Biden Calls New York ‘Sh*tty’ Instead of ‘City’

‘You’re phasing this in, in the state of New York ... but you’re all going to end up with a $15 minimum wage, quicker in New York, a high-cost wage sh*tty’

Today at a rally celebrating New York's impending hike in the minimum wage, Vice President Biden mistakenly referred to New York City as "shitty."

"And so you’re phasing this in, in the state of New York," Biden said. "Different parts of the state have different capacities. But you're all going to end up with a $15 minimum wage -- quicker in New York, a high-cost wage sh*tty, as you phase it in the rest of the country."
