'In no way did I mean to suggest the African American community is a monolith -- not by identity, not on issues, not at all.' Joe Biden seeks to clarify comment that Latino community is diverse, 'unlike the African American community.'
Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden sought Thursday night to limit the political damage after he said in an earlier interview that the Latino community in the United States was diverse,"unlike the African American community with notable exceptions."
In three tweets, Biden said he wanted to"clarify" his remarks, which President Donald Trump's campaign had seized on in its latest effort to undercut the former vice president's support among Black voters. "Earlier today, I made some comments about diversity in the African American and Latino communities that I want to clarify. In no way did I mean to suggest the African American community is a monolith -- not by identity, not on issues, not at all," Biden said.
