Julian Castro Defends Controversial Attack on Biden: ‘I Wasn’t Taking a Shot at His Age’

EXCERPT:

CASTRO: "“I wasn’t taking a shot at his age, I was taking a shot at the fact that he had just said the words 'Buy-in,' you would have to buy in. So I said, 'Look, you just said that you would have to buy in.' He said, 'No, I didn't.' I said, 'You know, I mean, did you forget that you just said that you would have to buy in?'"
REPORTER: "Yeah, right. 'Did you just forget what we said two seconds ago?'"
CASTRO: "Right. So what I'm saying is, when you read the transcript and you understand the health care policy and the meaning of that, the significance of that, the difference is that 10 million people would get left out under his plan. That's why that's so important. It’s not an attack on Vice President Biden. It’s not something about personality. It’s about the health care policy. That was my focus."
