“He’s causing a lot of frustration and even pain with his words,” the senator said
“And this is a bad culture, where you can’t admit mistakes, where you can’t speak to your vulnerabilities and your imperfections. We all have them. But when it comes to difficult issues with race, if you can’t talk openly and honestly about your own development on these issues, I think it’s very hard to lead our country forward, so that we actually can deal with our past and rise to a better common cause and common future,” Booker said.
He continued, “And we have one destiny in this nation. And right now, the vice president, to me, is not doing a good job at bringing folks together. In fact, and I’ve heard this from people all around the country. He’s causing a lot of frustration and even pain with his words.” Biden has taken a lot of heat of late, as all front-runners do. But thus far, he hasn’t seemed adept at putting out fires. Maybe he is stubborn, and that may turn out to hurt him. Or, maybe Biden is harkening back to what an awful primary candidate he’s been in the past and has decided to take a page out of Trump’s book: apologize for nothing, because apologizing makes you look weak. Polls due out next week that will measure reactions to this week’s debates could give us some clues.
