This is not a comprehensive list of Joe Biden’s gaffes, controversial positions, and garbled nonsense because just that last category alone would take several thousand more words (that is not an exaggeration), but this gives you the gist of what Joe Biden is like in quotes.

24) “And by the way, you know, I’d sit on the stand and it’d get hot. I got hairy legs that turn blonde in the sun.

And you wanna check my shape, let’s do push-ups together, man. Let’s run, let’s do whatever you wanna do. Let’s take an IQ test. Look, fat, look. Here’s the deal. Any other questions?” — To yet another voter Joe Biden was upset with.

29) “I have incredibly good judgment. One, I married Jill. And two, I appointed Johnson to the academy. I just want you to know that. Clap for that, you stupid b*****ds.  Come on, man.
