Does this count as a gaffe? Maybe not. But it sure is a dumb thing to say.
From Joe Biden on the campaign trail yesterday lamenting that he didn’t raise at least one of his kids as a Republican so they could’ve made the big bucks:
Mentioning that his daughter is a social worker, @JoeBiden pauses and jokes, "I tell you what, I wish I had raised one Republican, they’d make some real money," as the audience laughs.

Did he forget Hunter is his son?

Real money like $83,333 a month to sit on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas company?

Get it? It's funny because his son got a million dollars a year for five years to be on the Burisma board. https://t.co/dA6s7a6ULp

Oh, and Joe and Jill Biden aren’t exactly paupers:
"Joe and Jill Biden reported earning $15.6 million from book deals and speaking engagements since leaving the White House" #RealMoney https://t.co/KhbGJVW9rj https://t.co/ldyDxxo5OM
