Joe Biden says his childhood experience playing ball with black kids 'was a great education [...] like The Green Mile' [video]

Despite all the lids his team has called, campaigning really seems to be taking its toll on Joe Biden.

In Delaware today, Biden mixed up his granddaughters Natalie and Finnegan, introduced one of them as his late son Beau Biden, and thanked voters for electing Beau Biden to the Senate, despite the fact that they did no such thing.

And then there was this:

Biden: "I had a job with a nice country club kind of pool as a lifeguard .. I played ball with a lot of great black athletes but I didn’t know them. I mean, we knew each other. They were friends. But I didn’t know them. And it was a great education. It was like the Green Mile." pic.twitter.com/l5CeRN9Lue

We’re uncomfortable. Is anyone else uncomfortable?

Is Joe Biden saying he killed a dude with an electric chair after the guy healed his bladder problems? https://t.co/CbppauUeZJ

My god this is no longer amusing. This is now a 15 car pileup on the expressway with news choppers overhead.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record:

This is just sad.
