It’s been a while since Joe Biden has made an abhorrent gaffe now that President Donald Trump is in office, but he came back strong with his first post-presidency speech. Biden talked about “colored kids” earlier this week when the 82-year-old spoke in his first public remarks since leaving office. Biden’s offensive comment came as he was talking about his childhood move from Scranton, Pennsylvania, to Wilmington, Delaware. He said that before his family relocated to the First State, he’d “never seen hardly any black people.” “I was only going in fourth grade,” he said as he recalled his mother driving him to Catholic school in Wilmington. “And I remember seeing kids going by, at the time called ‘colored kids,’ on a bus go by — they never turned right to go to Claymont High School.” Biden said that learning that black children were not allowed to attend public school with white students “sparked my sense of outrage as a kid.” After he grabbed everyone’s attention with the uncomfortable use of “colored kids” Biden then went on to make the connection of school segregation to Social Security benefits. “Social Security is more than a government program. It’s a sacred promise,” Biden said before making the accusation that Republicans in Congress want to “cut and gut” the program that provides benefits to retired Americans. “Who the hell do they think they are?” an enraged Biden said before pulling back. “I will not go further. I’ll get in trouble,” he said. Biden didn’t refer to President Trump by name during his roughly 30-minute speech. Biden did refer to the fraud found in Social Security that have been made by Trump and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk. “Those 300-year-old folk getting that Social Security, I want to meet them,” Biden joked. “I’d like to figure out how they live that long.” “Hell of a thing, man. I’m looking for longevity.” According to the New York Post, “the speech got off to an awkward start, as Biden took the podium and spoke for several seconds as a Bruce Springsteen track — his introduction music — blared in the background, drowning out his opening lines. When he wrapped up his remarks, a wide-eyed Biden stood at the podium and looked at both ends of the stage before identifying the stairs, pointing at them, and making his exit.”
