Biden defends himself when he is pressed by Colbert about gaffes

Former Vice President Joe Biden was urged by the host of the show "Late Show", Stephen Colbert, on Wednesday night, about his series of goofings, pointing out that he was not mistaken, like "locking up children in cages at the border".

Colbert began by listing some of Biden's most recent remarks, especially when he confused New Hampshire for Vermont, and said that Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. had been murdered at the "end." of the seventies ". he was not "going crazy."

"Follow up question … are you going crazy?" Colbert asked.

"Look, the reason I came to the Jimmy Kimmel Show is because I'm not," Biden joked.

Biden said it was "fair" to take on political personalities "for whatever", but tried to differentiate the fact that his gaffes were not about a "question of background". He then cited the example of his recent military history, a blunder.

"Well, they say that the army branch was wrong, that the date was wrong and that the act for which he was rewarded was wrong and that the medal was wrong," replied Colbert. "What position did you hold at the time? These were all checked and you said the details mattered little or nothing."

"That's the market because I was not talking about myself," said Biden, pointing out that he was trying to praise the courage of those who were in the military. "It's a different thing to say when we talk about honoring bravery or sacrifice or what others have experienced and that the essence is quite true, the fact that I said I was Vice-President … I'm not sure it's relevant, but I'm not mistaken, like, you know, we should lock children in cages at the border.

The "Late Show" then grilled the 2020 favorite when he said in an interview that "the details are irrelevant".

"Some details are relevant," said Colbert, "because that's where the devil lies – in the details."

"The devil lives in the details if the details you're talking about could affect the outcome of something that's about to happen or should happen," Biden retorted.
