CNN Hosts Mock Joe Biden’s ‘Trifecta’ of Gaffes

Vice President Joe Biden managed to offend just about everyone yesterday on his visit to Iowa.

During the 24-hour trip, Biden offended Jews by using the term “Shylock,” referencing William Shakespeare’s villainous Jewish moneylender from The Merchant of Venice.

Biden later offended Asian-Americans when he used “the Orient” to describe Asia.

The vice president also insinuated that U.S. ground troops may be used to fight the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS or ISIL), a staunch contradiction to the White House’s strategy to “degrade and destroy” the extremists with an international coalition.
