15% and proud of it

Does he remove his mask before putting foot in his mouth?

Biden urges unity, then denounces 15% of the country as no good people

“The words a president says matter. So when the president stands up and divides people all the time, you’re going to get the worst of us to come out. The worst in us all to come out,” Biden said during the event with Young Americans hosted by actor Don Cheadle, ABC News reported.

The US is an overwhelmingly “decent” nation ….but there are “10 to 15 percent of the people out there” who are “just not very good people,”

He just inspired a whole new revenue source for campaign Tee shirts and bumper stickers.

UPDATE: Thinking about it, Biden’s comments were more likely exquisitely crafted and not a slip-up. He and Hillary and their supporters probably all agree that at least half the population is comprised of deplorables, but Hillary admitted it and ended up alienating just enough voters to lose the election. Biden’s 15% were never going to vote for him anyway, so it’s a safe bet: he still scores points with his base even though he undercounts the hated untermensch — they know what he really means — and avoids offending the remaining 35% of the nogoodniks.
