'Talk is cheap': Internet slams Joe Biden for saying 'they know where my head is' in response to Black voters' disenchantment

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: In a recent interview, President Joe Biden discussed his reelection campaign and the "disenchantment" of Black voters. 

Biden recently participated in an interview in Las Vegas with BET's Ed Gordon which will air on Wednesday night, July 17. In the last and third teaser clip that aired on 'CBS Mornings' on Wednesday morning, July 17, Gordan talked about the "disenchantment" that Black voters have and urged the president to convince them.

What did Ed Gordan tell Joe Biden?

"If I’m honest with you, the enthusiasm this time around is not the same as the last time you won. There is a certain disenchantment," Gordan told the president, according to Fox News. "Detroit, Philadelphia, Atlanta are going to be deciding factors in that 270 you’ve got to get to. I’d like you to take a moment and tell Black America why they should turn out for you," he added.

Joe Biden said Black voters 'know where my head is'

"Because they know where my heart is, they know where my head is," Biden responded. "And by the way, if you’ve noticed whether it’s young Blacks or young Whites or young Hispanics or young Asian Americans, they never focused until after Labor Day," the president continued.

He added, "I mean the idea that they’re focused intently on the election right now is, is not there. And by the way, if you look at the presidents who have won at this stage of the game in the last seven or eight presidents, five of them were losing at this time by significant margins. We’re just getting down to game time now." 

Joe Biden said he would step down from the race if 'some medical condition' emerged

In addition, Biden declared he would withdraw from the race if "some medical condition" surfaced and medical professionals informed him that "you got this problem." Admitting that he made a "serious mistake" in the debate, Biden stated that he "didn't anticipate things getting so, so, so divided" when he first declared that he would be a "transitional candidate" and that he would be able to "just pass it on to someone else."

"And quite frankly, I think the only thing age brings is a little bit of wisdom," Biden told Gordan, adding "And I think I've demonstrated that I know how to get things done for the country, in spite of the fact we're told we couldn't get it done. But there's more to do, and I'm reluctant to walk away from that." 

Joe Biden spoke at the NAACP convention in Nevada 

Tuesday was Biden's first speech at an NAACP convention in Nevada; his first public appearance since tformer president Donald Trump was targeted at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Before declaring Vice President Kamala Harris "could be president," Biden denounced political violence and praised having the most diverse administration in American history.

"It's because of you that I'm president and Kamala Harris is vice president," Biden told the crowd, adding "And by the way, she's not only a great vice president, she could be president of the United States."

Internet mocks Joe Biden after his remarks on Black voters

Netizens ridiculed the current US president after he addressed Black voters' "disenchantment" in an interview. Both Biden and Trump are heavily banking on the minority voters for this year's election and, as per several polls, the latter has improved his image among the people of color since the last time. 

One X user tweeted, "Well Joe your heart is not with the blacks ! You know that. All the Democrats want to do is anybody and everyone to stay in power. For years the Democrats have DONE nothing for the black community. Democrats are the ones who want to blacks back into slavery." 

"Democrats have been screwing over black voters for decades, and they've finally realized that," wrote another. "Talk is cheap. Your actions with the Black community reveal your heart," a user remarked and someone else said, "Sleepy Joe really really poured his heart out in the 1994 Crime Bill. I remember also him calling the black community super predators in public hearings. That's where his heart is!" 

One choed, "JOE'S HEART IS WITH HUNTER AND CHINA."
