"The comments were part of a longer statement Biden made during a roundtable event with veterans in Tampa, Florida on September 15.
Biden was discussing the COVID-19 pandemic and the role minorities have played in providing essential services since the virus hit."
"They're saying, 'Jeez,the reason I was able to stay sequestered in my home is because some Black woman was able to stack the grocery shelf. Or I got a young Hispanic out there, these DREAMers are out there, 60,000 of them acting as first responders and nurses and docs'," he said.
"Or all of a sudden people are realizing, 'My Lord, these people have done so much. Not just Black, white, across the board, have done so much for me. We can do this. We can get things done.' And I think they're ready."
It is true that Joe Biden said that quote, but the viral clip of the full speech removes important context and falsely implies the former vice president made racially insensitive remarks.
