biden wasn’t quite done for the day with his problematic remarks. He was hosting a screening for the movie, “Flamin’ Hot,” about the guy who claimed to have come up with the idea for Flaming Hot Cheetos. There are some issues with that contention including that the company disputes it. So naturally Biden features it at the White House.
All Biden had to do was say, “Hi everyone, hope you enjoy the movie.” But he couldn’t, he had to go all in on the pandering, and, in the process, he may have just topped his prior efforts to rip off ethnicities and groups. I think I’ve lost count at this point, but he’s been all kinds of things — he may be the only Catholic, Jewish, Puerto Rican, truck driver, civil rights activist, street fighter, and full professor that we’ve ever had. But on Thursday, he became everything, he was every immigrant, which was a pretty neat trick.

“I want you to know, Jill and I, we see you. We value you. We are indirectly a part of you because of our heritage, as well, in different ethnicities,” Biden claimed. “But when we came, we were not welcome.”
So now Joe is Mexican too, and every immigrant? Neither he nor Jill is an immigrant, he’s appropriating the stories of immigrants, and saying, “We were not welcome.” Yikes. He doesn’t seem to get that you can recognize people without trying to hijack who they are for yourself.
#GeorgeSantos has a lot of catching-up to do.

Biden also made up a stat.
BIDEN: "You realize that 26 out of every 100 in grades kindergarten through 12 speak Spanish? No, think about it! What in the hell—heck are we talking about here?"

“You realize that 26 out of every 100 in grades kindergarten through 12 speak Spanish?” Biden claimed with a Joker-like grin. “No, think about it! What in the hell—heck are we talking about here?”
It’s a version of something that he’s said before and has been debunked by Politifact. In the past, he’s said 24 out of 100, and even that was not the case. He doesn’t seem to understand that being Hispanic doesn’t necessarily mean that you speak Spanish.
Then he got weird and made a cringeworthy crack about Eva Longoria who was a guest and the director of the movie. She’s also a long-time Democratic donor.

“We’ve known each other for a long time. She was 17, I was 40,” Biden said. Why is he always making comments like that? He made a weird comment in the past about a woman being 12 years old when he met her which was creepy beyond belief.
Some raised questions about his hug of Longoria as well, as to where his hands were, so we wanted to show you the full video, at about 14:34. She grabs his hands and moves them slightly. You can decide for yourself.
