According to the Vice President, former Arizona Congresswoman Gabby Giffords was “mortally wounded.”
“Think about what happened out in — when Gabby Giffords, my good friend, was shot and mortally wounded,” Biden said during a gun control press conference on Thursday morning.
Biden held the press conference with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, as well as family members of shooting victims. The group was pushing for what they call “common sense” gun control legislation.
In remarks at a Virginia campaign stop on Saturday, Biden screwed up again, mistaking the name – twice – of Obama’s close friend, Tim Kaine, a Virginia Democratic US Senate candidate.
“I want to tell you, it’s good to be in a state that’s going to be represented by Tim Kaine,” Biden said to a crowd of over a thousand people. “What a guy! There is a decent honorable man. That man has more integrity in his little finger than most people have in their whole body. I’m a big Tom Kaine fan, a big Tom Kaine fan.”
Kaine later tweeted, “Thanks to the VPOTUS for the shout out today. I love Jay Biden!”
The vice president is no stranger to the former Virginia governor, having headlined a fundraiser for Kaine’s senatorial bid in late May.
Romney Campaign Spokesman Ryan Williams immediately seized on the opportunity to throw a jab at the vice president, issuing a statement declaring Biden “forgot the name of his own Virginia Democratic Senate nominee and he wants voters to forget about President Obama’s failed economic policies and lack of a real agenda for a second term.”
Here’s the video of Biden’s remarks:

by Patricia Zengerle. U.S. Vice President Joe Biden told a campaign rally on Tuesday that the middle class has been buried for the past four years, just longer than President Barack Obama’s time in the White House.
Republicans immediately seized on what they termed a “stunning admission” by Biden as evidence that Obama’s policies have been bad for the economy, the day before Obama and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney meet in their first presidential debate.
Discussing what the Obama campaign contends are Romney’s plans to raise taxes on most Americans to fund tax cuts for the wealthy, Biden made his comment in an emotional speech to a crowd in Charlotte, North Carolina.
“This is deadly earnest. How they can justify … raising taxes on the middle class that has been buried the last four years? How in the Lord’s name can they justify raising their taxes and these tax cuts?” he asked.
“We’ve seen this movie before – massive tax cuts for the wealthy, eliminating restrictions on Wall Street, let the banks write their own rules. We know where it ends. It ends in the catastrophe of the middle class and the Great Recession of 2008. Folks, we cannot go back to that. The president and I have a different way forward,” Biden said.

The Biden’s can’t seem to get away from the gaffes. At a Democratic event, Mrs. Biden makes an apparently accidental, X-rated joke. Any respectable crowd would have let it go, but not this leftist one. Of course, the gaffe-master himself, VP Joe Biden, was encouraging the childish behavior from the background.
Rep. Paul Ryan received a rousing welcome at this Ohio campaign stop and then poked some fun at Vice President Biden’s expense.
The same day, Vice President Biden attempts to slam Rep. Ryan but then commits yet another gaffe:
