A video has emerged of former Vice President Joe Biden calling American troops “stupid bastards” and a “dull bunch” in 2016.
In the video which first emerged in 2017, the candidate of the Democratic Party for the November presidential election can be seen addressing the troops of the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing stationed in Southeast Asia.
In the clip recorded on March 7, 2016, Biden can be heard saying, “I have incredibly good judgment.
“One, I married Jill, and two, I appointed Johnson to the academy. I just want you to know that.”
Apparently disappointed that none of the troops cheered or clapped, the then Vice President adds, “Clap for that, you stupid bastards.”
Unsatisfied with the first jibe, Biden further calls the troops a “dull bunch”.
He then follows up with: “It must be slow here, man.”
Watch video:
Wow. Democrat Presidential candidate Joe Biden called our troops "stupid bastards" in 2016. How did this video stay hidden for so long? There’s only one stupid bastard in this clip and it’s definitely not any of our troops… pic.twitter.com/YZ99utMx30

The video emerged a few weeks after Democrats accused President Donald Trump of insulting troops by calling them “suckers” and “losers”.
However, no evidence of Trump’s alleged outburst has been provided to back the claims.
