US senator and Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden has apparently landed in hot water after making a rather colorful remark about a certain category of American voters.
During an interview on “The Breakfast Club” radio show, Biden told host Charlamagne the God that “if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black”.
As Fox News points out, Biden made this remark while going into “a rapid-fire defense of his record with the black community”, and it wasn't immediately clear whether he was referring to the host or to the black community in general.
Nevertheless, the interview ended on "a mutually positive note", the media outlet adds.
Quite a few social media users, however, did not seem all that pleased with Biden's choice of words.
And while Biden's campaign adviser Symone Sanders claimed that his remark was in fact a joke, a number of people appeared unconvinced by her reasoning.
