But of course the event couldn’t go by without Joe Biden saying something Joe Biden-ish:

Was that reminder necessary coming from Joe Biden?

@markknoller I'm surprised he didn't say, "Math is normally so hard for girls."

@markknoller Oh dear…please keep the VP away from these girls! With his constant slip of the tongue, he may scar them for life!
