Biden over the weekend made the statement that he recently got a call from Margaret Thatcher expressing concern over the Trump presidency.
The Iron Lady passed in 2013.

Yeah.... especially that one and that other old guy at the top of your polling.

If Trump did that, the media would talk about it for weeks and say it was reason for impeachment.

Hearing voices; wonder where they are coming from.
Poor uncle Joe
This gaffe serves to highlight media bias as much as joe's ability to gaffe.
Left leaning media makes no mention of it.
Right leaning media spins it the worst possible way.
Here is the comment: During the speech, Mr Biden said: “Margaret Thatcher – um, excuse me, Margaret Thatcher, Freudian slip. But I knew her too. The Prime Minister of Great Britain Theresa May.”
Mr Biden went on to claim Mrs May had called him to voice her concerns about US President Donald Trump.
He said Mrs May had asked him: “We still have a special relationship between the United States and England?"
Right leaning headlines say Biden claimed that Thatcher called him...he made no such statement. He dropped Thatcher's name, immediately corrected, and then said May had called him. Just a wee bit different than the headlines suggest.
Fox even claimed that he "eventually corrected himself." Eventually as in during the same breath...more like immediately.
Journalism has gone to s**te.

When you are as old as Biden, 6 years ago is recently.

Joe is a walking gaffe, a proven c***ter, and a functional moron. People have always cut him slack because he was always a seemingly “nice guy”. Of course, the “woke” movement has finally put an end to that b.s.

Elaine,
For fun you should look at one of those lists of Trump’s lies.....they include ALL items like this that he has said, along with his comments like “never anything like it”, “best ever”, etc.

To treat both sides fair, “He said Mrs May had asked him: “We still have a special relationship between the United States and England?"” was defined by Joe as meaning May was concerned about Trump!
If Trump had said it, it would have been added to his list of lies as Snopes can’t definitively say it was directed only at Trump.😎

That's not accurate. This class of Babylon fib (is it too soon to call the little ones fibs?) has a news cycle of three days max. The new lies just bump the old ones to the bottom of the page.
Even Mitt Romney's father shooting Kennedy didn't last a whole week.
No. 10,003 - "I'm a young vibrant man!"
